    Description: Methane-rich fluid vents have been widely observed and associated to active faults in the Sea of Marmara, along the submerged portion of the North Ana- tolian Fault (NAF). Episodic gas seepage also occurs in the Izmit Gulf, along the NAF segment that ruptured during the 1999 Izmit earthquake. This site is thus a unique area to test the hypothesis on the relation between strike-slip deforma- tion, seismic activity and gas expulsion within an active fault zone. A long-term multi-parametric experiment can be an effective way to study the irregular dy- namics of gas emission from seafloor and to understand its possible relation with seismic activity. A benthic seafloor observatory (SN-4) was deployed in the Izmit Gulf in 2009 using the R/V Urania as a demonstration mission in the framework of the EC ES- ONET (European Seas Observatory NETwork) project. Instrumental redundancy and specific cross-correlation of data from different sensors, proves to be funda- mental to distinguish actual seepage events from other signals related to ocean- ographic behaviour or even sensor biases. The observatory was equipped with a three component broad-band seismometer, a CTD with turbidity meter, two methane detectors, an oxygen sensor and a current-meter. All sensors installed on the observatory were managed by dedicated low-power electronics, which can manage a wide set of data streams with quite different sampling rates. A unique reference time, set by a central high-precision clock, is used to tag each datum. After six months of continuous monitoring, SN-4 was recovered in March 2010 in order to download the data and replace the batteries for a further six month mission period and finally recovered in October 2010. The data analysis clearly shows frequent degassing events, recorded as methane anomalies in seawater and as high-frequency short-duration signals recorded by the seismometer.. The time series of other oceanographic parameters (tempera- ture, oxygen concentration, turbidity and salinity) shows patterns that seem to be linked to both local gas seepage and to the circulation of water masses in the Gulf of Izmit. A comparative analysis of the various observables and their mutual correlation, can be a key tool to understand actual degassing events along the NAF. This analysis is first attempt in finding possible correlations be

    Description: During the cruise of the Italian research vessel URANIA on August 2007, a new tsunami detector was successfully deployed at 3200 b. s. l. in the Gulf of Cadiz, Portugal. The new detector is installed on board the multi-parameter abyssal observatory GEOSTAR. This activity is a task of NEAREST EC Project (http://nearest.bo.ismar.cnr.it/ ). Among other tasks, the NEAREST project will produce and test the basic parts of an operational prototype of a near field tsunami warning system. The warning system includes an onshore warning centre based on the seismic and tide gauges monitoring networks which are already operating in the area of Gulf of Cadiz and connected in real time with many warning receiving shore stations, a buoy equipped with meteostation and two way acoustic and satellite links, and the tsunami detector installed on board GEOSTAR. The warning centre is in charge of collecting, integrating, and evaluating data recorded at sea. In the observatory at the sea bottom, data are recorded and processed by the tsunami detector which includes a pressure sensor, a seismometer and two accelerometers. The observatory communicates acoustically with a surface buoy in two-way mode. The buoy is equipped with meteo station and GPS and it is connected to the shore station via satellite dual-link. The prototype is designed to operate in tsunami generation areas for detection-warning purpose as well as for scientific measurements during long term monitoring. The pressure data are processed in real time on the sea floor observatory by a tsunami detection algorithm able to detect small tsunami waves, less than one centimetre, in a very noisy environment. At the same time the seismic data are analysed using a STA/LTA algorithm. The tsunami detector sends a near real time automatic alert message when a seismic or a pressure signal exceeds a selectable threshold indicating a strong local earthquake or a tsunami wave event. After the detection of an event, the seafloor observatory will start sending updated pressure data to the shore station. Our objective is to combine a novel approach to the tsunami warning problem, with a study of the coupling between the water column perturbations and sea floor motion, together with the long term monitoring of geophysical, geochemical and oceanographic parameters.

    Description: On August 25th 2007 a tsunami detector installed onboard the multi-parameter observatory GEOSTAR was successfully deployed at 3200 b. s. l. in the Gulf of Cadiz, Portugal. This activity is within the NEAREST EC Project (http://nearest.bo.ismar.cnr.it/ ). Among other deliverables, the NEAREST project will produce and test the basic parts of an operational prototype of a near field tsunami warning system. This system includes an onshore warning centre, based on the geophysical monitoring networks which are already operating, and a tsunami detector deployed on board GEOSTAR at the sea bottom. On land the warning centre is in charge of collecting, integrating, and evaluating data recorded at sea. At the sea bottom data is recorded and processed by an advanced type of tsunami detector which includes: a pressure sensor, a seismometer and two accelerometers. The detector communicates acoustically with a surface buoy in two-way mode. The buoy is equipped with meteo station, GPS and tiltmeter and is connected to a shore station via satellite link. The prototype is designed to operate in tsunami generation areas for detection-warning purpose as well as for scientific measurements. The tsunami detector sends a near real time automatic alert message when a seismic or pressure threshold are exceeded. Pressure signals are processed by the tsunami detection algorithm and the water pressure perturbation caused by the seafloor motion is taken into account. The algorithm is designed to detect small tsunami waves, less than one centimetre, in a very noisy environment. Our objective is to combine a novel approach to the tsunami warning problem, with a study of the coupling between the water column perturbations and sea floor motion, together with the long term monitoring of geophysical, geochemical and oceanographic parameters.

    Description: The “NEutrino Mediterranean Observatory - Submarine Network 1” (NEMO-SN1) seafloor observatory is located in the central Mediterranean Sea, Western Ionian Sea, off Eastern Sicily (Southern Italy) at 2100 m water depth, 25 km from the harbour of the city of Catania. It is a prototype of a cabled deep-sea multiparameter observatory and the first one operating with real-time data transmission in Europe since 2005. NEMO-SN1 is also the first-established node of the “European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water column Observatory” (EMSO, http://www.emso-eu.org), one of the incoming European large-scale research infrastructures included in the Roadmap of the “European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures” (ESFRI, http://cordis.europa.eu/esfri/roadmap.htm) since 2006. EMSO will specifically address long-term monitoring of environmental processes related to Marine Ecosystems, Climate Change and Geo-hazards. NEMO-SN1 has been deployed and developed over the last decade thanks to Italian funding and to the EC project “European Seas Observatory NETwork - Network of Excellence” (ESONET-NoE, 2007-2011) that funded the “Listening to the Deep Ocean - Demonstration Mission” (LIDO-DM) and a technological interoperability test (http://www.esonet-emso.org/). NEMOSN1 is performing geophysical and environmental long-term monitoring by acquiring seismological, geomagnetic, gravimetric, accelerometric, physico-oceanographic, hydroacoustic, bio-acoustic measurements. Scientific objectives include studying seismic signals, tsunami generation and warnings, its hydroacoustic precursors, and ambient noise characterisation in terms of marine mammal sounds, environmental and anthropogenic sources. NEMO-SN1 is also an important test-site for the construction of the “Kilometre-Cube Underwater Neutrino Telescope” (KM3NeT, http://www.km3net.org/), another large-scale research infrastructure included in the ESFRI Roadmap based on a large volume neutrino telescope. The description of the observatory and its most recent implementations is presented. On 9th June, 2012 NEMO-SN1 was successfully deployed and is working in real-time.

    Description: We present a review of our work on data acquired by GEOSTAR-class (GEophysical and Oceanographic STation for Abyssal Research) observatories deployed at three EMSO (European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water-column Observatory; http://www.emso-eu.org) sites in southern European waters where strong geo-hazards are present: the Western Iberian Margin, the Western Ionian Sea, the Marmara Sea, and the Marsili basin in the Tyrrhenian Sea. A procedure for multiparameter data quality control is described. Then we explain why the seafloor is an interesting observation point for geophysical parameters and how it differs from land sites. We consider four interesting geophysical phenomena found at the EMSO sites that are related to geo-hazard. In the first case, we show how unknown seismicity and landslides in the Western Ionian Sea were identified and roughly localised through a single-sensor analysis based on the seismometer. In the second case, we concentrate on the problem of near-coast tsunami generation and describe a Tsunami Early Warning Detection (TEWD) system, tested in the Western Iberian Margin and currently operating in real time at the Western Ionian site. In the third case, we consider two large volcanoes in the central Mediterranean area, Mt. Etna and the Marsili seamount. Signals from the seismometer and gravimeter recorded at the seafloor at 2100 m b.s.l. show various phases of Mt. Etna's 2002–2003 eruption. For the less-known Marsili we illustrate how several indicators coming from different sensors point to hydrothermal activity. A vector magnetometer at the two volcanic sites helps identify the magnetic lithospheric depth. In the fourth and final case, we present a multiparameter analysis which was focused on finding possible correlations between methane seepage and seismic energy release in the Gulf of Izmit (Marmara Sea).

    Description: In recent years, an increasing number of surveys have definitively confirmed the seasonal presence of fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) in highly productive regions of the Mediterranean Sea. Despite this, very little is yet known about the routes that the species seasonally follows within the Mediterranean basin and, particularly, in the Ionian area. The present study assesses for the first time fin whale acoustic presence offshore Eastern Sicily (Ionian Sea), throughout the processing of about 10 months of continuous acoustic monitoring. The recording of fin whale vocalizations was made possible by the cabled deep-sea multidisciplinary observatory, “NEMO-SN1”, deployed 25 km off the Catania harbor at a depth of about 2,100 meters. NEMO-SN1 is an operational node of the European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water-column Observatory (EMSO) Research Infrastructure. The observatory was equipped with a low-frequency hydrophone (bandwidth: 0.05 Hz–1 kHz, sampling rate: 2 kHz) which continuously acquired data from July 2012 to May 2013. About 7,200 hours of acoustic data were analyzed by means of spectrogram display. Calls with the typical structure and patterns associated to the Mediterranean fin whale population were identified and monitored in the area for the first time. Furthermore, a background noise analysis within the fin whale communication frequency band (17.9–22.5 Hz) was conducted to investigate possible detection-masking effects. The study confirms the hypothesis that fin whales are present in the Ionian Sea throughout all seasons, with peaks in call detection rate during spring and summer months. The analysis also demonstrates that calls were more frequently detected in low background noise conditions. Further analysis will be performed to understand whether observed levels of noise limit the acoustic detection of the fin whales vocalizations, or whether the animals vocalize less in the presence of high background noise.
