Abstract An assessment on the fluctuations in abundance of striped venus clam ( Chamelea gallina ) southern Adriatic Sea (Central Mediterranean Sea), and northern Gargano area, has been conducted through both historical information recent data from monitoring surveys during period 1997–2019. Production trends, conditions commercial stock biomass, depth distribution pattern juveniles sizes were analysed testing temporal differences. Moreover, exploitation beds recruitment events investigated...
A time series approach was proposed to improve the knowledge of a wide coastal karst aquifer. The combines decomposition, trend, autocorrelation and cross-correlation analyses using both daily monthly temperature, rainfall piezometric data with different temporal characteristics. merges shorter complete (2007-2011) long-lasting times (1965-2011) relevant gaps. applied Salento aquifer (Southern Italy) enhance comprehensive statistical tools variables in assessing hydrodynamic properties...
Seawater intrusion is the main cause of groundwater salinisation in Italy. The largest coastal aquifers, highly vulnerable to salinisation, are Apulia. For these changes terms climate change and utilisation discussed together with piezometric trends, as latter relevant triggering factors for upconing lateral seawater intrusion. this purpose, time series from 1921 2016 concerning (rainfall temperature), 1965 availability (piezometric values), recent periodic data on potable discussed. Climate...
The Maltese Islands are located in the central Mediterranean area, on Malta-Sicily Platform. archipelago consists of three main islands, Malta, Gozo and Comino, several other small uninhabited islets. largest has an extent 246 km2.The aim this paper is to describe collaboration between CNRIRPI EWA (Energy Water Agency Malta) efforts upgrade hydrogeological knowledge Malta Island, pursuing sustainable utilisation groundwater resources. This will support water management activities for...
The use of geothermal energy resources to support anthropogenic activities have a long-lasting tradition, renewed in recent decades with the increasing low enthalpy (LEG) combined systems heat pumps and exchange, exploiting enormous thermal capacity very temperature variability subsoil, including rocks water. further potential global increase LEG could be enormous, although is already main sources Europe, contributing significantly reach 2030 UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) on...
The striped venus clam (Chamelea gallina Linnaeus, 1758) is one of the most important commercially valuable bivalves distributed in Italian sandy soft bottoms Adriatic Sea (Central Mediterranean Sea). impacts hydraulic dredge used harvesting this bivalve have been widely investigated area, while poor data are available on relationships between juveniles' recruitment and water circulation. This preliminary study explores dynamics C. populations Northern Gargano Area during period 2018-2019,...
