Abstract Coastal systems are among the most studied, vulnerable, and economically important ecosystems on Earth; nevertheless, little attention has been paid, so far, to consequences of human activities shallow sea-floor these environments. Here, we present a quantitative assessment effects actions floor tidal channels from Venice Lagoon using 2500 kilometres full coverage multibeam bathymetric mapping. Such extended dataset provides unprecedented evidence pervasive impacts, which extend far...
The Istituto di Scienze Marine (ISMAR-CNR) has conducted several research projects on the Italian side of Adriatic Sea over more than 15 years, collecting bathymetric, geophysical and sediment core data to perform multidisciplinary studies modern dynamics past environmental changes during last eustatic cycle. A crucial step in this direction was construction a detailed bathymetry, time-consuming task due extensive shallow water portion basin. Given setting long-lasting effort, bathymetric...
Abstract Tidal channels are crucial for the functioning of wetlands, though their morphological properties, which relevant seafloor habitats and flow, have been understudied so far. Here, we release a dataset composed Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) extracted from total 2,500 linear kilometres high-resolution multibeam echosounder (MBES) data collected in 2013 covering entire network tidal inlets Venice Lagoon, Italy. The comprises also backscatter (BS) data, reflect acoustic properties...
The south Adriatic shelf offshore of the predominently carbonate Apulian coast is characterized by a peculiar rough topography interpreted as relic karst formed at time lower sea level.The study area covers surface about 220 km 2 , with depths ranging from 50 to 105 m.The most relevant and diagnostic features are circular depressions few tens 150 m in diameter 0.50 20 deep thought be dolines various stages evolution.The major doline, Oyster Pit, has its top water depth deep.It partly filled...
This study presents novel findings on the Pliocene and Quaternary evolution of Gela Basin (Strait Sicily, Mediterranean Sea), an area recording interaction between tectonics, climate change at Milankovitch sub-Milankovitch timescales, dynamic water masses exchange eastern western Sea. The calibration seismic profiles with exploration boreholes allowed for refining chronostratigraphic framework highlighted main phases margin growth. Since Pliocene, has recorded deposition 100 m high...
