From land to sea
Campi Flegrei is an active volcanic area located in the Campanian region (southern Italy). It is characterized by a caldera structure including a subaerial portion densely populated and a submarine area represented by the Gulf of Pozzuoli. Altimetry data acquired by Airborne Laser Scanning and seafloor depth data coming from several bathymetry surveys were used to show a Digital Elevation Model with a spatial resolution of 1 m for the topography …
Large-Scale Mercury Dispersion at Sea
This contribution discusses an example of potential multi-hazard effects resulting from an earthquake in a highly seismogenic area of the Mediterranean Sea, the Augusta Bay, which presents high levels of contamination in sediments and seawater, due particularly to high-concentrations of mercury as a result of a long-term industrial exploitation. In particular, a high-resolution hydrodynamic and transport model is used to calculate the effects of …
Bathymetry of Ischia Island and its offshore (Italy), scale 1
Here, we show the bathymetric map of Ischia Island and its offshore area (Naples Bay, Italy), an active volcanic complex in the NW sector of Naples Bay. The map presented here is based on full seafloor coverage, carried out by merging multibeam swath bathymetric data acquired from several projects using different equipment, single beam echo-sounder data and topographic data, with a final grid cell size of 20 × 20 metres. The obtained Digital Terr…
Seafloor mapping using high-resolution multibeam backscatter
We present a seafloor map of the summit of Palinuro Seamount, an E–W elongated volcanic ridge located in the Eastern Tyrrhenian Sea. The seafloor was mapped using multibeam backscatter and seafloor samples collected between 80 and 1000 m below the sea level. The high-resolution imaging of the Palinuro seafloor was obtained by merging a Digital Terrain Model with a 2.5 m-sized grid and a backscatter mosaic with 2.5 m pixel. The resulting 1:20,000 …
High-resolution morpho-bathymetry of Pozzuoli Bay, southern Italy
We present the results of a detailed bathymetric survey of Pozzuoli Bay (Gulf of Naples, Italy). This shallow marine area, along with the Campi Flegrei inland, is a highly active volcanic district in the coastal zone of SW Italy. The area has been active since at least 78 ka B.P., and is structurally dominated by a caldera collapse (∼8 km in diameter) associated with the eruption of the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (NYT), a 30–50 km3 dense rock equival…
High-resolution morpho-bathymetry of the Gulf of Naples, Eastern Tyrrhenian Sea
We present a high-resolution bathymetric map of the Gulf of Naples (Italy), which is surrounded by the two main volcanic complexes of Mt. Somma-Vesuvius and Phlegrean Fields. The morphology is obtained from swath bathymetric in a Digital Terrain Model with a 5 m grid cell size. Bathymetric data display the main seafloor morphologies with a resolution never obtained before. These morphologies include the Ammontatura and Dohrn Canyons, the Penta Pa…
Morphotectonics of the Gorringe Bank summit, eastern Atlantic Ocean, based on high-resolution multibeam bathymetry
Pattern and rate of post-20 ka vertical tectonic motion around the Capo Vaticano Promontory (W Calabria, Italy) based on offshore geomorphological indicators
Multi-resolution morpho-bathymetric survey results at the Pozzuoli–Baia underwater archaeological site (Naples, Italy)
The use of high-resolution elevation histograms for mapping submerged terraces
Quaternary still-stand landforms and relations with flank instability events of the Palinuro Bank (southeastern Tyrrhenian Sea)
