  • Geohazard features of the Gulf of Taranto

    Open AccessSilvia Ceramicola, Maria Rosaria Senatore et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2024

    Here, we explore the complex seabed morphologies of the Gulf of Taranto in southern Italy including their connection to the geodynamic evolution of the region that began during the Neogene period when the Adria plate started subducting beneath the retreating Calabrian arc. We compiled the first Maps of the Geohazard Features of the Gulf of Taranto through comprehensive and collaborative high-resolution seabed surveys, integrating regional high-re…

  • Geohazard Features of the Ionian Calabrian Margin

    Open AccessSilvia Ceramicola, Andrea Cova et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2024

    Here we present a detailed description of different geomorphic features to complement the Maps of Geohazard Features of the Ionian Calabrian Margin produced by the Magic project (Marine Geohazard along Italian Coasts). Some of the most striking features we imaged are sources of widespread and recurrent geohazards. These include multiple coastal landslides, failure scars along open slopes, shelf-indenting retrogressive canyon headwalls and active …

  • Late Quaternary transgressions and regressions in the Trieste Gulf (north-eastern Adriatic Sea)

    Open AccessMassimo Zecchin, Mauro Caffau et al.ARTICLEQuaternary International2024

    The integration of high-resolution seismic profiles, core data and radiocarbon plus U-Th datings, allows to document the late Quaternary succession of the Trieste Gulf, which represents the easternmost part of the northern Adriatic Sea. This succession consists of an alternation of shallow-marine and continental deposits organized to compose four transgressive-regressive sequences down to ca. 90 m below present sea level. The sequences terminate …

  • Stratigraphic signature of the Perito Moreno ice-dammings during the Little Ice Age (southern Patagonia, Argentina)

    Open AccessMauro Caffau, Emanuele Lodolo et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2021References: 7

    The spectacular water outburst occurring semi-periodically when the ice-dam formed by the external front of the Perito Moreno glacier collapses, is one of the most attracting events in the UNESCO ‘Parque Nacional Los Glaciares’ of southern Patagonia. These occurrences have been documented since 1936. Instead, evidence of previous events has been only indirectly provided by dendrochronology analysis. Here we show for the first time radiocarbon-dat…

  • Geology of the Pergola–Melandro basin area, Southern Apennines, Italy

    Open AccessDario Civile, Marcello Schiattarella et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2017

    The Southern Apennines (SA) are part of the Apennine–Maghrebian chain, a segment of the circum-Mediterranean Alpine orogenic system. It is a NE-verging fold-and-thrust belt with an about N150°-striking axis developed since the late Oligocene-early Miocene. The Geological Map at 1:25,000 scale of the Pergola–Melandro basin area, presents a sector of the axial zone of the SA which represents a key area to reconstruct the tectonic evolution of this …

  • Recognition of a drowned delta in the northern Adriatic Sea, Italy

    Open AccessMassimo Zecchin, Emiliano Gordini et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2015References: 6

    Seismic and core data off the Tagliamento river delta, northern Adriatic Sea, Italy, have allowed the recognition of a partially eroded sand ridge at 12 to 18 m water depth, which has been interpreted as a submerged wave-dominated delta with associated beach-ridge complexes. The ridge shows local channel fill features, interpreted as the result of the filling of tidal channels connecting the open sea with bays and lagoons placed adjacent to the a…

  • Sequence stratigraphic significance of tidal channel systems in a shallow lagoon (Venice, Italy)

    Open AccessMassimo Zecchin, Luigi Tosi et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2014Cited by: 1References: 2

    The Holocene succession located in the central part of the Venice Lagoon has been investigated by means of high-resolution seismic and core data, which document a full back-barrier depositional environment developed during the last 6 kyr. The studied succession, 4.5–23 m thick, consists of three seismic units bounded at the base by stratal surfaces marked by deep tidal channel incisions, recording main changes in the lagoon hydrodynamics as well …
