In particular, knowledge on approaches based on radar concepts, impedance and capacitance tomography, inverse scattering, and microwaves tomography will be provided, with particular reference to civil and environmental applications.	-
	94666 - REMOTE SENSING OF NATURAL DISASTERS	ING-INF/03	5	5 CFU CARATTERIZZANTI Ingegneria della Sicurezza e Protezione dell'Informazione	In the framework of natural disaster risk management, the objective of the module is to provide the student with basic knowledge about information extraction from remote sensing images, with special focus on land cover mapping and bio/geophysical parameter retrieval in the context of risk prevention, on change detection in the context of damage assessment, and on the integration of the resulting thematic products in a geographic information system.	-
94667	SYSTEM MANAGEMENT FOR ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT	ING-IND/09	5	5 CFU AFFINI O INTEGRATIVE Attività Formative Affini o Integrative	The module covers the topics related to the management of the processes for Electricity generation from traditional and Renewable Energy Sources and their interaction with the Environment on a local and global scale will be presented in the contest of energy transition. Fuel properties and associated risks are presented, with a focus on monitoring networks. Combustion process and its environmental impact will be investigated and the Best Available Technology to reduce pollutant emissions in Large Combustion Plant, LCP, will be analyzed also on the base of the European IPCC BrEF Documents.	-
94669	CRITICAL ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURES MODELLING AND SIMULATION	ING-IND/33	5	5 CFU A SCELTA A Scelta dello Studente	The module is focused on the modelling and simulation of critical energy infrastructures, such as smart grids, electricity production plants, electrical storage systems and transmission lines, considering also electrical system faults; the planning and the operation of the aforementioned energy infrastructures composed of different interconnected systems will be analyzed and the main characteristics of the electric system will be discussed.	-
94673	MASTER THESIS		20	20 CFU PROVA FINALE Per la Prova Finale	The objective of the master thesis is to allow the student to analyze and address in depth a specific topic of natural risk management, through the execution of a project work and the redaction of a written manuscript, under a teacher’s supervision.	-
94674	STAGE		5	5 CFU ALTRE ATTIVITA' Tirocini Formativi e di Orientamento	The objective of the “stage” (internship) is to allow the student to apply, in an enterprise, institutional, laboratory, or scientific framework, the methodological knowledge and expertise obtained within the master studies.	-
104394	RISK COMMUNICATION AND PERCEPTION	M-PSI/06	5	5 CFU A SCELTA A Scelta dello Studente	The module aims at exploring how individuals perceive, assess, and communicate risks in various contexts concerning environmental hazards. Through interdisciplinary perspectives from psychology, sociology, communication studies, and risk analysis, students delve into the cognitive, emotional, and social factors influencing risk perception. The module also examines strategies for effective risk communication, including message framing, visual aids, and the role of media and technology. By critically analyzing case studies and current research, students develop a nuanced understanding of how risk perception shapes public attitudes, policies, and behaviors.	-
108566	ADVANCED RISK ASSESSMENT		5			-
	108567 - SEISMIC RISK ASSESSMENT AND MITIGATION OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT	ICAR/09	2.5	2.5 CFU A SCELTA A Scelta dello Studente	This module aims to provide the fundamentals of seismic risk assessment, emergency management, and mitigation policies of the built environment, with particular emphasis on buildings. At the end of the module, the student will learn the concepts of seismic risk, focusing on their components (hazard, exposure, vulnerability, and resilience). Furthermore, the student will be able to discuss critically possible seismic risk reduction policies and finally acquire the tools to manage large-scale damage and vulnerability survey of existing buildings in the post-earthquake emergency phase.	-
	108570 - MULTI-HAZARD IMPACT AND RISK ASSESSMENT	ICAR/02	2.5	2.5 CFU A SCELTA A Scelta dello Studente	Lo scopo di questo modulo è fornire i fondamenti della modellizzazione multi-hazard e multi-rischio. Al termine del modulo, lo studente sarà in grado di applicare concetti e definizioni multi-hazard e multi-rischio e di descrivere gli approcci disponibili per la modellizzazione qualitativa e quantitativa multi-rischio. Inoltre, lo studente sarà in grado di selezionare gli approcci migliori per gestire contesti multi-rischio e implementare strategie di riduzione del rischio di catastrofi multi-rischio (DRR). La conoscenza degli approcci di valutazione e gestione del rischio che considerano rischi multipli e le loro potenziali interazioni aiuterà lo studente a comprendere e catturare meglio il rischio reale a cui sono soggette molte aree del mondo, consentendo di implementare misure di "disaster risk reduction" più efficaci.	-
