It deals with morphogenetic dynamics and their cartographic representation. Study of aquifers, definition of the geological-technical characteristics of soils and rock masses aimed at the remediation of contaminated sites and groundwater. Study and evaluation of geological and hydrogeological issues related to design and construction of civil engineering works, including their environmental sustainability; assessment of landslide hazards and hydro-geomorphological and fluvial processes and seismic events.

Objectives:
The student must demonstrate knowledge and understanding of environmental issues relating to geology and its interactions with engineering works. The student must demonstrate to know the technical-scientific terminology of geological disciplines and to be able to elaborate reasoned discussions on geological risks also starting from the knowledge concerning geological cartography. It must also a) understand and identify the main situations of geological risk that may be encountered by the engineer (landslides, earthquakes, volcanic activity) and b) assess and protect groundwater resources.
