Abstract The Campi Flegrei caldera is a large volcanic complex lying in the Campanian Plain, Southern Italy. During its history experienced episodes of bradyseism and intense swarm seismicity. mechanism leading to unrest still debated, great efforts are ongoing improve knowledge this structure evolution due high risk such densely populated area. Here we present resistivity model from two‐dimensional inversion audiomagnetotelluric data acquired along an approximately 5.6‐km long profile...
One of the major issues in buried archeological sites especially if characterized by intense human activity, complex structures, and several constructive phases, is: to what depth conduct excavation? The answer depends on a number factors, among these one most important is priori reliable knowledge subsoil can preserve. To this end, geophysics (if used strong synergy with archaeological research) help planning time, depth, modes excavation also when physical characteristics remains their...
This paper presents a magnetotelluric (MT) survey of the unstable eastern flank Mt. Etna. We take thirty soundings along two profiles oriented in N‐S and NW‐SE directions, from these data recover 2D resistivity models subsurface. Both reveal three major layers resistive‐conductive‐resistive sequence, deepest extending to 14 km bsl. The shallow layer corresponds volcanic cover, intermediate conductive underlying sediments segmented by faults. These electrical units are cut ∼ E‐W‐striking...
Gravaglione represents one of the main swallow holes Canale di Pirro, low Murge, Apulia region, Italy. Here, after an intense rainstorm, a huge volume rainwater accumulates at surface. The drainage dynamics suggest that could be part large, and potentially unknown, karst system. To verify this hypothesis to acquire useful information on possible environment features, integrated aerial geophysical multiscale multimethod approach was applied. In particular, photogrammetry, ground penetrating...
The development of spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology declares that the golden era SAR remote sensing in archeology is approaching; however, nowadays its methodology framework still lacking due to inadequate case studies validated by ground-truths. In this study, we investigated crop marks using multi-temporal Cosmo-SkyMed data acquired 2013 applying a two-step decision-tree classifier conjunction with spatial analysis an area archeological interest nearby site Han-Wei...
Abstract Over the last few years, seismic activity in Pollino area (a sector of Calabro–Lucanian Apennines southern Italy known as a gap) has been very weak. However, 2011 seismicity gradually intensified, culminating an earthquake M w 5.0 occurred on 25 October 2012. The depth 2011–2012 hypocenters ranges between 2 and 10 km; results two separate clusters traces north‐northwest–south‐southeast fracture more evident western sector. In this area, MT station was installed 26 September 2012 by...
Since 2007, a permanent magnetotelluric (MT) monitoring station has been working in the seismic area of Agri Valley (Basilicata region, southern Italy) order to investigate stability MT transfer function. The was installed rural near supposed seismogenic fault strong earthquake (Mw = 6.9) that struck 1857. Analysing about 4 yr data characterized by low activity, long-term systematic variations robust single function estimates were observed two different sounding period ranges. First,...
This study focuses on the analysis of sandy beaches by integrating sedimentological, geomorphological, and geophysical investigations. The beach represents an extremely variable environment where different natural processes act simultaneously with human activities, leading to gathering methodologies Earth Sciences its evolution in space time. aim this research is propose a potential procedure for monitoring morpho-sedimentary analyzing textural compositional characteristics sands quantifying...
Abstract. We present the geophysical data set acquired in summer of 2022 close to Ny-Ålesund (Western Svalbard, Brøggerhalvøya peninsula – Norway) as part project ICEtoFLUX. The aim investigation is characterize role groundwater flow correspondence active layer well through and/or below permafrost. composed Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys, which are well-known techniques for characterization glacial hydrological processes features. 18 ERT...
This paper presents the results obtained by an audio-magnetotelluric (AMT) survey carried out crossing western sector of Montemurro village (Southern Italy) affected intense hydrogeological instability. The AMT investigation was aimed to settle question concerning possible prosecution toward SE Eastern Agri Fault System whose surficial evidences could be blinded extensive landslides phenomena and anthropization territory. profile oriented in NE-SW direction, orthogonal main geological...
Abstract. Mud volcanoes are fluid escape structures allowing for surface venting of hydrocarbons (mostly gas but also liquid condensates and oils) water–sediment slurries. For a better understanding mud volcano dynamics, the characterization dynamics within conduits; presence, extent, depth reservoirs; connection among aquifers, conduits, reservoirs play key role. To this aim, we performed geoelectrical survey in Nirano Salse Regional Nature Reserve, located at edge northern Apennines...
Coastal erosion occurs due to different processes involving physical and ecological systems. One of these factors is the degree water stress experienced by dune vegetation. While healthy vegetation can help stabilize systems, water-stressed instead enhance erosion. In this study, remote sensing techniques were used monitor affecting in systems along alluvial plain Chiatona coast (Apulia, Southern Italy) located on Ionian Arc. Multispectral satellite data from Landsat 8/9 Sentinel-2 assess at...
Seismo−electromagnetic signals (SES) are anomalous electromagnetic generated as a response to the propagation of mechan− ical perturbation within subsoil. Fluid presence plays key role in determining SES generation and characteristics, therefore study could be useful for subsoil characterization. In more general framework, it can give insight about fluids earthquake seismic wave propagation. A systematic on related data analysis techniques is fundamental define characteristics these which...
Geothermal energy is a renewable and eco-compatible resource suitable for base-load power thermal production, which means daily continuous production. In the past few years this source has been of interest governments, companies research institutes worldwide that are working increase geothermal exploitation with aim reducing greenhouse gas emissions fossil fuels consumption. Italy was first country (in 1913) where exploited industrial production now sixth-largest electricity producer in...
