This study presents the results of a Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) application aimed at characterizing structural pattern Punta Epitaffio tuffaceous coastal cliff, Pozzuoli Bay, Eastern Tyrrhenian margin. The site is located in Campi Flegrei, an active volcanic caldera, characterized by dense urbanization, near town Naples, Italy. 3D digital model cliff derived from TLS data, provided base for classification rock discontinuities geostatistical analysis. In particular, work flow...
Rapid evaluation of strong ground‐shaking maps after moderate‐to‐large earthquakes is crucial to recognizing those areas where the largest damage and losses are expected. These play a fundamental role for emergency management. This particularly important having high seismic risk potential covered by dense networks. In near‐real‐time applications, produced integrating recorded data estimates obtained using ground‐motion predictive equations, which assume point‐source models. However, large...
A temperature profile 2400 m along the off-shore active caldera of Campi Flegrei (Gulf Pozzuoli) was obtained by installation a permanent fiber-optic monitoring system within framework Innovative Monitoring for Coastal and Marine Environment (MON.I.C.A) project. The consists submerged, reinforced, multi-fiber cable containing six single-mode telecom grade optical fibers that, exploiting stimulated Brillouin scattering, provide distributed sensing (DTS) with 1 spatial resolution. data show...
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...
Campi Flegrei is an active volcanic district located along the Eastern Tyrrhenian continental margin, Italy, and worldwide known for dramatic ground deformation phenomena (bradyseism) recorded over last centuries. The purpose of this article to present annual rates fields (average velocity, average acceleration, combined velocity/acceleration) at Flegrei, during almost two decades (years 1993–2010). research work was conducted based on a temporal analysis advanced mapping Persistent...
Bagnoli-Coroglio is a Site of National Interest (SNI) facing the Pozzuoli Bay that has been place an industrial activity for more than century (1854-1985). The modern coastal geology this area results from recent evolution antecedent volcanic landscape originated after caldera collapse following eruption Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (NYT) Campi Flegrei (15 ka). After NYT eruption, shallow marine depression formed within underwent progressive filling-up, due to volcaniclastic sediment input...
High-resolution seismoacoustic data represent a useful tool for the investigations of gas-charged sediments occurring beneath seabed through identification diagnostic intrasedimentary features associated with them. Acoustic blanking revealed shallow gas pockets in seismostratigraphic units inner shelf off Northern Cilento promontory. Six main were recognized based on geological interpretation seismic profiles. Large pockets, reaching lateral extension 1 km, are concentrated at depocenter...
Very high-resolution, single channel (IKB-Seistec™) reflection profiles acquired offshore the Napoli Bay, complemented with geological and geophysical data from literature, provide unprecedented, superb seismic imaging of Latest Pleistocene-Holocene stratigraphic architecture submerged sectors Campi Flegrei Somma-Vesuvius volcanic districts.

The sedimentary dynamics and geological evolution of the Naples canyons during Late Quaternary have been studied based on sedimentological seismo-stratigraphic data. Several factors, including environments, tectonic setting, volcanic eruptions, controlled coastal marine areas Bay Naples. main data methods include analysis, techniques applied in interpretation seismic profiles, integrated analysis core that were previously published. formation Dohrn canyon is by fluvial processes, active...
A hazard assessment of the 1976 Guatemala earthquake (M = 7.5) was conducted to achieve a better definition seismic hazard. The based on environmental effects that had effectively contributed high destructive impact event. An interdisciplinary approach adopted by integrating: (1) historical data; (2) co-seismic geological in terms Environmental Seismic Intensity (ESI) scale intensity values; and (3) ground shaking data estimated probabilistic/deterministic approach. detailed analysis primary...
The relict (palimpsest and lowstand) deposits of the Cilento continental shelf were analyzed based on geological interpretation Sub-Bottom Chirp sections, calibrated with core data. A progradational unit, which is overlying acoustic basement, interpreted as beach isotopic stages 4 5. This unit overlain by a seismo-stratigraphic composed coarse-grained organogenic sands sands. consists sandy ridges, occurring at water depths ranging between 130 140 m, was an example submerged deposits,...
Abstract. Along the coastline of Phlegraean Fields volcanic district, near Naples (Italy), severe retreat processes affect a large part coastal cliffs, mainly made fractured tuff and pyroclastic deposits. Progressive fracturing deformation rocks can lead to hazardous sudden slope failures on cliffs. Among triggering mechanisms, most relevant are related meteorological factors, such as precipitation thermal expansion due solar heating rock surfaces. In this paper, we present database...
The depositional environments offshore of the Cilento Promontory have been reconstructed based on geological studies performed in frame marine mapping sheet n. 502 “Agropoli”. littoral environment (toe-of-coastal cliff deposits and submerged beach deposits), inner continental shelf (inner bioclastic outer (outer lowstand system tract Pleistocene relict units singled out. littoral, interpreted as highstand Late Quaternary sequence.

This study discusses the siliciclastic to bioclastic deposits (in particular, rhodolith deposits) in Gulf of Naples based on sedimentological and seismo-stratigraphic data. The selected areas are offshore Ischia Island (offshore Casamicciola, Channel), where a dense network sea-bottom samples has been collected, coupled with Sparker Multi-tip seismic lines, Procida–Pozzuoli (Procida available, addition profiles. basic methods applied this research include analysis, processing data, assessing...
Some seismo-stratigraphic evidence on the occurrence of wave-cut marine terraces in Licosa promontory (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) based Sub-bottom Chirp seismic sections is herein presented. Such provided by terraced surfaces situated at various water depths below sea level and etched into rocky acoustic basement, which are extensively extending seaward extension promontory. It possible that isotopic stratigraphy connected, so they can be attributed dated indirectly. The geologic study...
