A high‐resolution pelagic bulk carbonate stable isotope record from a central Tethyan lower Cretaceous composite section is presented. Three well‐exposed sedimentary sequences (Chiaserna Monte Acuto, Bosso, and Gorgo Cerbara sections, Italy) cropping out throughout the Maiolica Formation were correlated by detailed magnetostratigraphy, lithostratigraphy, calcareous plankton biostratigraphy in order to reconstruct continuous middle Berriasian Aptian. The integrated stratigraphy of three...
The calcareous nannofossil assemblages of Ocean Drilling Program Hole 963D from the central Mediterranean Sea have been investigated to document oceanographic changes in surface waters. studied site is located an area sensitive large‐scale atmospheric and climatic systems high‐ low‐latitude climate connection. It characterized by a high sedimentation rate (the achieved mean sampling resolution <70 years) that allowed Sicily Channel environmental be examined great detail over last 12 ka...
[1] This study analyzes coccolithophore abundance fluctuations (e.g., Emiliania huxleyi, Gephyrocapsa specimens, and Florisphaera profunda) in core MD01-2444 sediment strata retrieved at the Iberian Margin, northeastern Atlantic Ocean. Coccolithophores are calcareous nannofossils, a major component of oceanic phytoplankton, which provide information about past ecological climatological variability. Results supported by data on fossil organic compounds (sea surface temperatures, alkenones,...
Abstract A high‐resolution integrated study has been performed in a super‐expanded marine record (sedimentation rate spanning from 11 cm/100 years to 20 years) the continental shelf area of southeastern Tyrrhenian Sea. Planktonic foraminiferal distribution illustrates 6 major environmental changes during past 2000 years: (i) Roman Period–Dark Age transition (from herbivorous‐opportunistic carnivorous species); (ii) Dark Age–MCA (iii) Medieval Classic Anomaly–Little Ice (a further and...
In the framework of GeoGrid project, with specific goal to look for shallow geothermal resources suitable test developed technologies, Agnano field, a relatively unexplored sector eastern Campi Flegrei caldera, was investigated through multidisciplinary geophysical, stratigraphic and hydro-chemical surveys. Such approach allows us reconstruct subsurface morphology below Hyppodrome (AH), interpreted by gravimetric, seismic data, as complex structure characterized gradual southward...
Abstract. The Little Ice Age (LIA) is the last episode of a series Holocene climatic anomalies. There still little knowledge on response marine environment to pronounced cooling LIA and transition towards 20th century global warming. Here we present decadal-scale coccolithophore data from four short cores recovered central Mediterranean Sea (northern Sicily Channel Tyrrhenian Sea), which basis 210Pb activity span 200–350 years. lowermost part record one Channel, Station 407, extends down...
ABSTRACT This study focuses on Pleistocene–Holocene sediments from the Shatsky Rise (Ocean Drilling Program Site 1209B, NW Pacific Ocean). We quantify contribution of calcite made by coccoliths in oceanic sediments, investigating role calcareous nannoplankton during last 450 ka. Coccolith carbonate constitutes 60–90% bulk carbonate. accumulation rates (CARs) and CaCO 3 fine fraction confirm that coccolithophores are major contributors to export accumulation. Primary productivity shows...
Coastal areas worldwide are the result of a weak balance between man and natural environment. They exposed to strong anthropogenic pressure hazard events whose intensity has increased in recent decades. In this frame, satellite drone monitoring systems as well field survey key tools learn about factors responsible for coastal changes. Here we describe formation dismantling fan delta at Sfalassà Stream mouth, Calabria Region (Southern Italy) shed light on environmental drivers modelling...
In this paper we present a correlation between volcanic structures and magnetic anomalies in the Gulf of Naples (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea) based on high resolution profiling. A densely spaced grid profiles coupled with multichannel seismics (seismic source Watergun 15 cubic inch) was recorded Naples, representing an active area during Late Quaternary (volcanic centers Somma-Vesuvius, Phlegraean Fields Ischia Procida islands). The dataset collected oceanographic cruise GMS00-05 which took...
