The sustainable use and management of important tropical coastal ecosystems (mangrove
forests, seagrass beds and coral reefs) cannot be done without understanding the direct and …

Underground accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) is a widespread geological
phenomenon, with natural trap** of CO2 in underground reservoirs. Information and …

Earthquakes are known to affect groundwater properties, yet the mechanisms causing
chemical and physical aquifer changes are still unclear. The Apennines mountain belt in …

This paper outlines the main contributions to the definition and evaluation of tsunami hazard
and risk resulting from studies undertaken in Italy in recent years and emphasises that …

1.1 Background Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is one option for mitigating
atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide thereby contributes in actions for stabilization of …

Understanding and predicting physical and chemical trap** mechanisms are important for
designing successful CO 2 storage projects. The processes have been investigated …

Recent seismicity recorded in the Adriatic region suggests that active deformation occurs
within the Adria plate. Earthquakes are common in the adjoining chains and in particular …

A pilot GIS-based system has been implemented for the assessment and analysis of hazard
related to active faults affecting the eastern and southern flanks of Mt. Etna. The system …

Understanding the storage mechanisms in CO 2 flooding is crucial, as many carbon capture,
utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects are related to enhanced oil recovery (EOR). CO 2 …

We investigate the role of the Africa‐Eurasia convergence in the recent tectonic evolution of
the central Mediterranean. To this end we focused on two sectors of the Adriatic‐Hyblean …
