The sands of the Ofanto River (Southern Italy) include a volcaniclastic component represented by clinopyroxene, melanite garnet, amphibole and subordinate volcanic lithics. In order to infer the provenance of this component, we have conducted a micro...
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) is a spectroscopy technique widely used to identify organic materials. It has recently gained popularity in microplastic (MP) pollution research to determine the chemical composition of unknown plastic fragments. How...
Microplastics (MPs) have recently been discovered as considerable pollutants of all environmental matrices. They can contain a blend of chemicals, some of them added during the manufacture of plastic to improve their quality (additives) and others ad...
Two recently recognised incised valleys in the Manfredonia Gulf are described. The first (CCV) is correlated with the current Carapelle and Cervaro streams. The second (OSFV) is correlated mostly with the current Ofanto River. Six seismic facies and...
In this research, an operative procedure for the evaluation of land use change that occurred in highly reclaimed coastal areas from the middle of the XIX century up to the present day is proposed. The multitemporal analysis envisages the use of histo...
