Seismic stratigraphy and marine magnetics of the Naples Bay (Southern Tyrrhenian sea, Italy): the onset of new technologies in marine data acquisition, processing and interpretation
Full text linkSeismic stratigraphy and marine magnetics in the case histories of the Somma-Vesuvius volcanic complex, Phlegrean Fields offshore and Ischia and Procida islands offshore (Naples Bay, Southern Tyrrhenian sea) are here discussed. Detailed geo-volcanologic setting of these areas is presented to give a better framework of the presented data. Seismo-stratigraphic techniques and methodologies are discussed, focussing, in particular, on the Naples area, where the Quaternary volcanic activity prevented the application of classical stratigraphic concepts, due to the occurrence of interlayered sedimentary sequences and intervening volcanic bodies (volcanites and volcaniclastites). The onset of new technologies in marine data acquisition, processing and interpretation is also discussed taking into account some historical aspects
Gravity instabilities in the Dohrn canyon (Bay of Naples, Southern Tyrrhenian sea): potential wave and run-up (tsunami) reconstruction from a fossil submarine landslide
Full text linkWe discuss a mathematical model for wave and run-up generated submarine landslides in the canyons of the Bay of Naples (Magnaghi-Dohrn canyon system). The morpho-bathymetry and submarine gravity instabilities of such incisions have been investigated through the interpretation of a high resolution DEM. The canyons are located in a sector of the bay where there is a variable interaction of volcanic activity (Phlegrean Fields and Ischia and Procida islands) with sedimentary processes due to the Sarno-Sebeto rivers. At present the Naples canyon-system is inactive, as is shown by the Holocene sedimentary drapes deposited during the present sea-level highstand but gravity instabilities occurred in the recent past at the canyons' heads. In particular the Dohrn Canyon is characterized by a double regressive head, while the Magnaghi Canyon shows a trilobate head, formed by the junction of three main tributary channels and coincident with the retreat of the shelf break around the 140 m isobath. The results of a simulation of failures in the above source areas show that the amplitude of wave run-up, expressed in terms of sea floor depth percentage, may range up to 2.5% of the water depth at the sea bottom

New Castle (House of Anjou)
No full textLarge central courtyard, Chapel of St. Barbara with rose window (now a museum) at center; Often called Maschio Angioino (House of Anjou), also Castelnuovo, it is a medieval castle (fortified residence) built in 1281 by the architects Pierre de Chaule (or Chaulnes) and Pierre d’Agincourt for Charles I of Anjou (reigned 1266-1285), who elevated Naples to the status of capital of the Kingdom of Sicily and Naples (later conquered by Spain). Enlarged by Robert I in the Gothic style under the supervision of Giovanni Caracciolo from Isernia and Gualtiero Seripando, ca. 1307-1330. Total remodelling during the 15th century retained only the basic square plan around a large central courtyard; the chapel of St. Barbara, or Palatine Chapel, is the only surviving part of the original castle. A marble triumphal arch was added in ca. 1452-1471. Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/ (accessed 8/1/2013
New insights on morpho-structures and seismic stratigraphy along the Campania continental margin (Southern Italy) based on deep multichannel seismic profiles
Full text linkNew insights on the deep regional geological structure of the Naples Bay are herein proposed through the constraints of seismic interpretation. Regional geoseismic sections along the Ischia-Capri-Volturno alignment of the Campania continental margin have been constructed. Main regional morpho-structures are: the Banco di Fuori, a morpho-structure high of the Meso-Cenozoic carbonates, bounding southwards the Naples Bay; the Dohrn canyon, separating the eastern side of the Bay, where sedimentary seismic sequences crop out, from the western one, where volcanic seismic units prevail; the Capri structural high, a sedimentary high related to regional uplift of Meso-Cenozoic carbonates along the Capri-Sorrento alignment; the Magnaghi canyon, eroding the Mg volcanic seismic unit southwards of the Procida island; the Capri Basin, a deep basin located south of the Naples Bay, filled by Pleistocene-Holocene sediments overlying Meso-Cenozoic carbonatic unit; the Salerno Valley, a half-graben filled by three seismic units corresponding to Quaternary marine deposits, overlying chaotic sequences related to the "Flysch del Cilento" Auct.; the Volturno Basin, filled by four marine to deltaic seismic sequences, frequently alternating with volcanoclastic levels, overlying deep seismic units, correlated with Miocene flysch deposits (sands and shales) and Meso-Cenozoic carbonates. On the Naples slope between the Dohrn and Magnaghi canyons a large volcanic edifice, only magnetically known, deeply buried under Quaternary volcanites and genetically related to the Procida volcanic complex has been modelled through seismic interpretation

Aspect géomorphologiques des souterrains de Naples/Geomorphological features of the underground of Naples
No full textGeomorphological, geological-structural, volcano-tectonics and geoarchaeological features of the downtown of Naples are explained. In particular, the manmade caves of the historical center, dug and modeled in the Neapolitan yellow tuff pyroclastic formation during the last 2200 years and widely used as geomaterial for buildings, and their relations with the urbanized landscape over time are also illustrated through an underground field trip
CLAND - Cultural Landscapes - Resesarch by design_learning from Naples
No full textL’uso del plurale al posto del singolare (paesaggio/paesaggi) è legato al duplice significato che il gruppo di ricerca intende attribuire a questo “titolo”. Da un lato il plurale serve a individuare l’oggetto e le finalità della ricerca: più che sulla connotazione teorica, classificatoria “a priori” del termine “paesaggio culturale”, nel gruppo napoletano l’azione di ricerca si sviluppa “dal basso”, a partire dall’identificazione di casi specifici destinati ad arricchire, implementare, ampliare la nozione generale (che ovviamente ne costituisce lo sfondo originario e consente di costruire relazioni a distanza con gruppi impegnati sullo stesso tema dentro e fuori l’Europa). Dall’altro lato il plurale sottolinea il senso stesso della costruzione del gruppo di ricerca (e in questo senso il sottotitolo “learning from Naples” acquista una serie di significati): come la città che ne raccoglie e ne orienta l’azione, la sua caratteristica è quella di essere costituito da soggetti appartenenti a differenti “paesaggi culturali”. L’identità del gruppo è in sé plurale ma non per questo generica. Quello che tiene insieme i componenti non è tanto una comune interpretazione dei “fatti” dell’architettura e della città ma una comune “posizione” sul senso della ricerca in architettura, svolta in ambito accademico, sul suo ruolo e sulla sua utilità sociale; e soprattutto la comune convinzione che l’avanzamento della ricerca provenga oggi molto più dal “campo d’azione” generato dal confronto tra posizioni diverse che non da una contrapposizione a posteriori tra gruppi “di tendenza”.
L’abbondanza dei settori ERC che rappresentano dei possibili campi di applicazione allude a un’altra delle logiche sottese alla costituzione di un gruppo di questo tipo, che da una parte vuole attestare la competenza disciplinare su tematiche ampie, dall’altra è consapevole che sui singoli ambiti di applicazione non potrà che aprirsi a collaborazioni interdisciplinari.
L’unità di ricerca lavora dunque per sottolineare la capacità del “settore” della progettazione architettonica e urbana, di definire dei punti di vista specifici sulla ricerca in architettura. La ricerca “sulla” e “attraverso la” didattica rientra nel suo campo di azione, così come la rivendicazione di una “pratica del progetto” che, inteso come “ricerca” e individuato come un’azione “tipica” del docente universitario, non si sovrappone a quella di figure più squisitamente professionali
