MOSE (EXPERIMENTAL ELECTROMECHANICAL MODULE; ITALIAN: MODULO SPERIMENTALE ELETTROMECCANICO) Overview / Summary of the Initiative
MOSE (EXPERIMENTAL ELECTROMECHANICAL MODULE; ITALIAN: MODULO SPERIMENTALE ELETTROMECCANICO) Overview / summary of the initiative Title: MoSE (Experimental Electromechanical Module; Italian: MOdulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico) Country: Italy (Veneto region) Thematic area: Security, Climate change Objective(s): 1. To protect from flooding the city of Venice and the Venetian Lagoon, with its towns, villages and inhabitants along with its iconic historic, artistic and environmental heritage. 2. To contribute to the socio-economic growth of the area and hence to the development of the port and related activities. 3. To guarantee the existing and future port activities inside the Lagoon in its various specificities of Chioggia, Cavallino and Venice. Timeline: The launch of the project started in 1973, when for the first time the Italian Government took in consideration the realisation of mechanic structures to prevent Venice from flooding. 2003 (start of the works)-2019 (estimation) Scale of the initiative: EUR 5.493 million (2014 estimation) Scope of the initiative • Focused on new knowledge creation (basic research, TRLs 1-4): TO A CERTAIN EXTENT; the development and following implementation of the MoSE project have focused on knowledge creation and prototypes development since the 1980s. However, this is useful to the construction at the three inlets of the Venice lagoon and mobile barriers. • Focused on knowledge application (applied research, TRLs 5-9): YES; the MoSE project aims to apply the developed technological solutions and to demonstrate its validity. Source of funding (public/private/public-private): Public funding: since 2003 (year of start of the works) the national government has been the financial promoter of the MoSE. -

Maria Sabrina De Gobbi* University of London, London, UK Email: [email protected] Received July 22nd, 2013; revised August 26th, 2013; accepted September 15th, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Maria Sabrina De Gobbi.

This paper shows how much citizens’ views are taken into account in local policy decision-making con- cerning the management of the coastal area of the Venice Lagoon. Through the application of a somewhat innovative version of the contingent valuation method (CVM), it is possible to understand how to set a good balance among economic development, the social dimension and environmental protection in a coastal zone. The methodology allows for a clear assessment of the economic value of non-use values. In 2010, an online survey was conducted in the Venice area to find out how local much citizens value two protected areas in the Venice Lagoon. Four hypotheses were tested to find out whether the age of respon- dents, the municipality where they live, their income level, and the visited and protected sites are factors determining a different willingness to pay for environmental protection. -

The Value of Citizen Science for Flood Risk Reduction: Cost-Benefit Analysis of a Citizen Observatory in the Brenta-Bacchiglione

The Value of Citizen Science for Flood Risk Reduction: Cost-benefit Analysis of a Citizen Observatory in the Brenta-Bacchiglione Catchment Michele Ferri1, Uta Wehn2, Linda See3, Martina Monego1, Steffen Fritz3 5 1Alto-Adriatico Water Authority (AAWA), Cannaregio 4314, 30121 Venice, Italy 2IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, Westvest 7, 2611 AX Delft, The Netherlands 3International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Schlossplatz 1, 2361 Laxenburg, Austria Correspondence to: Michele Ferri ([email protected]) Abstract. Citizen observatories are a relatively recent form of citizen science. As part of the flood risk management strategy 10 of the Brenta-Bacchiglione catchment, a citizen observatory for flood risk management has been proposed and is currently being implemented. Citizens are involved through monitoring water levels and obstructions and providing other relevant information through mobile apps, where the data are assimilated with other sensor data in a hydrological-hydraulic model used in early warning. A cost benefit analysis of the citizen observatory was undertaken to demonstrate the value of this approach in monetary terms. Although not yet fully operational, the citizen observatory is assumed to decrease the social 15 vulnerability of the flood risk. By calculating the hazard, exposure and vulnerability of three flood scenarios (required for flood risk management planning by the EU Directive on Flood Risk Management) with and without the proposed citizen observatory, it is possible to evaluate the benefits in terms of the average annual avoided damage costs. -

Escursione Di Geomorfologia Urbana GEOMORFOLOGIA E
ASSEMBLEA DEI SOCI AIGEO E COMMEMORAZIONE DEL PROF. G.B. CASTIGLIONI PADOVA, 21-22 MARZO 2019 Escursione di geomorfologia urbana GEOMORFOLOGIA E GEOARCHEOLOGIA DI PADOVA Paolo Mozzi, Alessandro Fontana, Sandro Rossato Dipartimento di Geoscienze, Università degli Studi di Padova Francesco Ferrarese, Silvia Piovan Dipartimento di Scienze Storiche, Geografiche e dell’Antichità, Università degli Studi di Padova La pianura su cui sorge Padova è costituita da un mosaico di unità geomorfologiche che si sono formate in tempi diversi ad opera dei fiumi Brenta e Bacchiglione (Fig. 1). Ampi settori corrispondono alla piana di divagazione del Brenta durante il Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), quando il Brenta alimentava un ampio megafan alluvionale che ad est si estendeva fino al fiume Sile, ad ovest lambiva i Colli Berici e verso sud continuava per decine di chilometri oltre l’attuale area costiera (Mozzi, 2005; Rossato & Mozzi, 2016; Rossato et al., 2018). Con la deglaciazione si ebbe un momento di marcata tendenza all’erosione dei fiumi alpini, con la formazione di molteplici valli incise (Fontana et al., 2014). Nell’area di Padova se ne formarono varie, profonde fino a 10 - 12 m rispetto alla pianura LGM, che probabilmente si riempirono in buona parte già durante il Tardoglaciale e l’inizio dell’Olocene ad opera dei successivi sedimenti del Brenta (Mozzi et al., 2013). La principale di queste valli, larga fino a 3 - 4 km, passava a nord di Padova e fu seguita dal Brenta fino a circa 6.3 ka cal BP, lasciando tracce di alvei relitti ad elevata sinuosità quale il cosiddetto paleoalveo della Storta (Fig. -
Company Profile
Woodn Industries creates projects with its innovative materials to clothe the ideas of the world of architecture and design with sartorial elegance, while respecting ethics and the environment. CLICK TO SEE SOME OF OUR CREATIONS HISTORY The idea comes from afar... from China, like the compass, silk, ink and gunpowder. A really explosive invention which, like the compass, points to new directions, like silk it elegantly clothes any form on which it alights, like ink it spreads the best ideas. The company began in 2002 in China, where there is an abundance of residue from the processing of bamboo, the basic element of Woodn. Two years later, some Italian entrepreneurs became interested in the project, joined the company and began to test the material, which immediately proved to be intrinsically different from ordinary composite wood. Thanks to the Italian contribution, research continued and brought even more beauty, more reliability, more diversity than anything else the market is able to propose. The LEED, UNI, EN and ISO 9000 certifications obtained in the years that followed confirm this intuition: Woodn is a real evolutionary step in the classification of synthetic materials In 2008, Woodn was already a UNIQUE SPECIES! The products were already fully aligned with western aesthetic and quality standards, while the ownership of the company passed into Italian hands. The new owners transferred the technical, commercial, planning and administrative management to Italy, while the production remained in China. After seven years of uninterrupted -
