Reconstruction of extreme hydrological events based on environmental magnetic properties of Holocene pyrite-bearing layers from the East River Delta Plain, southern China
Open AccessYongying Zeng, Mingkun Li et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2026
The frequent occurrence of extreme hydrological events (EHEs) poses a serious threat to human living environment. Magnetic profiles of deltaic sediments contain high-resolution EHE records, and magnetic minerals could be finally altered to pyrite by reductive diagenesis. Till now, the preservation of EHEs in the pyrite-bearing layers that formed through diagenesis is poorly known. In this study, systematic magnetic tests were conducted on Holocen…

Open AccessMarco Cacciari, Alessandro Amorosi et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2024Cited by: 1References: 13
Holocene prodelta lobes are key sedimentary archives of environmental change that can be used effectively for high-resolution palynological investigations, as they: (i) consist almost entirely of mud, (ii) represent stratigraphically expanded successions, and (iii) are strictly related to river dynamics, thus reflecting vegetation changes in river catchments. In this study, we focussed on the ~20 m-thick prodelta succession of the modern Po Delta…
Flooding scenario for four Italian coastal plains using three relative sea level rise models
Open AccessAntonella Marsico, Stefania Lisco et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2017
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…
Deciphering the effects of human activity on urban areas through morphostratigraphic analysis
Open AccessMonica Bini, Marta Pappalardo et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2017Cited by: 6References: 6
The type, thickness, and volume of anthropogenic deposits buried beneath long‐settled cities are good indicators of the human impact on urban environments and topography. Pisa is a multilayered city settled since Etruscan times in the lower Arno Plain. Stratigraphic and geomorphologic data from the urban subsurface show that Pisa today is located on a mound ( ca . 4 m high) made up dominantly of anthropogenic deposits. Two types of anthropogenic …

Human–landscape interactions in the Bologna area (northern Italy) during the mid–late Holocene, with focus on the Roman period
Open AccessLaura Bruno, Luigi Bruno et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2013Cited by: 3References: 7
Integrated sedimentological and archaeological investigations of mid–late Holocene deposits from the subsurface of Bologna elucidate the complex relationship among urban settlement, human society, geomorphology and climate change at the southern margin of the Po Plain. Above the Pleistocene–Holocene unconformity, the Holocene succession forms an intricate mosaic of alluvial deposits. Two palaeosols, spanning between about 8000–5000 cal. yr BP and…

Glacio-Eustatic Control of Continental–Shallow Marine Cyclicity from Late Quaternary Deposits of the Southeastern Po Plain, Northern Italy
Open AccessAlessandro Amorosi, Maria Luisa Colalongo et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1999
Integrated sedimentological and micropaleontological (foraminifera, ostracods, pollens) investigations of a 173-m-long continuous core in the subsurface of the SE Po Plain reveal a cyclic facies distribution of continental to shallow-marine deposits. Radiometric and pollen data enable an age attribution of the study units to the late Middle Pleistocene–Holocene. Glacioeustasy appears to have exerted a major control on facies development, as docum…
