Pockmarks, seafloor depressions, provide valuable insights into subsurface fluid migration and geological processes, representing a critical factor in morphological evolution. This study investigates the distribution morphology of pockmarks Northwestern Sicily offshore (Sicily Straits) by integrating 2D seismic reflection profiles, multibeam bathymetric data, advanced analytical techniques. Our primary aim is to discriminate actively degassing examine their spatial relationships with...
Estimating the accurate position of shoreline over time can be challenging. We propose a new approach to delimit from remotely sensed images simply and accurately. This treats pixels as simultaneous radiometric measurements and, by examining distance between iso-radiometry lines, assumes in where behavior changes more suddenly. The analyses conducted applying this coastline extraction underscore its significant flexibility. Specifically, yields promising outcomes even if applied variety...
Abstract The northwestern region of the Sicily Channel hosts a great number morphological highs, widest which is Adventure Plateau that part Sicilian Maghrebian Fold and Thrust Belt system, formed since Neogene. was shaped in Early Pliocene by an extensional phase produced high-angle normal faults mostly WNW-ESE to N-S oriented. Through these faults, magmatic fluids ascended widespread volcanic manifestations often associated fluid flow processes. interpretation multibeam echosounder,...
Shoreline variations, triggered by climate change, eustatism, and tectonic, drive the coastal landscape evolution over multiple spatial temporal scales. Among many different existing coast types, sandy coasts are most sensitive to erosion accretion processes and, at same time, often host valuable anthropogenic assets. The rapid ongoing of these environments poses challenges for their management, necessitating cost-effective highly reliable methods measuring changes. Many remotely sensed...
The Mediterranean Basin is characterized by a significant variability in tectonic behaviour, ranging from subsidence to uplifting. However, those coastal areas considered be tectonically stable show landforms at elevations consistent with eustatic and isostatic sea level change models. In particular, geomorphological indicators—such as tidal notches or shore platforms—are often used define the stability of coasts. We present results swim surveys nine rocky sectors central Sea using Geoswim...

A seismo-tectonic map depicting the principal structural elements of northern Central American region has been meticulously crafted to characterize tectonic setting and individual structures this area. This is subject heightened seismic activity, with a large number medium-high Magnitude occurrences transpiring annually. presented alongside an informative dataset wherein fault trace locations, geometry kinematics descriptors other available metadata have stored. Therefore, offers detailed...
<p>The Mediterranean basin displays a variety of neotectonics scenarios leading to positive or negative vertical displacement, which change the position former coastlines. As result, best locations evaluate sea levels and validate sea-level models are tectonically stable areas. There number coastal areas considered be based on elevation paleo markers, absence historical seismicity, by their far from major faults. We report here results swim surveys carried out at such following...
