The Ligurian Sea is a deep basin in the northernmost sector of western Mediterranean which shows peculiar hydrodynamic and meteo-oceanographic features. coasts are among most urbanised industrialised along Italian coastline: main causes disturbance being littoral urban development harbour activities, building rail- highways, presence several polluted discharges. This review, by evaluating huge scientific output published last three decades, describes discusses important geological,...
This study analyzed the impact of meteorological variables and high-lethality suicide attempts (HLSA) to assess a potential time shift HLSA affected by climate evolution predict attempt cases over different periods year. After attempting suicide, 225 subjects were admitted emergency ward IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino later psychiatric unit from March 2016 July 2018. Socio-demographic clinical characteristics as well collected. The Mann-Kendall test redundancy cross-correlation...
Environmental contamination is ubiquitous and even in the ocean, signs of different types (chemical, biological, or plastic) are detected all kinds environments. In this study, a sediment core was sampled at bottom Blue Hole Maldives (Ari Atoll) to make first characterization terms its grain size organic–inorganic matter composition assess levels trace elements (by ICP-MS analysis) eventual presence microplastics optical classification microRaman analysis items).

<p>At 01:36 UTC (03:36 local time) on August 24th 2016, an earthquake Mw 6.0 struck extensive sector of the central Apennines (coordinates: latitude 42.70° N, longitude 13.23° E, 8.0 km depth). The caused about 300 casualties and severe damage to historical buildings economic activity in area located near borders Umbria, Lazio, Abruzzo Marche regions.

The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most impacted basins in terms microplastics pollution. Land-based activities are major sources plastic litter to ocean, with harbors probably representing significant hotspots. In framework SPlasH! project (Stop alle Plastiche H2O, Interreg Marittimo project), were sampled three north-western during summer and winter. this study, areal concentrations ranged from 5576 379,965 items·km−2. A decreasing gradient was observed inner outer zones studied harbors,...
Plastic floating on the ocean surface represents about 1 % of all plastic in ocean, despite buoyancy most plastics. Biofouling can help to sink debris, which could explain this discrepancy. A set laboratory experiments was conducted investigate biofilm-induced effects different debris. Ten materials densities (buoyant/non-buoyant), sizes (micro/meso/macro), and shapes (irregular/spherical/cylindrical/flat), including facemasks cotton swabs, were evaluated. Biofilm incubated these from a few...
The Costa Concordia cruise-ship disaster occurred just off the coast of Italy on January 13th, 2012, and entailed largest marine salvage operation in history. employed vessels from different European harbours, providing an unexpected means for transporting alien species into Mediterranean. In this work we identified mussel using fragments length polymorphism a nuclear locus report first evidence transport blue mussel, Mytilus edulis Linnaeus, 1758 (Bivalvia: Mollusca), Mediterranean Sea, as...
Abstract In this work we report the ongoing characterization of Sos Enattos former mine (Sardinia, Italy), one two candidate sites for Einstein Telescope (ET), European third-generation underground interferometric detector Gravitational Waves. The site lies on a crystalline basement, made rocks with good geomechanical properties, characterized by negligible groundwater. addition, has very low seismic background noise due to absence active tectonics involving Sardinia. Finally, area...
SUMMARY To constrain seismic anisotropy under and around the Alps in Europe, we study SKS shear wave splitting from region densely covered by AlpArray network. We apply a technique based on measuring intensity, constraining well both fast orientation delay. Four years of teleseismic earthquake data were processed, 723 temporary permanent broad-band stations deployment including ocean-bottom seismometers, providing spatial coverage that is unprecedented. The applied automatically (without...
<p>We have analyzed the recent seismicity of Mt. Vesuvius, with particular emphasis on period 1999-2012. Since 1972 continuous observations electromagnetic seismometers allowed compilation a detailed earthquake catalogue for station OVO. Furthermore since 1999 another, more complete, BKE, closer to crater, is available. The Gutenberg-Richter distribution magnitudes shows temporal decrease b-value 1985, current values close 1.0. pattern strain release non-stationary behavior periods...
