Silvia Peppoloni
Silvia Peppoloni is an Italian geologist, researcher in the field of natural hazards and risks, science writer, and international scholar in geoethics and social geosciences. Early life and education Silvia Peppoloni was born and lives in Rome, Italy. Since she was a child, she was fascinated by geological phenomena. For hours she used to listen astonished to her grandfather's stories about the 1944 eruption of the Mount Vesuvius, Vesuvius Volcano, feeling the fear and the wonder, the sense of impotence and precariousness in front of those processes, the perception of the Earth as a "living" planet. This is the origin of her love for Earth science, geosciences. Peppoloni has a background in humanities: she obtained her high school diploma at the Italian upper secondary school. Keen on music, she studied piano from the age of 8 years and lyrical singing from 20. Singer in polyphonic and symphonic choirs, in 1994 she won the public competition and became a soprano of the youth ...

Much of the campus occupies the former monastic complex of Santa Maria in Gradi, Viterbo, Santa Maria in Gradi. The reference in the University's name to "Tuscia", evokes the term used for a historical region of Italy, centered in recent times upon the city of Viterbo, but which once referred to the far wider territories that in ancient times were under Etruscan civilization, Etruscan influence, and in post-antiquity included what is now the whole region of Tuscany, a great part of Umbria and the northern parts of Lazio.

It reached a circulation of over 1 million under editor and co-owner Luigi Albertini between 1900 and 1925. He was a strong opponent of socialism, clericalism, and Giovanni Giolitti, who was willing to compromise with those forces during his time as prime minister of Italy.

School On Geoethics And Natural Issues
A school is the educational institution (and, in the case of in-person learning, the building) designed to provide learning environments for the teaching of students, usually under the direction of teachers. Most countries have systems of formal education, which is sometimes compulsory. In these systems, students progress through a series of schools that can be built and operated by both government and private organization. The names for these schools vary by country (discussed in the '' Regional terms'' section below) but generally include primary school for young children and secondary school for teenagers who have completed primary education. An institution where higher education is taught is commonly called a university college or university. In addition to these core schools, students in a given country may also attend schools before and after primary (elementary in the U.S.) and secondary (middle school in the U.S.) education. Kindergarten or preschool provide some sch ...

It is affiliated with the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) and has 3,798 members spread across 59 national groups around the world. The association operates with three goals in mind: encourage the advancement of engineering geology; improve teaching and training within the field; and work globally to collect, evaluate, and disseminate the results of geological engineering activities. Together with Springer Science+Business Media, it publishes the '' Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment''. The first president of the IAEG was Asher Shadmon, who held the office from 1964 to 1968. The current president is Rafig Azzam from Aachen University of Technology. Every two years, the IAEG awards the '' Hans Cloos'' medal to an engineering geologist o ...

Integrated Carbon Observation System
The Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) is a research infrastructure to quantify the greenhouse gas balance of Europe and adjacent regions. In November 2015 it received the international legal status of ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium) by decision of the European Commission. It is recognized by The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) as a landmark European research infrastructure. It consists of a harmonized network of almost 200 long-term observation sites for the domains of atmosphere, ecosystems and ocean. The network is coordinated through its Head Office, the central data portal and central facilities including an atmosphere, ecosystem and ocean thematic center, and central analytical laboratories. ICOS provides the essential long-term observations required to understand the present state and predict future behavior of the global carbon cycle and greenhouse gas emissions. It monitors and assesses the effectiveness of carbon seq ...
