THE AREA OF PUNTA CATALINA IN THE MAGELLANIC POSTGLACIAL EVOLUTIONARY FRAMEWORK. MAP N. 4/12 OF THE GEOMORPHOLOGICAL ATLAS OF THE COASTS OF THE STRAIT OF MAGELLAN (+1:50.000 SCALE MAP)
No full textIn the framework of the Italian Programma Nazionale di Ricerche in Antartide (PNRA) geomorphological surveys were carried out along the coastal area of the Strait of Magellan during 1992, 1994 and 1995, in order to furnish a wide information set concerning the late Quaternary coastal moulding and evolutionary dynamics in southernmost South America.
The results have either been published or are in progress as part of a Coastal Geomorphological Atlas of the Strait of Magellan , represented by 12 maps of the eastern sector, at 1 :50 000 scale. This paper is a commentary and explanatory note to the annex map n. 4/12

Full text linkMercury (Hg) contamination in the Gulf of Trieste (northern Adriatic Sea) due to mining activity in Idrija (Slovenia) still represents an issue of environmental concern. The Isonzo/Soča River’s freshwater inputs have been identified as the main source of Hg into the Gulf, especially following periods of medium-high discharge. This research aims to evaluate the occurrence and distribution of dissolved (DHg) and particulate (PHg) Hg along the water column in the northernmost sector of the Gulf, a shallow and sheltered embayment suitable for the accumulation of fine sediments. Sediment and water samples were collected under unperturbed and perturbed environmental conditions induced by natural and anthropogenic factors. Mercury in the sediments (0.77–6.39 μg g−1) and its relationship to grain size were found to be consistent with previous research focused on the entire Gulf, testifying to the common origin of the sediment. Results showed a notable variability of DHg
Circular Bedforms Due to Pit Foraging of Greater Flamingo Phoenicopterus roseus in a Back-barrier Intertidal Habitat
Full text linkThe Greater Flamingo Phoenicopterus roseus is known as an ecosystem engineer, rearranging sediment in peculiar bedforms as a consequence of its filter-feeding behaviour. In recent decades, the populations of the Greater Flamingo have notably increased, and now the species is one of the most abundant waterbirds in Mediterranean wetlands. Owing to its range expansion, it inhabits and exploits new and suitable foraging sites detectable by foraging structures left on the sediment. There are few images of the foraging morphologies in the literature, possibly due to their ephemeral nature and difficulty in detecting them. In this manuscript, we present a very detailed UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) image of an aggregate of pit foraging structures of Greater Flamingo discovered on a back-barrier washover fan in the Marano and Grado Lagoon (Northern Adriatic, Italy)
