The Southern Apennines range of Italy presents significant challenges for active fault detection due to the complex structural setting inherited from previous contractional tectonics, coupled very recent (Middle Pleistocene) onset and slow slip rates normal faults. As shown by Irpinia Fault, source a M6.9 earthquake in 1980, major faults might have small cumulative deformation subtle geomorphic expression. A multidisciplinary study including morphological‐tectonic, paleoseismological,...
We report on a paleomagnetic and rock magnetic study of two adjacent marine gravity cores from the Salerno Gulf (Italy), with measurements carried out u‐channel samples at 1‐cm spacing. The recover sedimentary sequence spanning, in overlapping part, last ∼6000 years include thick (∼1 m) pumice layer produced during Somma‐Vesuvius eruption 79 A.D. Rock lithostratigraphic data provide several tie‐points for detailed correlation between cores. Paleomagnetic allow determination well‐defined...
Submarine canyons are geomorphologic lineaments engraving the slope/outer shelf of continental margins. These features often associated with significant geologic hazard when they develop close to densely populated coastal zones. The seafloor Naples Bay is deeply cut by two incisions characterized a dense network gullies, namely Dohrn and Magnaghi canyons, which from break Campania margin, down peripheral rise Eastern Tyrrhenian bathyal plain. Seismic-stratigraphic interpretation multichannel...
In the framework of GeoGrid project, with specific goal to look for shallow geothermal resources suitable test developed technologies, Agnano field, a relatively unexplored sector eastern Campi Flegrei caldera, was investigated through multidisciplinary geophysical, stratigraphic and hydro-chemical surveys. Such approach allows us reconstruct subsurface morphology below Hyppodrome (AH), interpreted by gravimetric, seismic data, as complex structure characterized gradual southward...
Abstract Tsunami deposits present an important archive for understanding tsunami histories and dynamics. Most research in this field has focused on onshore preserved remains, while the offshore have received less attention. In 2009, during a coring campaign with Italian Navy Magnaghi , four 1 m long gravity cores (MG cores) were sampled from northern part of Augusta Bay, along transect 60 to 110 water depth. These taken same area where core (MS06) was collected 2007 about 2·3 km at depth 72...
In this study, the sustainability of low-temperature geothermal field exploitation in a carbonate reservoir near Mondragone (CE), Southern Italy, is analyzed. The has been extensively studied through research project VIGOR (Valutazione del potenzIale Geotermico delle RegiOni della convergenza). From seismic, geo-electric, hydro-chemical and groundwater data, obtained experimental campaigns carried out, physiochemical features aquifers characteristics have determined. Within project,...
Abstract We aim at modeling the main crustal and thermal interfaces of Sicily (Italy), a key area for understanding geological complexity collisional boundary between African European plates. To this end, we analyze gravity magnetic fields, integrated with information from well logs, geology, heat flow, seismic data. In order to make most accurate description structure area, modeled different methodologies carbonate crystalline top surfaces, as Moho Curie isotherm surface. The reconstruction...
Abstract. The Neapolitan Yellow Tuff caldera-forming eruption (ca. 15 kyr) is a large event that occurred at Phlegrean Fields during the Late Glacial–Holocene time span. eruptive products represent widespread isochronous marker links marine and terrestrial stratigraphic record of central Mediterranean Northern Europe sequences. In this research, we describe signature NYT deposits in shelf sequence Gulf Gaeta (northern Campania region, southern Tyrrhenian Sea) throughout seismo-stratigraphic...
The study deals with the analyses of springs and wells at base Montepugliano Hill that represents SE edge wide carbonate Matese massif (Campania, southern Italy). At hill, from west to east for almost one kilometre, cold HCO3-Ca type (Grassano springs, ~ 4.5 m3/s; TDS: about 0.45 g/L) pass hypothermal, type, sulphurous CO2-rich (~ 1 m3/s TDS > g/L). Some latter are widely used in Telese Spa Centro Relax Spa. Chemical isotopic carried out this support hypothesis all these waters (mineral...
Abstract The southern Tyrrhenian continental margin is the product of Pliocene–Recent back-arc extension. An area approximately 30 km 2 gentle (about 1.5°) lower slope last glacial outer shelf sedimentary wedge in water depths between 200 and 300 m failed 14 11 ka BP. We approached landslide by multibeam sub-bottom profiler surveying, high-resolution multichannel seismics, coring for stratigraphic geotechnical purposes. With regard to a slope-stability analysis, we carried out an assessment...
Abstract. Seismic stratigraphy and core litho-stratigraphy in the Salerno Bay inner shelf (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea) reveal significant storm deposition episodes over last 1 ky. Three major events are preserved as decimetre thick silt/sand layers bounded at their base by erosional surfaces sealed muddy marine sequences between 25 60 m of depth.

We present the results of a multidisciplinary and multiscale study at Mt. Massico, Southern Italy. Massico is carbonate horst located along Campanian-Latial margin Tyrrhenian basin, bordered by two main NE–SW systems faults, NW–SE N–S trending faults. Our analysis deals with modelling These faults were capable during Plio-Pleistocene are still active today, even though scarce low-energy seismicity (Mw maximum = 4.8). inferred pattern fault planes through combined interpretation 2-D...
Small and medium size district heating networks have seen some spread over the last two decades, especially in cities which are not supplied by natural gas grids.In this paper, authors investigate energetic feasibility of a small network feeding schools city Southern Italy (Mondragone).In particular, is powered low-temperature geothermal fluid pumped from well located 2.1 km away center.Geothermal has temperature 34°C flow rate 6 l/s.The buildings been rehabilitated an energy point view...
Abstract We present a 3D model of the main crustal boundaries beneath Campanian region and onshore offshore surrounding areas, based on high-resolution potential field data. Our objective is definition structural interfaces in whole from gravity magnetic data, thanks to their ability define them regional continuous way. The complex morphology Mesozoic carbonate platform, which fundamental constrain top geothermal reservoir, was reconstructed by inverting vertical gradient gravity. assumed...
Records of geomagnetic secular variation have been obtained from three cores recovered the Salerno Gulf (southern Italy). High-resolution petrophysical and palaeomagnetic measurements enabled reconstruction a composite curve palaeosecular (PSV), which is compared with reconstructed PSV Britain French archaeomagnetic data last 2.1ka. The good agreement record above conforms that our reaches back for some 9.0ka. In addition to thick pumice layer originated during Somma-Vesuvius eruption at 79,...
