“…The morphotectonic investigations presented in this work provide a contribution to the definition of the role of selective erosion and tectonics in landscape evolution and their related timings, particularly in areas such as the Aventino -lower Sangro valley, with a complex geological setting-different types of succession and lithologies outcropping -and recent evolution -post Early Pleistocene in the whole NE sector -(see also Bahrami, 2012;Centamore et al, 1996;Ciccacci et al, 1986;D'Alessandro et al, 2003D'Alessandro et al, , 2008Della Seta et al, 2008;Del Monte, Di Bucci, & Trigari, 1996;Figueroa & Knott, 2010;Gioia, Schiattarella, Mattei, & Nico, 2011;Goldsworthy & Jackson, 2000;Miccadei et al, 2004;Miccadei et al, 2011;Molin et al, 2004;Nesci et al, 1995;Pazzaglia, 2013;Wegmann & Pazzaglia, 2009). …”

“…It is a thrust belt migrated north-east, that built up during the Neogene (Calamita, Esestime, Paltrinieri, Scisciani, & Tavarnelli, 2009;Carminati & Doglioni, 2004;Parotto & Praturlon, 2004;Patacca & Scandone, 2007). Since the Late Pliocene the Apennines have been affected by differential uplift and extensional tectonics with the emergence of the Apennine piedmont and the formation of intermontane basins (Ascione, Cinque, Miccadei, Villani, & Berti, 2008;Cavinato & De Celles, 1999;D'Agostino, Jackson, Dramis, & Funiciello, 2001;D'Alessandro, Miccadei, & Piacentini, 2003).…”

This work presents the Morphotectonic map of the Aventino-Lower Sangro valley, located in the southern Abruzzi area, and extending from the Apennines chain to the eastern piedmont, from the Maiella Mountain to the Adriatic coast. It is the result of an extensive drainage basin scale geomorphological analysis carried out in the Abruzzi area and incorporates four main sections: orography and hydrography (upper right on the map); morphotectonic section (centre and left on the map); quaternary fluvial deposits and terraces section (right on the map) and the long morphotectonic profile (lower right on the map).The map presented in this work provides a basis for the recognition of morphotectonic features at basin scale, the detection of tectonic control on landscape, and the reconstruction of paleo-landscapes. It contributes to defining the main phases of the post-orogenic landscape evolution of the transition zone between the Apennines chain and the eastern piedmont area, resulting from the combination of alternating morphotectonics and surface processes, due to rock uplift processes, local tectonics and slope and fluvial processes.

“…The more elevated areas in this sector are constituted of Mio-Pliocenic terrigenous pelitic-arenaceous and pelitic-marly deposits [25][26][27]. The alluvial aquifers are sedimentary structures that include various orders of terraces (I to IV order) and the current alluvial plain.…”

Abstract:In this research, univariate and bivariate statistical methods were applied to rainfall, river and piezometric level datasets belonging to 24-year time series . These methods, which often are used to understand the effects of precipitation on rivers and karstic springs discharge, have been used to assess piezometric level response to rainfall and river level fluctuations in a porous aquifer. A rain gauge, a river level gauge and three wells, located in Central Italy along the lower Pescara River valley in correspondence of its important alluvial aquifer, provided the data. Statistical analysis has been used within a known hydrogeological framework, which has been refined by mean of a photo-interpretation and a GPS survey. Water-groundwater relationships were identified following the autocorrelation and cross-correlation analyses. Spectral analysis and mono-fractal features of time series were assessed to provide information on multi-year variability, data distributions, their fractal dimension and the distribution return time within the historical time series. The statistical-mathematical results were interpreted through fieldwork that identified distinct groundwater flowpaths within the aquifer and enabled the implementation of a conceptual model, improving the knowledge on water resources management tools.

“…The plain is 800-900 m a.s.l., with surrounding ridges up to >2000 m (Figure 1), and lies in a complex geological and geomorphological setting between the Abruzzo Apennines, characterized by thrust and anticline ridges and faulted homocline ridges, and the Molise Apennines, mostly characterized by fault thrust ridges, isolated relief, hogback, and cuesta relief (Ascione, Cinque, Miccadei, Villani, & Berti, 2008;Clermonté, 1977;D'Alessandro, Miccadei, & Piacentini, 2003;Vezzani & Ghisetti, 1998).…”

Castel di Sangro-Scontrone field camp – structural and applied geomorphology

The Geomorphological Field Camp 2014 in the Castel di Sangro-Scontrone area is the result of geological and geomorphological teaching field work activities carried out in Central Italy by a group of 23 students attending the Structural Geomorphology and Applied Geomorphology courses (Master's Degree in Geological Science and Technology of the Università degli Studi 'G. d'Annunzio' Chieti-Pescara, Italy, Department of Engineering and Geology). The Field Camp 2014 was organized in May 2014, following regular classes held during the fall term. General activities for the field camp were developed over four main stages: (1) preliminary analysis of the regional geological and geomorphological setting of the area; (2) preliminary activities for the analysis of the local area (orography, hydrography and photogeology investigations, and geographical information system processing); (3) field work, focused on the analysis of a specific issue concerning structural geomorphology or applied geomorphology (e.g. landscape evolution, river channel change, landslide distribution, and flood hazard); and (4) post-field work production of the map. Finally, the fundamental role of field work in the analysis of landscape and in land management was outlined: indeed, the overall field camp enhanced the crucial role of field-based learning for young geomorphologists in order to acquire a strong sensitivity to geomorphological processes and landscape evolution.
