We are witnessing a digital revolution in geoscientific field data collection and sharing, driven by the availability of low-cost sensory platforms capable generating accurate surface reconstructions as well proliferation apps repositories which can leverage their products. Whilst wider 3D close-range remote sensing applications is welcome, improved accessibility often at expense model accuracy. To test accuracy consumer-grade acquisition commonly employed for geo-documentation, we have...

Structural highs formed during the extensional tectonics of Mesozoic rifting phase, represent important petroleum systems in Italy and hold potential for geothermal energy exploitation geofluid storage. These structural highs, commonly exposed Southern Alps, Northern Apennines, or buried beneath Po Plain foredeep, were generally overprinted by later tectonic phases. Specifically, compressional associated with Alpine orogeny since Eocene often mask original structure mesozoic highs. The...

Geotagged smartphone photos can be employed to build digital terrain models using structure from motion-multiview stereo (SfM-MVS) photogrammetry. Accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope sensors integrated within consumer-grade smartphones used record the orientation of images, which combined with location information provided by inbuilt global navigation satellite system (GNSS) geo-register SfM-MVS model. The accuracy these is, however, highly variable. In this work, we use a 200 m-wide...

Abstract The San Potito area in central Apennines (Italy), enclosed within the Latium‐Abruzzi carbonate platform, exposes anomalously pelagic carbonates filling an intraplatform basin formed during Jurassic rifting. Oriented obliquely to regional NW‐SE trend of Cenozoic thrusts and extensional faults, basin's eastern boundary fault system, striking N‐S, played a pivotal role structuring orogenic post‐orogenic features. Large tracts experienced double reactivation: positive inversion Miocene...

Zones of advanced argillic alteration with general low permeability (i.e., lithocaps) are common place in the shallow parts porphyry and epithermal ore deposits active geothermal systems. The study structural control on distributions is paramount importance for exploitation purposes as it really influences caprock efficiency. We present results a structural-mineralogical carried out lithocap Allumiere-Tolfa system (Northern Apennines). characterized composition, textures physical properties...

Multi-scale fracture characterisation in reservoir analogues is crucial for determining orientation clustering, length scaling laws, abundance, and topology of the network, all which are essential modelling flow geofluids. In this study, we examine application Bing Maps imagery network analysis Kuh-e-Asmari anticline (Zagros Mountains, Iran), a scarcely vegetated area good outcropping analogue fractured reservoirs. Image-derived conducted at three distinct scales (1:50,000, 1:5,000 1:500)...

Dysgraphia has been observed in patients presenting mild to moderate levels of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) several studies. In the present study, 30 AD and matched healthy controls, originating from Lazio region, Rome, Italy, were examined on tests letter-writing ability cognitive performance over a series 10 test days that extended 19 (Test days: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 11, 13, 15, 17, 19). Consistent deficits by initial cognition (PQ1), 2nd (PQ2) difference between them (D∆), expressing deterioration,...

Abstract During earthquakes, fault rupture can involve multiple segments in synchronous or cascade mechanisms, leading to an increasing magnitude of the mainshock rate aftershocks. Since seismogenic portions faults are inaccessible, studying geometrical and mechanical interaction between exhumed contribute understanding multisegment earthquake scenarios at depth. We investigated a segmented active normal system Campo Felice area (central Italian Apennines), where scarps well exposed. In this...

Abstract Bedding-perpendicular joints striking parallel (longitudinal) and perpendicular (transverse) to both the axis of hosting anticline trend foredeep-belt system are widely recognized in fold-and-thrust belts. Their occurrence has been commonly attributed folding-related processes, such as syn-folding outer-arc extension, although they can also be consistent with a pre-folding foredeep-related fracturing stage. Here we report fracture pattern affecting Pietrasecca Anticline, central...

The characterisation of the fracture network is a fundamental step for modelling circulation different types geofluids at multiple scales, including reservoir scale. Due to difficulty sampling with spatial continuity, networks are often derived from stochastic approach applied ground truth parametrized datasets. Classical field methods collecting and analysing data sets (i.e., scan-lines or scan-areas) have limited sample area results might be affected by local factors (e.g., facies...
