Introduction to Cenozoic Antarctic glacial history
No full textFluctuations in size of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), a feature of the
southern high latitudes for at least the last 35 million years, have been
one of the major driving forces of changes in global sea level and
climate through the Cenozoic Era. Under the prospect of a warming
climate (IPCC, 2007), it is important to assess the past and future
stability of the cryosphere, particularly after ice core records identified
a direct link between variations in CO2 concentration in the
atmosphere and palaeotemperatures.
This special issue of Global and Planetary Change developed
largely from contributions presented at the EGU meeting in Vienna,
Austria (http://meetings.copernicus.org/egu2008/; 13–18 April,
2008), and at the International Geological Congress (IGC) Conference
in Oslo, Norway (www.33igc.org/; 6–14 August, 2008) where we
organised sessions designed to investigate the many orders and scales
of variation of Antarctic ice sheets and palaeoclimate from Antarctic
and Subantarctic records, from outcrop studies, deep sea drilling,
continental margin drilling and seismic investigations, permafrost
and ice core drilling.
This special issue of Global and Planetary Change continues a
series of related special issues and a book (Florindo et al., 2003, 2005;
Barrett et al., 2006; Florindo et al., 2008; Florindo and Siegert, 2009),
all of which are linked to the Antarctic Climate Evolution (ACE)
project. ACE is an initiative of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic
Research (SCAR) to investigate the climate and glacial history of
Antarctica by linking climate and ice sheet modelling studies with
terrestrial and marine geological and geophysical evidence of past
changes (www.scar.org/researchgroups/geoscience/ace; http://www.
ace.scar.org). Over the coming years, ACE will pursue a broad range of
objectives to better comprehend past Antarctic changes through
organisation of workshops and publication of special issues, allowing
the dissemination of geological data and numerical modelling to a
wide audience.Publishedv-vii1.8. Osservazioni di geofisica ambientale2.2. Laboratorio di paleomagnetismo3.8. Geofisica per l'ambienteJCR Journalreserve

COMMENT & REPLY - Comment on “Could the Mw = 9.3 Sumatra Earthquake Trigger a Geomagnetic Jerk?”
No full textWe thank M. Dumberry for providing the
opportunity to discuss further the article
[Florindo et al., 2005] in which we suggested
that the Sumatra earthquake could have triggered a geomagnetic jerk. Dumberry is against our hypothesis for different reasons: (1) The displacement pattern produced by this earthquake is incompatible with the core-mantle boundary (CMB) deformations required for a torsional oscillation; (2) most of the deformations occurred locally, producing an actual mass displacement that has not involved the entire Earth; and (3) no abrupt change in the length of day (LOD) has been observed after this event. Although we agree with some of the considerations
proposed by Dumberry, we think that these do not rule out the possibility that a jerk
has been triggered by the Sumatra earthquake
or that in the future, other earthquakes could induce a change in the flow pattern near the CMB leading to a geomagnetic jerk. On the contrary, we retain that this hypothesis is plausible, although it is more correct to talk about the existence of a possible link between geomagnetic jerks and earthquakes where the earthquake magnitude is not the only discriminating parameter.Published3433.3.

Risk management: The new normative scenario and the role of training and education [La formazione nel risk Management nelle Aziende sanitarie alla luce delle novità legislative]
No full textThe article focuses on the important issue of Risk Management in health. In particular, it describes and critically appraises the new Italian law on patients' safety and professional responsibility, and expand on the educational and training needs to implement it on the ground. On the basis of the new law the role of Risk Managers, responsible for quality and safety of healthcare services, becomes of crucial importance in both public and private hospitals in Italy. In such context, education and training of risk managers should be multi disciplinary, ad hoc designed on recent regulations, and, more in general, help to build a new era in healthcare management

Chronology of Cenozoic Antartic glacial history from circum-Antartic marine sedimentary records
No full textThe present research represents an integrated magnetostratigraphic and environmental magnetic study of Cenozoic sediments from selected circum-Antarctic drill cores. The studied cores were selected to obtain a more complete picture of glacial history that can only be obtained by linking ice-proximal records from the continental shelf to the deep-sea record through key drill sites from the Antarctic margin and other coeval sequences from the Southern Ocean. These locations include: (1) a Cape Roberts Project drill-hole from the Ross Sea, other sedimentary sequences from the Southern Ocean drilled in association with the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP), including (2) holes 689B, 689D, 690B and 690C (ODP Leg 113) from Maud Rise, Weddell Sea, and (3) a transect of two sites drilled during ODP Leg 188 across the Prydz Bay continental shelf (Site 1166) and rise (Site 1165) in the Indian Ocean sector of the Antarctic margin. The results presented in this thesis provide an improved view of the timing and extent of events associated with the onset and subsequent history of Antarctic glaciation. In addition to these findings, they provide further evidence for an external forcing mechanism driving the dynamics of the early Oligocene East Antarctic Ice Sheet during its initial development. Finally, beside these results, paleomagnetic results from ODP Site 1165 (Prydz Bay, Antarctica), ODP Site 883 (North Pacific Ocean), ODP Site 1124 (Southwest Pacific Ocean) and ODP Site 998 (Caribbean Sea), provide evidence that dissolution of magnetite is a common feature in sediments with elevated porewater silica concentrations (e.g. in the Southern Ocean). This observation has important implications for paleomagnetic investigations of siliceous sedimentary environments.</p
