Natural Earth Pigments as Geological Polymineral Systems
Natural earth pigments are polymineral materials whose present composition may differ from the source because of selection, grinding, heating, mixing, binder incorporation, and later alteration. This study develops a structured method for separating these contributions and for stating which provenance and degradation claims are supported by available evidence. The material is represented by geological, technological, and degradation components li…
Sedimentological and Ecological Controls on Heavy Metal Distributions in a Mediterranean Shallow Coastal Lake (Lake Ganzirri, Italy)
Coastal lakes are highly vulnerable transitional systems in which sedimentological processes and benthic ecological conditions jointly control contaminant accumulation and preservation, particularly in densely urbanized settings. A robust understanding of the physical and ecological characteristics of bottom sediments is therefore essential for the correct interpretation of contaminant distributions, including those of potentially toxic metals. I…
Sedimentological and Geological Mapping of the Shallow Platform and Deep Basin of Lake Faro (Cape Peloro Coastal Lagoon, Italy)
Lake Faro (Cape Peloro coastal lagoon, NE Sicily, Italy) is a distinctive Mediterranean coastal lake characterized by the coexistence of a shallow platform and a steep-sided deep basin within a very limited area. This study provides a sedimentological and geological characterization of the present-day lake floor based on grain-size, petrographic, statistical, and GIS-based analyses, with the aim of clarifying the relationship between basin morpho…
The Inventory and Quantitative Assessment of Geodiversity as Strategic Tools for Promoting Sustainable Geoconservation and Geo-Education in the Peloritani Mountains (Italy)
Most methods used for geoheritage inventories do not consider the quantitative assessment of the geodiversity indicators; consequently, it can happen that some geosites are wrongly inventoried as geodiversity sites and vice versa or activities for scientific, educational, and touristic purposes actually should not be planned in geoheritage sites unprovided with requirements. The main aim of the present paper is to raise awareness of the type of g…
Advances in Flipped Classrooms for Teaching and Learning Forensic Geology
One of the most famous criminal investigations involved the use of forensic geology to assist law enforcement agencies in the homicide case of the Italian honorable Aldo Moro. Notwithstanding this important tribute to forensic geology, in Italy, the role and value of using geological and soil materials (known as earth materials) to support law enforcement agencies in solving criminal investigations remain uncommon. This absence may be due to few …
