Special session - Geological cartography in Italy and in Europe: perspectives and opportunities
Thursday, June 14th, 9.00 – 13.00
Tuesday, 14th June 2012 Conference Room C/D | Opening: |
Organized in collaboration with EuroGeoSurveys, Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale, Federazione Italiana Scienze della Terra, Consiglio Nazionale dei Geologi Italia.
Geological cartography is a fundamental tool for the knowledge of the territory, soil and subsurface, and it is an essential requisite for territorial planning, for an efficient and sustainable use of natural resources and for mitigation and prevention of the risks associated with natural phenomena, among other questions. At European level the status of the geological cartography projects is extremely different both for the legislation framework, the scientific programme and the sensitivity of the political and administrative systems. The session should stimulate a technical and political discussion on the perspectives and the opportunities of the geological cartography in Europe with a special attention to the Italian situation.
