A Unipd study explains the causes of the collapse on the Marmolada
The dramatic images of 3 July 2022 are still vivid in all our minds, when the serach detached from the summit canopy near Punta Rocca, on the left summit of the Marmolada.
The event attracted the interest of scholars and researchers from all over the world due to
the exceptional nature of the natural phenomenon that occurred, the first of its kind to
occur in the context of the Marmolada group, the highest massif in the Dolomites.
A first study, published by the University of Padova,
explains what happened, analysing the causes of the phenomenon and linking it to the
growing problem of global warming.
