Learning Objectives
Learning objectives
The course aims to provide methodologies for the definition of the reference scenarios aimed at the characterization of natural hazards, with particular reference to flood risk.
The course will also provide the knowledge and necessary tools to analyze the interaction of structures and infrastructure, and human activities in general, with the environment, in order to define interventions for the protection and preservation of human activities, the enhancement of natural resources with particular reference to water and soil resources.

Teaching Methods
Teaching methods.
The course is developed of lectures and traditional classroom discussions, seminars by experts and practical applications possibly on specific topics, primarily dedicated to the advanced analysis of some specific topics of the course.
Revision activities are also part of learning process. Revisions can eventually be carried out collectively with all the students during the course.

Type of Assessment
Assessment of learning process.
In agreement with the teacher will be defined a case study to be investigated among the topics covered in class or suggested by the teacher.
The evaluation will be based on the presentation and discussion of the case study and an oral exam on the topics covered in class not objective of the investigation.
