The results of an integrated stratigraphic, structural, geophysical, and geochemical study reveal the presence a crustal discontinuity in western Sicily that, at present, runs roughly N-S along band from San Vito Lo Capo to Sciacca. boundary between two zones this is nearly orthogonal main thrust propagation Sicilian thrust-and-fold belt. different Permian Tertiary sedimentary evolution recorded by appears related discontinuity, with thick carbonate platforms sector facing deepwater...
The goal of this work was to test a methodology, based on multi-criteria analysis and geographic information systems, aimed at identifying areas potentially suitable host landfills for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Although the above-mentioned methodology applied three different (Western, South-western Eastern) Sicily, in paper, we present results western sector. first step consisted division study area excluded sites, basis Italian current legislation. sites were subsequently re-evaluated...

Abstract. Because of its high seismic hazard the urban area Oliveri has been subject first level microzonation. The town develops on a large coastal plain made mixed fluvial/marine sediments, overlapping complexly deformed substrate. In order to identify points probably suffering relevant site effects and define preliminary Vs subsurface model for microzonation, we performed 23 HVSR measurements. A clustering technique continuous signals used optimize calculation curves. 42 reliable peaks...
Abstract We present a thorough review of the knowledge on climate and environment in Sicily over last 20 000 years, taking into account results several studies carried using terrestrial marine records. obtain coherent framework most important changes succeeded island, even if some points need further investigation. All reconstructions surface temperatures seas air surrounding point out severe climatic conditions during glacial period. The steppe- semisteppe-like vegetation pattern testifies,...
Negli ultimi anni sono state proposte diverse ricostruzioni paleogeografiche dell'area Centro Mediterranea durante il Mesozoico.La Piattaforma Carbonatica Panormide (PCPA) viene collocata tra la Tetide Alpina e Ionica, in un'area geodinamicamente molto complessa. Recenti studi hanno documentato presenza di superfici discontinuità che caratterizzano l'evoluzione stratigrafica della PCPA rispetto alle adiacenti Piattaforme Carbonatiche Siciliane. La negli intervalli Retico-Hettangiano...
New biostratigraphic data, based on conodont investigations, were collected from the Ladinian limestones recently described at Sant’Otiero, a locality near Village of Petralia Sottana in Madonie Mountains (Central-Northern Sicily). At this new calcareous succession lying base major tectonic unit Maghrebian chain is described. This consists lower massive part formed by carbonate megabreccia, elements which are shallow water extraclasts with dasycladalean algae ( Diplopora annulatissima Pia),...
A recent field trip to Sicily and an examination of decapod crustacean collections at the Museo Geologico G.G. Gemmellaro in centre Palermo, (Italy), has demonstrated that most anomuran brachyuran material described by (Gemmellaro GG. 1869. Studi paleontologici sulla fauna del Calcare à Terebratula janitor nord di Sicilia. Palermo: Lao, vol. 1, pp. 11–18) from Tithonian island is still present. Interestingly, a single specimen this lot was never mentioned, or illustrated author. The species...
