General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union 2023

The EGU General Assembly 2023 will bring together geoscientists from around the world for a meeting on topics from the disciplines of the Earth, planetary and space sciences. The EGU aims to create a forum where scientists can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience.

In this international context, ISPRA will present some statistics on the use of naturalistic engineering in projects aimed at mitigating hydro-geological risk in Italy. In particular, the following will be analysed: the types of works most used, the proportion between naturalistic and "traditional" engineering and the geographical location of the interventions with respect to the protected areas of the Natura 2000 network. The aforementioned study was carried out through the analysis and processing of the data available in the ReNDiS database, the ISPRA tool for monitoring interventions for hydro- geological instability.
