  • Geohazard features of the Southern Apulia

    Open AccessElisabetta Campiani, Cesare Corselli et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2025

    The article illustrates the Maps of Geohazard features of the Southern Apulia produced by the Magic project in 2007-2013. Extensive multi-beam surveys and ancillary chirp-sonar profiles allowed characterisation of the seafloor and shallow sub-surface structures. The area presents a narrow continental shelf dominated by widespread erosion and by the presence of scattered fields of large bedforms, and a steep slope dissected by narrow and short can…

  • Geohazard features of the Eastern Sicily

    Open AccessFrancesco Latino Chiocci, Andrea Argnani et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2025

    Eastern Sicily is characterised by fast tectonic uplift, intricate GPS-derived velocity fields, and significant seismic activity. Mount Etna, the largest subaerial active volcano in Europe, dominates the landscape, influencing the development of large-scale instability processes on the facing continental margin. South of Etna, the Malta Escarpment discloses crustal thinning, with active tectonics, extensional faults, and half grabens. Indications…

  • Geohazard features of the Eastern Sardinia

    Open AccessFabiano Gamberi, Michael Marani et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2024

    The MaGIC project (Marine Geohazard along the Italian Coasts) had the aim of mapping the geohazard in the Italian seas and resulted in numerous maps. In this paper, we present the maps: ‘Maps of Geohazard features of the eastern Sardinian Margin’. The Eastern Sardinia margin has mainly a narrow shelf, which reaches a width of 20 km only to the north. At the base-of-slope, a series of intra-slope basins sits in the structural depressions formed du…

  • Geohazard features of the Aeolian Island slopes and the North-Eastern Sicily offshore

    Open AccessFabiano Gamberi, Daniele Casalbore et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2024

    The MaGIC project (Marine Geohazard along the Italian Coasts) had the aim of mapping the geohazard in the Italian seas and resulted in the production of numerous maps covering parts of the Italian Seas. In this paper, we present the maps: ‘The submerged portions of the Aeolian volcanic islands and the north-eastern Sicilian margin’, located in the south-eastern Tyrrhenian Sea. Both areas are affected by active geological processes, which represen…

  • Geohazard features of the Central-Southern Tyrrhenian seamounts

    Open AccessMichael Marani, Fabiano Gamberi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2024

    The Magic project (MArine Geohazard along Italian Coasts), a large coordinated initiative that involved the whole marine geological research community in Italy in 2007–2013, produced a series of maps of the Geohazard features of the Central-Southern Tyrrhenian Seamounts. The features derive from multibeam surveys and therefore mainly rely on the morphological expression of seafloor and shallow sub-surface processes and events. Potential geohazard…

  • Geohazard features of the Central Apulia

    Open AccessElisabetta Campiani, Fabio Trincardi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2024

    The study area, mapped in the frame of the Magic project (MArine Geohazard along Italian Coasts) encompasses a complex continental slope characterised by a variety of extensive mass-transport deposits, seafloor-dissecting faults (Gondola deformation belt), and the deeply incised Bari Canyon System. Numerous fields of large-scale bedforms, and associated erosional features, record the impact of salt-rich contour-parallel and cold downslope-cascadi…
