Abstract The P o R iver B asin, where accumulation and preservation of thick sedimentary packages are enhanced by high rates tectonic subsidence, represents an ideal site to assess the relations between vertical changes in stratigraphic architecture sediment rates. Based on a large database, markedly contrasting stratigraphy L ate leistocene H olocene deposits is reconstructed from subsurface modern alluvial coastal plains. Laterally extensive fluvial channel bodies related pedogenically...
Samples rich in organic matter were collected from boreholes the southern part of Po Plain (Italy), a rapidly subsiding sedimentary basin. New 14 C dates, obtained these samples, and data literature allowed for evaluation rates natural subsidence area. These range 0 to 5 mm/yr. Most areas show around 1 2 The are comparable with burial archaeological data. interpreted terms long‐term (related tectonics geodynamics) short‐term (glacial cycle) processes. It is concluded that approximately 50%...
Integrated sedimentological and archaeological investigations of mid–late Holocene deposits from the subsurface Bologna elucidate complex relationship among urban settlement, human society, geomorphology climate change at southern margin Po Plain. Above Pleistocene–Holocene unconformity, succession forms an intricate mosaic alluvial deposits. Two palaeosols, spanning between about 8000–5000 cal. yr BP 3200–1500 BP, respectively, represent most prominent stratigraphic markers across study...
Palaeosol-based correlations within the Late Pleistocene-Holocene alluvial succession along Reno River, in southern Po Plain, enabled identification of depositional cycles falling sub-Milankovitch band. Each cycle, composed overbank and fluvial facies capped by poorly to weakly developed palaeosols, is correlatable upstream a single terrace River valley an individual channel belt close outlet. Four cycles, dated about 15-10 (c1), 10-5.5 (c2), 5.5-1.5 (c3)
Abstract. The analysis of the vertical movements soil in Po River plane Emilia-Romagna Region (Italy) was updated through an interferometric referred to 2011–2016 time-span. This activity is a continuation previous studies on state knowledge same area, analyzed firstly by levelling and GNSS more recently SAR interferometry for periods 1992–2000, 2002–2006, 2006–2011, behalf Region. survey area analysed approximately 13 300 km2, which corresponds territory regional plain. dataset calibrated...
This paper presents the methodology and results of local seismic analyses, performed in bank areas Po River (Lombardia Emilia-Romagna regions, northern Italy) characterized by highest hazard finalized for stability analyses banks themselves. The proposed includes following steps: collection pre-existing information geologic maps; deployment in-situ investigations collecting soil samples geotechnical laboratory tests; definition geologic-geophysical model; individuation expected inputs;...
Liquefaction-induced surface manifestations are the result of a complex geological–geotechnical phenomenon, driven by several controlling factors. We propose multidisciplinary methodological approach, involving engineering geologists, geomorphologists, sedimentologists, and geotechnical engineers, to build 3D geological model for liquefaction assessment studies. The study area is Cavezzo (Po Plain, Italy), which municipality hit superficial during Emilia seismic crisis May–June 2012. site...
Among the actions designed to manage water crisis that have taken place in summers of recent years southeastern part Emilia-Romagna Region, it has recently launched a trial managed aquifer recharge alluvial fan Marecchia river (Rimini), where annually are withdrawn about 28 million m3 water, 19 witch for drinking use. This test consists conveying into quarry lake, located area fan, an additional volume through channel. The increase should result rapid availability aquifers. To verify...
Abstract. Multiple processes contributing to natural land subsidence in a shallow coastal aquifer near Ravenna (Italy) were identified by analysing the relationships among different data set time series (water table level, rainfall, reclamation drainage, sea etc.) and establishing correlations with vertical ground motion observed at high-resolution settlement gauge. Our study highlights presence of three deformation components related controlling subsidence: elastic, delayed-elastic,...
