WHAT IS A VOLCANIC RISK?; DEFINITION OF UNREST; DEFINITIONS OF PRE-ERUPTIVE, SIN-ERUPTIVE AND POST-ERUPTIVE STEPS; SEISMIC, GEODETIC, GEOCHEMICAL AND VOLCANIC PRECURSORS;
MONITORING SYSTEMS AND ORGANIZATIONS IN CHARGE; DEFINITION OF ERUPTIVE SCENARIOS AND THE PROBABILISTIC ASSESSMENT OF VOLCANIC HAZARDS; DEFINITION OF UNCERTAINTIES. BASIC PARAMETERS OF ERUPTIVE ACTIVITY.
EXPLOSIVE ERUPTIONS: PYROCLASTIC FLOW AND FALL DEPOSITS; USEFUL ELEMENTS TO RECONSTRUCT THE DISTRIBUTION OF FALL DEPOSITS (ASH); PYROCLASTIC FLOW PROCESSES; MAIN CRITERIA IN CIVIL PROTECTION.
EFFUSIVE ERUPTIONS: LAVA FLOW PROCESSES; ELEMENTS FOR MEASURING AND RECONSTRUCTING OF ERUPTIVE AND COOLING RATES; NATURAL LAVA TUNNEL AND MAXIMUM RUNOUT; DOMES AND BUILDING COLLAPSES.
VOLCANOCLASTIC REMOBILIZATION PRODUCTS: LAHAR; DISTINCTION BETWEEN SIN-, POST AND INTER-ERUPTIVE LAHARS; SOURCES OF WATER AND TRIGGERING FACTORS; HAZARD FROM GAS EMISSION; SEISMIC HAZARD IN VOLCANIC AREAS; NOTES ON AVALANCHE HAZARDS.
CRITERIA FOR RISK ASSESSMENT: VULNERABILITY; LIVEABILITY; TOLERANCE LIMITS OF BUILDING STRUCTURES; EFFECTS ON THE AIR TRAFFIC; THE CIVIL PROTECTION SYSTEMS OF ITALY. READING AND USE OF THEME MAPS.
HOPEFULLY ONE OR TWO CURRICULAR OR EXTRACURRICULAR FIELD TRIPS (ROMAN AREA AND NEAPOLITAN AREA) COULD BE ACTIVATED.
