The meeting to present the research lines that INGV has selected within the Earth Telescope project for the study of the dynamics of planet Earth will take place next week
The next Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th May, in Conference Hall of the Rome Office of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), Will be held on kick-off meeting of the Earth Telescope (ET) projects funded by the ROSE project.
Earth Telescope is an INGV initiative with an interdisciplinary approach aimed at promoting the research carried out by the Institute in study of complex issues related to dynamics of planet Earth, with the aim of bringing together, over a three-year period, an international scientific community committed to studying the functioning of the Earth system.
The project ROSE (Reinforcement of the Observational Systems of the Earth), financed by the Fund for Construction and Research Infrastructure of the Ministry of University and Research (MUR), has allowed INGV to take up the Earth Telescope challenge, supporting three main lines of research:
- SAKURA (Studying the Asthenosphere as a Key to Understand the Dynamics of Plates and the Origin of Magmas), to explore the role of the asthenosphere in tectonics and magma formation, using advanced observational and analytical techniques;
- THESIS (Study of Geospheres Interactions in the Earth System), to analyze the interactions between internal processes and the Earth's surface dynamics, through seismology, geophysical surveys, modelling and laboratory experiments;
- DEMETRA (Investigating the Interplay Between Volcanic Activity and Climate Change), to study how volcanic activity interacts with climate change, assessing theImpact of volcanic emissions on global climate.
Each line of research will foster the development of new methodologies, helping to transform the understanding of Earth's dynamical systems.
By integrating scientific and technological innovation, ET aims to expand the boundaries of knowledge on Earth dynamics and to enhance synergies with other key INGV initiatives, to deepen the study of the interactions between the internal and superficial processes of the planet.
