ABSTRACT This study presents a detailed 3D lithofacies model of the Upper Pleistocene–Holocene Tiber Depositional Sequence (TDS) within alluvial plain Rome, Italy, developed using an integrated approach. A deterministic framework was used to establish 1D constraints, while geostatistical algorithms, particularly indicator kriging, were employed reconstruct stacking patterns and interfingering systems tracts. methodology allows for realistic depiction depositional trends stratigraphic...
Abstract The Late Pleistocene/Holocene Tiber delta succession represents the most recent and one of best preserved, high‐frequency/low‐rank depositional sequences developed along Latium continental margin Italian peninsula. Several previous studies have established a robust data set from which it has been possible to describe stratigraphic architecture entire sequence landward seaward sectors over distance 60 km. shows many characteristics found in other Pleistocene Holocene deltaic coastal...
A 1:5,000 scale geological map and 31 cross-sections are presented for the surroundings of Amatrice village (central Apennines, Italy), epicentral area first damaging earthquake 2016–2017 seismic sequence. This detailed dataset focuses on: (i) extent, thickness, internal stratigraphic architecture Quaternary continental deposits; (ii) bedding thickness Miocene substratum; (iii) spatial distribution main fault systems. The provided would update available regional maps in deciphering...
Abstract Numerical simulations of seismic site response require the characterization nonlinear behaviour shallow subsoil. When extensive evaluations are concern, as in case microzonation studies, funding problems prevent from systematic use laboratory tests to provide detailed evaluations. For this purpose, 485 shear modulus reduction, G\G 0 ( γ ) and damping ratio, D( curves were collected multiple literature sources available Italy. Each curve was associated with related engineering...
This paper describes the contents of new Hydrogeological Map City Rome (1:50,000 scale). The map extends to entire municipality (1285 km2) and is based on both most recent scientific studies groundwater field survey activities carried out in order fill data gaps several areas examined territory. result a combination different urban expertise Geographic Information System (GIS)-based mapping performed using available has been produced with intention furnishing updated information regarding...
Rainstorm-induced landslides are a widespread geomorphological hazard that can lead to major emergencies, causing severe damage life and property. Due the extent of areas usually affected by these phenomena (up thousands km2) and/or their typical high areal density, in early stages emergency it be useful reconstruct comprehensive, albeit preliminary, overview landslides. With this aim, work we provide an outline occurred eastern part Emilia-Romagna region (northern Italy) after two...
The Campi Flegrei area, located in southern Italy, is characterized by complex geological stratigraphy and elevate seismic volcanic risks, exacerbated ongoing bradyseismic phenomena.This region, a densely populated context, poses significant challenges for hazard assessment due to its complexity, frequent activity the vulnerability of infrastructuresThe recently recorded swarms, including those 2023, further highlight need accurate subsurface characterization assess mitigate risks.In this...
Abstract. In 2012, the Emilia-Romagna region (Italy) was struck by a seismic crisis characterized two main shocks (ML 5.9 and 5.8) which triggered relevant liquefaction events. Terre del Reno is one of municipalities that experienced most extensive effects due to its complex geostratigraphic geomorphological setting. This area indeed located in floodplain lenticular fluvial channel bodies associated with crevasse levee clay–sand alternations, related paleo-Reno River. Therefore, it chosen as...
Abstract This study reports a high‐resolution micromorphological characterization of floodplain deposits to investigate the relationships among compositional, textural and geotechnical data, integrate soil micromorphology with sequence stratigraphy. Compositional facies associations features are calibrated against parameters. The latter, obtained from cone penetration pocket penetrometer tests borehole advanced 60 m into Tiber channel belt floodplain, show that depositional post‐depositional...
Geological models are very useful tools for developing conceptual schemes owing to their capacity optimize the management of stratigraphic information. This is particularly true in areas where archaeological heritage exposed hydrogeological hazards; 3D can constitute first step toward construction numerical created understand processes and plan mitigation actions improve visitor safety preserve heritage. paper illustrates results a hydrostratigraphic model site Colosseum Central...
ABSTRACT This article focuses on the full exploitation of geological and economically viable geophysical surveys for seismic characterization shallow subsoil in frame microzonation studies urban areas where economic resources detailed response analyses are scarce. In these conditions, outcomes inexpensive (e.g., based ambient vibration monitoring or surface-wave prospecting) must be fully exploited. To reduce uncertainties related to kinds procedures, their joint interpretation light...
In this note the seismic microzonation of level 1 historic center Rome is presented. After a description subsoil model, which primarily defined in terms lithotypes and associated shear wave velocities, results ambient noise measurements are presented fundamental frequencies identified whole studied area. Finally, homogeneous microzones perspective described, relation to amplification slope instability, compared with damages from events.
This work aims to describe, classify, and analyze the occurrence of selected natural multi-hazards, specifically pluvial floods sinkholes, affecting a district in urban area Rome, Italy. The procedure is based on robust geological, geomorphological, hydrogeological analysis performed using data collected archived for scope. susceptibility calculated geo-hydrological geomorphological factors, as well flooding sinkholes. areas prone each single hazard were combined put into context...
The phenomenon of liquefaction is nowadays sufficiently understood in terms phenomenology and predisposing conditions. However, a better assessment risk necessary to mitigate its effects guide land-use planning choices, particularly the context post-earthquake reconstruction.This evidence comes from some recent events (e.g., New Zealand, 2010-2011; Emilia-Romagna 2012; Palu, 2018), which induced were, instances, considerably more severe than expected. This case Terre del Reno (Emilia-Romagna...
