    The use of shallow dripwater as an isotopic marker of seepage in karst areas: A comparison between Western Sicily (Italy) and the Harz Mountains (Germany) (2013)
    Elsevier Science Limited
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-12-15
    Description: determined for evaluating its possible use as an isotopic tracer of the local groundwater recharge. These spot measures were compared with a longer series of local rain and spring compositions and with other samples taken, under different hydrogeological conditions, in caves of the Harz Mountains (Northern Germany). The slow flowing dripwater from Sicily showed d18O/dD ratios similar to those of local rain and groundwater, demonstrating that these three are all parent waters. A parallel similarity was found in the vertical isotopic gradient (Dd18O) of the three groups of water, accounting for their common meteoric origin. In the colder Harz Region, dripwater, spring water and rain have the same d18O/dD ratio but fast flowing dripwater, infiltrating through open cracks, is significantly enriched in lighter isotopes and representative of short residence time percolation. These results lead to the conclusion that dripwater, even if collected as spot samples, can be considered as a good isotopic marker of the average local groundwater recharge on the condition that only slow, diffused drips due to seepages are sampled.

    From compression to extension during the Sicily chain building (2010)
    Società Geologica Italiana
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Kinematics of mountain belts is often very difficult to decipher. Main problems consist in the linkage between different stages of deformation which define the chain building, their significance in the context of lithospheric evolution dominate by plate collision and the interaction with previous structures recorded in the rocks. Also, the overprinting of structures developing later with respect to the chain building may further makes complicate the way to unravel the tectonic evolution of the wedge. In Sicily belt, located in the Central Mediterranean, the regional pattern and the tectonic evolution are described using structural analysis of small-scale structures in selected outcrops. The geometric differences existing between some types of structures within the belt allow to delineate the timing of deformations during chain building.

    Integrated neotectonic and morphometric analysis of northern Sicily (2007)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Sicily is characterised by active deformations, as suggested by the presence of very recent faulted deposits and by widespread seismicity. The northern portion of the Sicilian belt has undergone strike-slip tectonics since the Pliocene, as the effect of the south Tyrrhenian border dynamics. Integrated methodologies of analysis have been utilised to evaluate the neotectonic setting of the northern sector of the island. To this aim, we have elaborated mesostructural, morphotectonic and morphometric data obtained from field survey, photogeological analysis and from the elaboration of digital elevation model (DEM) data relative to 31 drainage basins. The data sets have been compared with the uplift rate and seismicity distributions, allowing us to recognise different crustal blocks into which the northern Sicily chain may be divided. Each block of the chain reflects the characteristic morphometric pattern of the drainage basins. The morphostructural setting, the distribution of seismicity and the orientation of the recent faults indicate that the main narrow neotectonic deformation zones bounding the crustal blocks range from NW-SE, NE-SW and W-E.

    Isotopic composition of single rain events in the central Mediterranean (2008)
    AGU
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The ratios of stable isotopes of single rain events were investigated during the period October 2005 to September 2006 in the central Mediterranean. Clear seasonal trends were identified in both oxygen isotope ratios and the deuterium-excess parameter, and these were ascribed to the dominant circulation systems during both cold and hot intraannual periods. Rain events were classified on the basis of the origin of rain-bearing systems. Air masses coming from the south usually give rise to rainwater with a low deuterium excess. Air masses coming from the north and the northeast are often dry and cold, and are associated with high evaporation from the Mediterranean Sea that occurs under isotopic nonequilibrium conditions. Kinetic fractionation enhances lighter isotopomers in the vapor phase, increasing the deuterium excess. During cold periods large vapor fluxes from the Mediterranean Sea, as estimated by the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts), usually precede rain events with a high deuterium excess. However, the isotope signatures of the Mediterranean moisture contribution may be masked by the original isotope content of the circulating air masses and/or by secondary evaporation effects.

    Stable isotope ratios in meteoric recharge and groundwater at Mt. Vulture volcano, southern Italy (2008)
    Elsevier
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: A rain gauge network consisting of five sites located at different altitudes, ranging from 320 to 1285 m.a.s.l., was installed at Mt. Vulture volcano (southern Italy). Rain water samples were collected monthly over a two-year period and their isotopic composition (d18O and dD) was analyzed. During the same period, circulating groundwater was sampled from 24 springs and wells distributed throughout the study area. Monthly isotopic composition values were used to determine the local meteoric water line (LMWL). Its slope is slightly lower than the relationship defined by Longinelli and Selmo (Longinelli, A., Selmo, E., 2003. Isotopic composition of precipitation in Italy: a first overall map. J. Hydrol. 270, 75–88) for southern Italy. The groundwater samples analyzed were distributed essentially along the LMWL. The weighted local meteoric water line (WLMWL), defined through the mean values weighted by the rainfall amount, however, may define in a short range the meteoric end-member in the local hydrological cycle more precisely. Since most of the groundwater sampling locations do not show seasonal variations in their stable isotope values, the flow system appears to be relatively homogeneous. The mean altitude of the recharge by rainfall infiltration was estimated on the basis of the local vertical isotopic gradient d18O. A few springs, which show anomalous isotopic values, reveal more regional circulation systems, associated with tectonic structures responsible for the ascent of deeper water.

    Active geodynamics of the central Mediterranean Sea: Tensional tectonic evidences in western Sicily from mantle-derived helium (2005)
    American Geophysical Union
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: We report results on the measured high 3He/4He isotope ratio in western Sicily, interpreted together with the heat data. The study of this sector of the Europe-Africa interaction is crucial to a better understanding of the tectonics and the geodynamical evolution of the central Mediterranean area. The estimated mantle-derived helium fluxes in the investigated areas are up to 2–3 orders of magnitude greater than those of a stable continental area. The highest flux, found in the southernmost area near the Sicily Channel, where recent eruptions of the Ferdinandea Island occurred 20 miles out to sea off Sciacca, has been associated with a clear excess of heat flow. Our results indicate that there is an accumulation of magma below the continental crust of western Sicily that is possibly intruding and out-gassing through roughly N-S trending deep fault systems linked to the mantle, that have an extensional component. Although the identification of these faults is not sufficiently constrained by our data, they could possibly be linked to the pre-existing faults that originated during the Mesozoic extensional-transtensional tectonic phases.

    Isotopic composition of the precipitations in the central Mediterranean: origin marks and orographic precipitation effects (2007)
    Agu
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The isotopic composition of the rainfall in northwestern Sicily (Italy, central Mediterranean) was investigated in the period February 2002 to March 2003. A rain gauge network was installed and sampled monthly. The monthly values of the D and 18O ratios showed a wide range that reflected seasonal climatic variations. Mean weighted values were used to define an isotopic model of precipitation. Temporal variations in deuterium excess were also investigated. Using mean volume weighted values, the Local Meteoric Water Line (LMWL) can be represented by the equation: dD = 4.7d18O 8.2 (r2 = 0.96). Deuterium excess (d = dD 8d18O) was found to be strongly related to orography. The coastline samples were characterized by mean weighted deuterium excess values close to 12.5%; samples from inland areas showed values of 16%, while samples taken from the main reliefs showed values close to 19%. In inland areas, isotopic exchange between raindrops and moisture could shift the deuterium excess values slightly. On the higher reliefs, the interaction between falling raindrops and orographic clouds could shift the deuterium excess values significantly. The low slope of the LMWL could be referred to the high deuterium excess values of the higher sites and is related to orographic precipitation rather than to evaporation processes during the fall of the raindrops. The results obtained suggest that local orographic features may significantly change the isotopic composition of precipitation.

    Evoluzione tettonica mesozoico-terziaria della Sicilia centrosettentrionale (2010)
    Società Geologica Italiana
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Sicily owes its complex geological structure to a switch in tectonic regime from the Mesozoic to the Tertiary. A set of tectonic units outcrops in the northern portion of the island that originated during the Tertiary at the expense of paleogeographic domains of the African Mesozoic continental margin. The pre-orogenic successions show different types of deformation (extensional and transcurrent) related to the Jurassic paleotectonic evolution of the southern Neotethys margin. The history of the tectonic inversion of the Neotethys shear zone is recorded in the Cretaceous strata. Extension occurred during late Cretaceous and may be compatible with the tensile stress field related to the Sicilide basin opening. The Neogene deformations are linked to collisional processes and are mostly represented by thrusts and folds. Since the late Miocene onwards, the formation of the Tyrrhenian basin has driven the recent tectonic evolution of Northern Sicily. Its basin formation was realised through extension, followed by transcurrent tectonics along its southern margin.

    Neotectonic uplift and tilting of crustal blocks in Northern Sicily (2010)
    Società Geologica Italiana
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: La Sicilia settentrionale è caratterizzata da un’intensa attività sismica che è espressione di deformazioni attive. In questo settore dell’Isola affiora il nucleo della catena neogenica delle Magrebidi occidentali, che è sottoposto ad intenso sollevamento durante il Plio-Pleistocene. Le deformazioni più recenti sono, in gran parte, rappresentate da sistemi di faglie estensionali e trascorrenti. Il tasso di sollevamento non è uniforme, così come suggerisce la differente elevazione dei depositi di questo periodo. Essi affiorano lungo il settore costiero settentrionale e la loro quota decresce complessivamente dall’estremità nord-est a quella nord-ovest della Sicilia. Le deformazioni più recenti possono essere riconosciute sia attraverso l’analisi strutturale che tramite quella morfometrica. Lo studio integrato di queste due metodologie qui presentato è stato realizzato anche attraverso l’elaborazione informatizzata del modello di elevazione digitale della superficie topografica (DEM). I dati strutturali e morfometrici indicano che in Sicilia settentrionale vi è una stretta relazione tra l’attività delle faglie neotettoniche e le forme dei rilievi. Il loro confronto con alcune caratteristiche idrografiche, con la sismicità e con la distribuzione dei tassi di sollevamento suggerisce che la catena siciliana settentrionale risulta segmentata da sistemi di taglio radicati che perimetrano blocchi crostali. In particolare, la variazione di alcuni parametri morfometrici hanno permesso di identificare distinti settori di catena omogenei, ciascuno dei quali è soggetto a differenti tassi di sollevamento e di direzioni di basculamento.
