Geomorphometric analysis of the natural and anthropogenic seascape of Naples (Italy): A high‐resolution morpho‐bathymetric survey

“…Other minor findings of this order platform were detected on the western sector of the islet with moderate slopes. In this sector, two additional order of platforms were mapped at –4 to –6 m and –3 m MSL, respectively (Mattei, Aucelli, Caporizzo, Peluso, et al., 2020; Pappone et al., 2019).…”

“…The fish tank of Castel dell'Ovo (Figure 17c), located on the outer margin of the third‐order platform (Mattei, Aucelli, Caporizzo, Peluso, et al., 2020), is exposed to meteo‐marine events from the southern sectors. Consequently, monitoring should be applied to conserve the state of the structure.…”

“…The Castel dell’Ovo islet, formerly called Megaris, stands right in front of the headland of Pizzofalcone (Figure 1), bordered by two different orders of submerged tufaceous palaeo‐shore platforms located at about –5 and –3 m MSL, respectively (Mattei, Aucelli, Caporizzo, Peluso, et al., 2020). Both the promontory and the islet are made of Castel dell’Ovo Tuff (OVO, 78 ka BP; Isaia et al., 2016), while the SW sector of the OVO formation is mantled by NYT through an erosional unconformity (Isaia et al., 2016; Pappone et al., 2019).…”

“…The formation of the sea‐stack of Castel dell’Ovo is attributed to the continuous wave action also responsible for the retreating of the sea‐cliff whose footslope traces are still visible along Via Chiatamone (Mattei, Aucelli, Caporizzo, Peluso, et al., 2020).…”

“…On the other hand, the study area is a typical example of volcanic rocky coast in which relicts of emerged and submerged platforms were studied in order to reconstruct the Holocene VGMs of volcanic origin that affected Naples and its surrounding area (Aucelli et al, 2018a; Cinque et al., 2011; Mattei, Aucelli, Caporizzo, Peluso, et al., 2020).…”
