Design of a virtual test bed for the Italian territory
Creating quantitative tools to assess scenarios of impacts of geological processes (such as landslides, subsidence, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes), often chained in a “domino-like” effect, is an ambitious goal for quantifying risk and, consequently, supporting effective mitigation and resilience planning. The RETURN Project, funded by the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), integrated multidisciplinary expertise to generate su…
Geohazard features of the north-western Sicily and Pantelleria
We present maps of geohazard features identified across north-western Sicily and Pantelleria in the framework of the Magic project (MArine Geohazard along Italian Coasts), which involved Italian marine geological researchers in 2007-2013. These seafloor features were recognized using high-resolution bathymetry data and rely on the morphological expression of the seafloor and shallow sub-surface processes. The north-western Sicily is a complex con…
Geohazard features of the Tyrrhenian Calabria
This paper accompanies the Maps of Geohazard features of the Cilento and the Calabro-Tyrrhenian continental margin in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea (Italy). The main geohazard-related features were derived from extensive seafloor mapping through the collection of high-resolution multibeam data acquired during several oceanographic cruises. They encompass many fluids seepage features, fault scarps, landslides scars, gullies, channels, and canyons. H…
Submerged speleothem in Malta indicates tectonic stability throughout the Holocene
Submerged caves represent potential archives of speleothems with continental and marine biogenic layers. In turn, these can be used to reconstruct relative sea-level changes. This study presents new data on the tectonic behaviour of the island of Malta during the Holocene. These data were obtained from a speleothem sampled, during an underwater survey, at a depth of −14.5 m, inside a recently discovered submerged cave. Since the cave was mainly f…
Flooding scenario for four Italian coastal plains using three relative sea level rise models
The coastal areas of the central Mediterranean Sea are sensitive to climate change and the consequent relative sea level rise. Both phenomena may affect densely urbanized and populated areas, causing severe damages.Our maps show the land-marine flooding projections as effects of the expected relative sea level rise for four Italian coastal plains using (i) IPCC AR5 estimations, based on the IPCC RCP 8.5 emission scenarios and (ii) the Rahmstorf 2…
