The main objectives of the KM3NeT Collaboration are (i) discovery and subsequent observation high-energy neutrino sources in Universe (ii) determination mass hierarchy neutrinos. These strongly motivated by two recent important discoveries, namely: (1) astrophysical signal reported IceCube (2) sizable contribution electron neutrinos to third eigenstate as Daya Bay, Reno others. To meet these objectives, plans build a new Research Infrastructure consisting network deep-sea telescopes...
Abstract A cumulative frequency-magnitude relation, the Gutenberg–Richter law, dominates statistics of occurrence earthquakes. Although it is an empirical some authors have tried to give physical meaning its a and b parameters. Here, we recall theoretical expressions for probability earthquake with magnitude M in terms values. direct consequence maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) entropy principle (MEP) that values can be expressed as function mean seismic sequence over certain area. We...
Increasing interest in the acquisition of biotic and abiotic resources from within deep sea (e.g. fisheries, oil-gas extraction, mining) urgently imposes development novel monitoring technologies, beyond traditional vessel-assisted, time-consuming, high-cost sampling surveys. The implementation permanent networks seabed water-column cabled (fixed) docked mobile platforms is presently enforced, to cooperatively measure biological features environmental (physico-chemical) parameters. Video...
Teleseismic traveltime data, recorded by temporary ocean bottom seismographs deployed in Tyrrhenian Sea around the Aeolian Islands (Tyrrhenian Deep‐sea Experiment (TYDE)), have been used for first time Italy to refine 3‐D model deep P wave velocity structure of southern subduction zone. The arrival times 35 teleseisms combined with those Italian National Network. In order obtain a more complete azimuthal coverage teleseismic rays, 80 events land stations from 1990 2002 included data set....
<?Pub Dtl=""?> The NEutrino Mediterranean Observatory—Submarine Network 1 (NEMO-SN1) seafloor observatory is located in the central Sea, Western Ionian off Eastern Sicily (Southern Italy) at 2100-m water depth, 25 km from harbor of city Catania. It a prototype cabled deep-sea multiparameter and first one operating with real-time data transmission Europe since 2005. NEMO-SN1 also first-established node European Multidisciplinary Seafloor Observatory (EMSO), incoming large-scale research...
In recent years, an increasing number of surveys have definitively confirmed the seasonal presence fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) in highly productive regions Mediterranean Sea. Despite this, very little is yet known about routes that species seasonally follows within basin and, particularly, Ionian area. The present study assesses for first time whale acoustic offshore Eastern Sicily (Ionian Sea), throughout processing 10 months continuous monitoring. recording vocalizations was made...
Gas seepages along the Ionian coast of northwestern Peloponnesus (Greece), at Killini, Katakolo, and Kaiafas reflect deep hydrocarbon-generation processes represent a real hazard for humans buildings. Methane microseepage, gas concentration in offshore onshore vents, dissolved water springs, including isotopic analysis methane, have shown that seeps are caused by thermogenic methane had accumulated Mesozoic limestone migrated upward through faults, or zones weakness, induced salt diapirism....
This paper deals with a new emerging science the "Seafloor Observatory Science".It is evolved rapidly over last two decades by means of projects and programmes towards establishment permanent underwater networks.The main on-going initiatives at global scale are presented for Canada (NEPTUNE -North East Pacific Time-series Underwater Networked Experiments), USA (OOI -Ocean Observatories Initiative), Japan (DONET -Dense Oceanfloor Network system Earthquakes Tsunamis), Taiwan (MACHO -Marine...
Acoustic noise levels were measured in the Gulf of Catania (Ionian Sea) from July 2012 to May 2013 by a low frequency (< 1000 Hz) hydrophone, installed on board NEMO-SN1 multidisciplinary observatory. is cabled node EMSO-ERIC, which was deployed at water depth 2100 m, 25 km off Catania. The study area characterized proximity mid-size harbors and shipping lanes. Measured correlated with passage ships tracked dedicated AIS antenna. Noise power range between 10 Hz Hz. Experimental data compared...
Data collected from 1996 to 2001 down 3,500 m in the Tyrrhenian sub‐basin with ship‐handled and moored instruments show 5‐year T S trends (0.016 °C/yr, 0.008/yr) that are largest ever evidenced Mediterranean deep waters. This is not consistent usual hypothesis Deep Water (TDW) a mixture of eastern water flowing Sicily Channel western Sardinia partly since both reported encounter lower trends. We argue TDW might result dense formation process occurring within itself, region never up now, east...

Multichannel reflection seismic data were acquired south of the Salento peninsula, in an area where crustal seismicity has been recorded. Seismic profiles show presence small grabens bounded by extensional faults with NW-SE direction. These are filled Plio-Quaternary sediments and represent prolongation located onshore peninsula. Outer arc extension due to flexuring Adriatic-Apulian lithosphere under double load Hellenides Apennines-Calabrian is thought have originated these grabens. The...
Seafloor long-term, multiparameter, single-frame observatories have been developed within the framework of European Commission and Italian projects since 1995. A fleet five seafloor observatories, built-up starting from 1995 an effective synergy among research institutes industries, carried out a series long-term sea experiments. The are able to operate shallow waters deep sea, down 4,000 m w.d., simultaneously monitor broad spectrum geophysical environmental processes, including seismicity,...
Episodic gas seepage occurs at the seafloor in Gulf of Izmit (Sea Marmara, NW Turkey) along submerged segment North Anatolian Fault (NAF), which ruptured during 1999 Mw7.4 earthquake, and caused tectonic loading fault front Istanbul metropolitan area. In order to study seismic energy release NAF, a multiparametric benthic observatory (SN-4) was deployed gulf western end earthquake rupture, operated for about 1 yr 166 m water depth. The SN-4 payload included three-component broad-band...
Marine ecosystems are vital for life on Earth. Global change is progressing rapidly, and geo-hazards, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions tsunamis, cause large losses of have massive worldwide socio-economic impacts. Enhancing our marine environmental monitoring prediction capabilities will increase ability to respond adequately major challenges efficiently operate early-warning systems.
