We present the results of a detailed bathymetric survey Pozzuoli Bay (Gulf Naples, Italy). This shallow marine area, along with Campi Flegrei inland, is highly active volcanic district in coastal zone SW Italy. The area has been since at least 78 ka B.P., and structurally dominated by caldera collapse (∼8 km diameter) associated eruption Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (NYT), 30–50 km3 dense rock equivalent (DRE) ignimbrite dated ∼15 B.P. main cartographic product consists 1:10,000 scale...
Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive geological and geotechnical study of the whole area affected by liquefaction following 2012 Emilia earthquakes, including all available information from field reconnaissance surveys, in situ tests, laboratory analyses. The compilation was performed at 120 liquefied sites to verify validate reliability charts alluvial sediments, assess induced seismic sequence plain. results reveal wide range grain sizes (from clean sands sandy silts) compositional...
Abstract A high-resolution (IKB-Seistec) seismic survey calibrated with gravity-core data, off the Amalfi coast, a rocky coastal area on southern side of Sorrento Peninsula (Italy), documents internal stratigraphic architecture series small fan-deltas that develop at mouth major bedrock streams. The fan-delta system mostly postdates Plinian eruption Vesuvius ad 79 and displays various phases development associated periods high sediment supply from adjacent river basins. During these...
Submarine canyons are geomorphologic lineaments engraving the slope/outer shelf of continental margins. These features often associated with significant geologic hazard when they develop close to densely populated coastal zones. The seafloor Naples Bay is deeply cut by two incisions characterized a dense network gullies, namely Dohrn and Magnaghi canyons, which from break Campania margin, down peripheral rise Eastern Tyrrhenian bathyal plain. Seismic-stratigraphic interpretation multichannel...
We present a long-range terrestrial laser scanner application for the geostructural mapping of Coroglio cliff, tuff rock face exposed along coastal zone Campi Flegrei, Napoli. The procedure includes several phases (geomorphological analysis, structural field survey, data acquisition and processing, 3-D model development classification discontinuity orientation 2-D vertical cartographic production). Field were processed with specific software dedicated to geometric analysis. Spatial managed...
Abstract Tsunami deposits present an important archive for understanding tsunami histories and dynamics. Most research in this field has focused on onshore preserved remains, while the offshore have received less attention. In 2009, during a coring campaign with Italian Navy Magnaghi , four 1 m long gravity cores (MG cores) were sampled from northern part of Augusta Bay, along transect 60 to 110 water depth. These taken same area where core (MS06) was collected 2007 about 2·3 km at depth 72...
Abstract Documentary source materials are essential for retrospective reconstruction of flood events occurring in past centuries. This paper presents methods research and archiving historical data from the 16th century to present. The quality completeness various original sources were evaluated carefully analysed their context, avoid serious mistakes. Systematic investigation about 3000 documents, mainly found national State Archives libraries, allows us identify localize at least 106 along...
The ad 79 Plinian eruption of Vesuvius that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum began with pumice falls deposited towards the SE volcano followed by pyroclastic currents directed SW. These reached rapidly entered sea, forming a fan. interpretation seismic reflection profiles gravity cores collected off documents submarine fan-shaped body at 10–140 m water depth we interpret as counterpart onshore current deposits. This fan, c . 0.3 km 3 in volume, displays chaotic facies changes seaward to...
We present the results of a sedimentological and mineralogical study conducted on 305 marine sediment samples (32 seafloor grab 273 subsea floor from 91 vibrocores) collected in area eastern Pozzuoli Bay, offshore Bagnoli, that has been site heavy industrial activity for more than century.The coastal (onland-offshore) Bagnoli–Coroglio recognised as contaminated Site National Interest (SNI) by Italian Ministry Environment (2000–2001) since then it subject series environmental studies have...
