The PhD project encompasses the three disciplines of earth sciences, fluid dynamics, and Mathematics. These disciplines have strong interactions, particularly in relation to the analysis methodologies that are developed within the three fields of research.
In the field of earth sciences, the main objective is the transfer of knowledge on advanced methods of investigation with applications to the study of composition, structure, stratigraphy and evolution of our planet, from the close surface up to the deep structures and the characteristics at a global scale.
In the context of fluid mechanics, the study of motion of the fluids is mainly addressed with reference to their transport properties, dispersion and mixing in environmental or industrial processes, as well as to their interaction with the solid elements.
The fundamental laws, which these disciplines are based upon, are generally expressed through highly complex mathematical models. The qualitative and quantitative study of such models requires the development and the application of sophisticated mathematical tools, and it represents a relevant and topical research field even from the mathematical point of view. Mathematics as a whole therefore pervades the entire program, playing a central and unifying role.

The program of this PhD course aims to prepare students for various careers in research, teaching, and the industrial application of advanced technologies in the fields of earth sciences, fluid dynamicss and applied mathematics.
Throughout their doctoral studies, students will engage with various local and international environments, gaining substantial experience in both theoretical and applied analysis of problems arising in these disciplines. Additionally, they will develop familiarity and expertise in using advanced tools (including modeling, computational, and experimental techniques) for analyzing complex physical systems, which will be highly valuable for future roles in public or private research centers or in companies with high technological content.
The doctoral school, has collaborated with departments from various organizations (such as ARPA-FVG, ISMAR-CNR, ENEA, and INGV), as well as with OGS and ICTP, and with local industries. The scholarships funded by these organizations, along with their involvement, stem from their need for highly specialized personnel in the topics addressed by the PhD program. Consequently, some students from this program may naturally get postdoctoral contracts or employment with these organizations.
Almalaurea survey, concerning graduates who completed their degrees between 2019 and 2021, shows that the employment rate over the three-year period is stable at 100% (compared to the national average for the reference areas: 89.6% - 95.2%).
