Sinkholes and underground cavities: perspectives of scientific research towards the drafting of Guidelines

The conference entitled: "Sinkholes and underground cavities: perspectives of scientific research towards the drafting of Guidelines" will be held in Rome on 2 February. The topic of the study day are the sinkholes, both natural and anthropogenic, which suddenly open up in urban areas but also in rural environments. The problems still connected to the study of these phenomena will be exposed, as well as the difficulties in carrying out an effective territorial analysis in order to estimate the danger and the risk induced by the phenomenon.

The results relating to the three-year  project Moscas (Models and tools for the characterization of underground cavities) will be presented (funded by MITE, implemented by ISPRA, the University of Florence and the Federico II University of Naples) and will focus study areas investigated within the project.
