Abstract. A database (Italian acronym CEDIT) of earthquake-induced ground failures in Italy is presented, and the related content analysed. The catalogue collects data regarding landslides, liquefaction, cracks, surface faulting changes triggered by earthquakes Mercalli epicentral intensity 8 or greater that occurred last millennium Italy. As January 2013, CEDIT has been available online for public use (http://www.ceri.uniroma1.it/cn/gis.jsp ) presently hosted website Research Centre...
Abstract. We use various geophysical datasets (multibeam and singlebeam echosounder data, sub-bottom profiling Chirp sonar data very high-resolution boomer seismic data) along with published sedimentological depth from nautical charts in order to create models of the seafloor base Holocene marine sediment Gulf Trieste. The two are later used calculate thickness which has been depositing on Late Pleistocene alluvial plain since transgression Italian Slovenian parts gulf. Thicker sedimentary...
The integration of high-resolution seismic profiles, core data and radiocarbon plus U-Th datings, allows to document the late Quaternary succession Trieste Gulf, which represents easternmost part northern Adriatic Sea. This consists an alternation shallow-marine continental deposits organized compose four transgressive-regressive sequences down ca. 90 m below present sea level. terminate landwards against a stepped surface bounding Eocene Flysch produced by alternating episodes wave erosion...
The continental slope and rise seaward of the Totten Glacier Sabrina Coast, East Antarctica features margin depositional systems with high sediment input consistent along-slope current activity. Understanding their genesis is a necessary step in interpreting paleoenvironmental records they contain. Geomorphic mapping using systematic multibeam survey shows variations roles downslope along transport influenced by broad-scale topography oceanography. study area contains two areas distinct...
Abstract The intrusion of relatively warm water onto the continental shelf is widely recognized as a threat to Antarctic ice shelves and glaciers grounded below sea level, enhanced ocean heat increases their basal melt. While circulation has been documented on East shelf, modes transport from deep are still uncertain. This makes predicting future responses major marine-grounded glaciers, such Totten Ninnis particularly challenging. Here, we outline key role submarine canyons convey southward...
The intrusion of relatively warm Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) onto the Antarctic continental shelf is widely recognized as a threat to ice shelves and glaciers grounded below sea level, enhanced ocean heat increases their basal melt. CDW incursion currently causing mass loss, thinning extensive grounding line retreat Totten Glacier (Sabrina Coast), which drains one vastest East subglacial basin complexes, Aurora-Sabrina basin, holds more than 3.5 m Sea Level Equivalent (SLE). Another stream,...
ABSTRACT We present the results of a seismic survey on an open‐system pingo, Innerhytta located in Adventdalen Valley, Spitsbergen Island Svalbard Archipelago, Norway. To evaluate temporal evolution permafrost, we need detailed knowledge its heterogeneities, which pingos are most visible markers. The velocity contrasts and inversions peculiar to these features can be problem for successful survey. paper focusses limits benefits various methods imaging subsurface structure with aim defining...
Abstract Analysis of multichannel seismic profiles collected on the continental rise off Sabrina Coast, East Antarctica, has allowed determination acoustic features that are indicative major evolution steps Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) and highlights role meltwater originated from Totten Glacier in shaping margin architecture. The arrival marine-terminating glaciers into coastal region was recorded by an enhanced sediment input nucleation channel-levees. Downslope sedimentary processes were...
Here, we explore the complex seabed morphologies of Gulf Taranto in southern Italy including their connection to geodynamic evolution region that began during Neogene period when Adria plate started subducting beneath retreating Calabrian arc. We compiled first Maps Geohazard Features through comprehensive and collaborative high-resolution surveys, integrating regional multibeam sonar sub-bottom profiling. Our findings indicate most significant marine geohazards identified are (i) headwall...

Abstract The southern Tyrrhenian continental margin is the product of Pliocene–Recent back-arc extension. An area approximately 30 km 2 gentle (about 1.5°) lower slope last glacial outer shelf sedimentary wedge in water depths between 200 and 300 m failed 14 11 ka BP. We approached landslide by multibeam sub-bottom profiler surveying, high-resolution multichannel seismics, coring for stratigraphic geotechnical purposes. With regard to a slope-stability analysis, we carried out an assessment...
Abstract Background Methanotrophy by the sponge-hosted microbiome has been mainly reported in ecological context of deep-sea hydrocarbon seep niches where methane is either produced geothermically or via anaerobic methanogenic archaea inhabiting sulfate-depleted sediments. However, methane-oxidizing bacteria from candidate phylum Binatota have recently described and shown to be present oxic shallow-water marine sponges, sources remain undescribed. Results Here, using an integrative -omics...
