Anatomy of the Holocene succession of the southern Venice lagoon revealed by very high-resolution seismic data

Ground surface dynamics in the northern Adriatic coastland over the last two decades

“…In a 10-15 km wide coastal strip, the thickness, texture and depositional environment of the Holocene deposits (Tosi et al 2007b(Tosi et al , c, 2009bZecchin et al 2008Zecchin et al , 2009Rizzetto et al 2009) play a significant role in controlling shallow causes of land subsidence. Other factors that contribute to increasing land subsidence at a smaller areal extent are the salinization of clay deposits due to saltwater intrusion and the biochemical oxidation of outcropping peat soils (Gambolati et al 2005;Carbognin et al 2006).…”

Integrating Geotechnical and Interferometric SAR Measurements for Secondary Compressibility Characterization of Coastal Soils

“…Zecchin et al 2009;Rizzetto et al 2010) The caranto is mainly composed of very stiff clayey silts or silty clays. The Holocene sequence is composed of fluvial, back barrier, deltaic, and shoreface deposits forming a transgressive-regressive cycle.…”

Late-Pleistocene evolution of the continental shelf of central Israel, a case study from Hadera

“…Prior studies that have examined these coastal areas and their response to past sea level and climate change have largely focused on sheltered environments such as estuaries and deltas, as the preservation potential within these settings is exceptionally high (e.g. Belknap and Kraft, 1985;Allard et al, 2009;Zecchin et al, 2009). More recently researchers have started to examine the response of open coastlines to these same drivers, with particular focus on the response to the Late Pleistocene to Holocene transgression (e.g.…”
