At least two transient events of extreme global warming occurred superimposed on the long‐term latest Paleocene and early Eocene trend in Paleocene‐Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) (or ETM1 ∼55.5 Ma) Elmo ETM2 ∼53.6 Ma). Other than warmth, best known PETM is characterized by (1) significant injection 13 C‐depleted carbon into ocean‐atmosphere system, (2) deep‐sea carbonate dissolution, (3) strong biotic responses, (4) perturbations hydrological cycle.

Environmental problems linked to the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter with dimensions less than 10 μ m (PM ) in urban settings have stimulated a variety scientific researches. This study reports systematic analysis magnetic properties PM samples collected by six automatic stations installed for air quality monitoring through Latium Region (Italy). We measured low‐field susceptibility daily filters during period July 2004 2005. For each station, we derived an empirical linear...
The depositional history of the Storfjorden and Kveithola trough-mouth fans (TMFs) in northwestern Barents Sea has been investigated within two coordinated Spanish Italian projects framework International Polar Year (IPY) Activity 367, NICE STREAMS. investigation conducted using a multidisciplinary approach to study sediment cores positioned on high-resolution multibeam bathymetry TOPAS/CHIRP sub-bottom profiles. Core correlation age model were based 27 AMS 14C samples, rock magnetic...
The Montalbano Jonico (MJ) section, cropping out in Southern Italy, represents a potential candidate to define the Lower/Middle Pleistocene boundary and it has been proposed as suitable Global Stratotype Section Point (GSSP) of Ionian Stage (Middle Pleistocene). MJ section is only continuous benthic planktonic δ18O on-land reference Mediterranean area for Mid-Pleistocene transition, spanning an interval between about 1240 645 ka. Combined biostratigraphy sapropel chronology, tephra...
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...
The upper continental slope of the Storfjorden-Kveithola Trough Mouth Fans (NW Barents Sea) contains a several m-thick late Pleistocene sequence plumites composed laminated mud interbedded with sand/silt layers. Radiocarbon ages revealed that deposition occurred during about 130 years at very high sedimentation rate 3.4 cm a−1, 7 km from present shelf break. Palaeomagnetic and rock magnetic analyses confirm existence prominent, short-living sedimentary event. appear laterally continuous were...
Abstract We present a paleomagnetic and rock magnetic data set from two long sediment cores collected Bellsund Isfjorden contourite drifts located on the eastern side of Fram Strait (western Spitsbergen margin). The gave opportunity to define behavior past geomagnetic field at high latitude constrain palaeoclimatic events that occurred in time framework spanning marine isotope stage 3 Holocene. A high‐resolution age model was reconstructed by coupling 26 radiocarbon ages relative...

The Tiber valley is a prominent feature in the landscape of ancient Rome and an important element for understanding its urban development. However, little known about city’s original setting. Our research provides new data on Holocene sedimentary history human-environment interactions Forum Boarium, location earliest harbor city. Since Last Glacial Maximum, when fluvial was incised to depth tens meters below present sea level, 14C ceramic ages coupled with paleomagnetic analysis show...
Abstract We present the study of a composite, yet continuous sedimentary succession covering time interval spanning 2.6–0.36 Ma in intramontane basin Anagni (central Italy) through dedicated borecore, field surveys, and review previous data at three palaeontological archaeological sites Colle Marino, Coste San Giacomo Fontana Ranuccio. By combining magneto- chronostratigraphic with sedimentologic biostratigraphic analysis, we describe palaeogeographic tectonic evolution this region during...
A high-resolution paleomagnetic and rock magnetic study has been carried out on sediment cores collected in glaciomarine silty-clay sequences from the continental shelf slope of southern Storfjorden trough-mouth fan, northwestern Barents Sea margin. The sedimentary system was investigated during SVAIS EGLACOM cruises, when 10 gravity cores, with a variable length 1.03 m to 6.41 m, were retrieved. Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14C analyses 24 samples indicate that span time interval...
