Subject list: 

Computational Methods and Mathematical Models for Science. Introduces mathematical models, probability, and computational methods necessary for solving complex geological and environmental problems

Geology. Introduces Earth system dynamics, lithogenic processes, rock recognition, and fundamental stratigraphic and geological time concepts

Physical Geography and Geomorphology. Covers atmospheric dynamics, climate, and relief modelling, examining lithology and structural morphology as factors in the evolution of landscapes

Chemistry. Covers fundamental chemistry topics essential for the rigorous description and scientific interpretation of various geological processes

Physics. Introduces classical and modern physics, including mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism, with specific applications relevant to the basic training of geologists

Paleontology. Examines the fossil record, formation and application to understand biostratigraphy, paleoecology, and the history of life through geological time

Environmental Geochemistry. Explores mineralogy and petrography to understand mineral associations, magma evolution, volcanic processes, and the compositional variability of environmental waters

Engineering Geology and Groundwater Hydrology. Provides advanced knowledge in hydrology and hydrogeology, focusing on technical geology applications, slope dynamics, and associated environmental hazard risks

Pure and Applied Geophysics. Introduces Earth dynamics, including seismology, magnetism, and gravimetry, using geophysical techniques to study the planet's structure and surface phenomena

Mineralogy and Petrology. Provides a comprehensive understanding of mineralogy, petrography, and petrology for identifying rocks and minerals and understanding their formation processes

Field Survey and Geological Mapping. Principles of mapping, rock body representation, and tectonic structures, focusing on creating geological maps

Tectonics and Structural Geology. Provides advanced training in Earth System evolution and plate tectonics, teaching students to apply theoretical and practical tools for geological analysis

Geographical Information Systems. Teaches GIS knowledge and its practical applications for the forecasting, prevention, and detailed characterisation of geological and environmental risks

Volcanology and Volcanic Hazard. Educates students on physical processes of volcanism, magma ascent parameters, eruption dynamics, and defining hazards associated with volcanic areas

Geo-Hydrological Hazards. Studies slope dynamics, erosion, transport, and sedimentation processes to interpret rapid geological dynamics and hazards for sustainable land management

Fundamentals of Seismic Hazard. Develops theoretical and technical skills for analysing seismic risk, evaluating ground effects, and understanding the statistical properties of earthquakes

Mineral Resources and Sustainability. Focuses on raw materials, mining techniques, circular economy, and waste extraction, while assessing environmental impacts of mineral resource exploitation

Petrologic Tracers of Geo-Environmental Hazard. Applies petrologic tracers to environmental matrices to evaluate volcanological hazards and the impact of geological and anthropic processes on risks

Field Geology Activity. Involves an autonomous group survey in the Apennines, resulting in a detailed geological map, cross-sections, and an interpretative field report
