11 July 2023 Aosta (Italy): Our colleague Emanuele Lingua participated to the second summer school of the International Association for Engineering and Geology and the Environment (IAEG). He made a keynote lecture about windstorms: impacts on slope instabilities and restoration procedures.
Following the successful First Edition that was held between Italy and Austria, in 2023 the 2nd IAEG Summer School took part in Aosta, hosted by the University of the Valle d’Aosta.
The topic concerned the impacts of geo-hydrological risks related to extreme events which are increasing due to action of the global warming. The lectures (conducted by prominent international researchers) focused on processes’ mechanisms, cascade events, hazard management and communication by local authorities and resilience/adaptation strategies. More than 70 students all around the globe applied for attending the summer school. https://iaeg.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/II-IAEG-Summer-School-Final-Report.pdf
