Learning objectives
The course has three main objectives: 1) to provide some fundamental elements of Earth Sciences aimed at understanding the evolution of the Earth's system and its dynamic character; 2) to provide basic notions for the interpretation and use of geological data available at national and regional level (for non-geological professionals); 3) highlight the multiple hazards and geological risk factors that characterise the national territory. Considering that the European INSPIRE (INfrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe) directive implemented in Italy with Legislative Decree 32/2010 has completely changed the management and distribution of territorial data and, in particular, geological data. The course also provides indications on how to use the geothematic data made available by standard OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) services of the leading national and regional geoportals, which have become the main (and often the only) source of information and acquisition of such data.
1) knowledge and understanding
At the end of the training activity, the student will acquire knowledge of the primary dynamic processes affecting the terrestrial system and the hazard and risk factors associated with them and will be able to understand the terminology and symbols used in geological maps, as well as to have the basic knowledge necessary to acquire geological data from the leading national and regional geoportals
2) applying knowledge and understanding.
At the end of the training activity, the student must demonstrate that he can perform a search for geothematic data (and in particular those relating to geological cartography) made available by the leading national and regional geoportals and use them to carry out a brief description of the physical characteristics of the territory with particular reference to its geological hazard factors and relative risk.
3) making judgements.
Through the examples proposed during the lessons and the exercises, the student must be able to evaluate the quality of the geological data acquired or the limits related to their use in territorial studies. He must also be able to correctly cite the source of information obtained to clearly distinguish bibliographic data from his interpretations.
4) communication skills.
The student must acquire a primary technical language related to the topics covered during the lessons and exercises to dialogue with professionals and experts engaged in environmental, territorial analysis, management, and design. Communication skills will be verified during the ongoing tests and the final exam.
5) learning skills
The student will have to demonstrate that he possesses the essential notions to be able to carry out a general analysis of the geological data available (on a limited territorial area) and also to be able to acquire further knowledge. Then, data will be acquired for a more in-depth analysis of specific, variable aspects depending on the local characteristics and, therefore, also different from those treated in the examples considered during the course and exercises.

3) making judgements.
Through the examples proposed during the lessons and the exercises, the student must be able to evaluate the quality of the geological data acquired or the limits related to their use in territorial studies. He must also be able to correctly cite the source of information obtained to clearly distinguish bibliographic data from his interpretations.
4) communication skills.
The student must acquire a primary technical language related to the topics covered during the lessons and exercises to dialogue with professionals and experts engaged in environmental, territorial analysis, management, and design. Communication skills will be verified during the ongoing tests and the final exam.
5) learning skills
The student will have to demonstrate that he possesses the essential notions to be able to carry out a general analysis of the geological data available (on a limited territorial area) and also to be able to acquire further knowledge. Then, data will be acquired for a more in-depth analysis of specific, variable aspects depending on the local characteristics and, therefore, also different from those treated in the examples considered during the course and exercises.

Learning objectives
"Modulo di Economia e politiche ambientali"
Develop knowledge and skills relating to economics applied to the forestry sector and the environment.
The course is aimed at understanding: a) the basic elements of economics; b) the economic interpretative keys relating to the management of natural resources and environmental resources; c) the functioning of the wood products sector and markets; d) the basic principles and techniques of forestry appraisal with references to environmental appraisal.
The objective is to develop in students the ability to: autonomously interpret the economic processes that influence the sector and the environment in which they operate; autonomously evaluate the economic results of forestry companies and the validity of the investments made in them; independently develop simple forestry estimates.
These skills are also expressed in the development and use of adequate communication skills in the economic-estimative field.
Finally, it is intended to provide the fundamental economic principles so that the graduate has an adequate ability to learn even after obtaining the qualification both in the context of a master's degree course and life-long learning.
Ultimately, the aim is to train a graduate capable of operating in companies in the forest-wood-mobile system and, after an adequate period of training, in freelance professional activity.
"Modulo di Legislazione forestale e ambientale"
Reasoned knowledge of the applicable legislation - on regional, national and supranational bases - in forestry-environmental matters is a key topic for an agronomist and forestry doctor who wants to adequately interface with the structural and functional complexity of territorial systems and with the multifunctionality required in planning processes, management and conservation of natural resources. The course, therefore, following an introduction on the fundamental principles, history and sources of forestry-environmental law, aims at addressing the main issues with which operators in the sector must deal in the national and regional territories.
The course is therefore aimed at providing 1) knowledge of the relevant regulatory framework; 2) knowledge of the application measures relating to the aforementioned regulatory framework; 3) useful tools for students to develop independent analyzes and judgments when faced with the fundamental regulatory issues in this matter.
To do this, the course will be structured on a dialogic basis, with lessons that involve constant interaction between students and professor and will aim to stimulate the students' learning abilities as much as possible.
