Maria Laura Poletti - On the trail of extreme events in Italy
The International Center for Environmental Monitoring CIMA Research Foundation is an International research organization. It aims to promote the study, scientific research, technological development and advanced training in engineering and environmental sciences for the protection of public health, civil protection and ecosystems.The scientific research realized by CIMA focuses on disaster risk mitigation. Since its beginning, CIMA Research Foundation has been dedicated to hydrometeorological risk mitigation, developing mathematical models to improve the forecasting and prevention of flood phenomena, and wildfire forecasting and prevention. Over the years, its areas of research have expanded to include wildfire forest biodiversity conservation, satellite data analysis, risk assessment and damage data analysis. An important branch is also dedicated to marine ecosystems and to the development of civil protection plans through participatory approach with the population. A line of research is also dedicated to regulatory review activities (including complex national and foreign institutional architectures), legal compliance, legal risk analysis in risk management and forensic investigation. The Foundation's activities are not limited to research. Our technicians and researchers contribute to the dissemination of knowledge through training, and to technological development.
In the following presentation you will find a brief explanation of the interactive exhibit we presented at this year's Genoa Science Festival and what we do in e-learning at CIMA Research Foundation.
Exhibition "Extreme Events That Leave a Mark" by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers - Department of Civil Protection, developed in collaboration with CIMA Foundation, ANPAS, National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology and ReLUIS for the institutional campaign "IO NON RISCHIO" (I don't take risks)
