    Description: In this paper we summarize a number of risk pathway scenarios that are often claimed in literature as of priority for risk analyses in unconventional gas development. The resulting scenarios are structured in diagrams representing causal relationships between events. We argue that science is called to fill gaps regarding the main processes characterizing the involved events and defining the conditions under which their occurrence may be enhanced or inhibited. In this way, these scenarios can be more objectively parameterized, making their quantitative assessment a more feasible task and opening the way for the formulation of appropriate risk mitigation strategies.

    Description: Analysis of natural and anthRopoGenic risks on Offshore platforms (ARGO) is a 3-years project, funded by the Italian Ministry of Economic Development. The project, coordinated by AMRA, a permanent Research Centre for the development of innovative technologies applied to environmental problems, aims at providing technical-support for the analysis of natural and anthropogenic risks on offshore oil-platforms. ARGO has developed methodologies for the probabilistic analysis of industrial accidents triggered by natural events (NA-TECH) on offshore platforms. The final analysis of the ARGO Project suggest a constant monitoring of exploitation activity, fluids re-injection and storage using high technology networks.

    Description: Sicily hosts many natural manifestations that include thermal waters, gas discharges and mud volcanoes. Due to the significant geodynamic and geological differences, the fluid discharges along a NE-WS–oriented transect that run from the Peloritani Mts. to the Sciacca Plain shows a large variability in water and gas chemical and isotopic compositions. The studied waters are characterized by Ca-HCO3, Ca(Mg)-SO4, Ca-Cl and Na-Cl compositions produced by distinct geochemical processes such as water-rock-gas interactions, mixing between deep and shallow aquifers and seawater and direct and reverse ion exchanges. The gas chemistry is dominated by CO2 to the east and CO2-N2 to the west of the study area, whereas the central part shows mud volcanoes discharging CH4-rich gases. Water isotopes suggest that the thermal waters are fed by a meteoric recharge, although isotopic exchange processes between thermal fluids and host rocks at temperature 〉150°C are recognized. Accordingly, liquid geothermometry suggests equilibrium temperatures up to 220°C. The carbon in CO2 and helium isotopes of the emissions from the westernmost sector of Sicily indicate that these two gases consists of up to 40 % of a mantle component, the latter decreasing to the east down to 10% where CO2 of thermometamorphic origin dominates. Accordingly, conceptual models of the fluid circulation for the western, central and eastern sectors are proposed. The regional geothermal reservoir, hosted in carbonates in the western sector and locally outcropping, is of low to medium temperature. Higher temperature conditions (up to 200-220°C) are suggested by geothermometry and probably related to deeper levels of the system. Sicily can be regarded as a potentially suitable area for future investigations to evaluate specific activities aimed at exploiting the geothermal resource.

    Description: composite stratigraphic section ranging from the Messinian to the Pliocene, recording the most important phases of the Messinian Salinity Crisis, is represented in the San Miguel de Salinas area (Bajo Segura basin, SE Spain). Detailed magnetostratigraphic and facies analyses and foraminifer and nannoplankton assemblage studies were carried out. Integration of the results has allowed the characterization of the pre-evaporitic (synthem Messinian I), syn-evaporitic (synthem Messinian II), and post-evaporitic phases (synthem Pliocene) from a paleoenvironmental and chronostratigraphic standpoint. The pre-evaporitic phase is late Messinian and records a shallowing-upward trend. The syn-evaporitic phase took place in chron C3r and is characterized by laminated marls with intercalated selenitic gypsum beds and sandstones. Variations in foraminifer and nannoplankton assemblages together with episodic gypsum precipitation record major changes in water salinity in a stressed marine environment. The pre- and syn-evaporitic phases are separated by the intra-Messinian unconformity, represented by an erosional surface related with a sea-level fall. After the evaporitic phase, a sea-level fall generates the end-Messinian unconformity, whose strongly erosional nature is evidenced by the deeply carved paleovalley of San Miguel de Salinas. The post-evaporitic phase begins in the earliest Pliocene and records the re-establishment of normal marine conditions in the basin. Since the San Miguel de Salinas composite section can be considered as a benchmark for the study of the evolution of marginal Mediterranean basins during the Messinian Salinity Crisis, the detailed characterization of these different phases is of great importance in understanding this event.

    Description: While processes involved in the protohistoric briquetage at Puntone (Tuscany, Italy) have been reconstructed in detail, the age of this industry remained uncertain since materials suited for traditional dating (14C dating on charcoal and typological dating of ceramics) were very scarce. We attempted to assess its age by radiocarbon dating organic matter and carbonates in strata that were directly linked to the industry. Microbial DNA and C isotope analyses showed that the organic matter is dominantly composed of labile organic matter, of which the age is coeval with the briquetage industry. Carbonates had a complex origin and were overall unsuited for radiocarbon dating: Shells in process residues exhibited a large, uncertain ‘marine reservoir effect’, hampering their use for dating the industry; the secondary carbonates in these residues had a quite varied composition, including much more recent carbonate that precipitated from infiltrated lateral run-off, as could be concluded from C and Sr isotope analyses. Dates found that were deemed reliable (c. 1000–100 cal BCE) show that this ancient industry, which started in the Late Bronze Age - Early Iron Age (1107–841 cal BCE), extended into the Roman Republican period and was contemporary with the saltern-based larger scale salt industry in Central Lazio.

    Description: A statistical analysis of Loss of Lock (LoL) over Brazil throughout the 24th solar cycle is performed. Four geodetic GPS dual-frequency (L1, L2) receivers, deployed at different geographic latitudes ranging from about 25° to 2° South in the eastern part of the country, are used to investigate the LoL dependence on time of the day, season, solar and geomagnetic activity. The results of the analysis show that LoL is most likely in the post-sunset hours during summer and equinox, especially within the southern crest of the Equatorial Ionospheric Anomaly (EIA), in a region between about 10°S and 25°S of geographic latitude, matching the typical behaviour of scintillation over Brazil. This is confirmed by the correlation found between the relative occurrence of LoL (LoL (%)) and the Rate Of TEC Index (ROTI), used as a proxy of scintillation index and calculated for each receivers along the entire period of investigation. The LoL (%) for given solar and geomagnetic indices show some correlation with increasing the severity of the index. This correlation is strongest in the area of the southern crest of the EIA, while there is little to no apparent impact closer to the equator, depending on the index. LoL (%) increases with increasing geomagnetic disturbances, varying between ~1% and ~10% for AE ranged between 400 and 1200 nT, and exceeding 3% when Dst is around −100 nT, both related to moderate-severely disturbed conditions.

    Description: While mantle convection is a fundamental ingredient of geodynamics, the driving mechanism of plate tectonics remains elusive. Are plates driven only from the thermal cooling of the mantle or are there further astronomical forces acting on them? GPS measurements are now accurate enough that, on long baselines, both secular plate motions and periodic tidal displacements are visible. The now 〉20 year-long space geodesy record of plate motions allows a more accurate analysis of the contribution of the horizontal component of the body tide in shifting the lithosphere. We review the data and show that lithospheric plates retain a non-zero horizontal component of the solid Earth tidal waves and their speed correlates with tidal harmonics. High-frequency semidiurnal Earth's tides are likely contributing to plate motions, but their residuals are still within the error of the present accuracy of GNSS data. The low-frequency body tides rather show horizontal residuals equal to the relative motion among plates, proving the astronomical input on plate dynamics. Plates move faster with nu- tation cyclicities of 8.8 and 18.6 years that correlate to lunar apsides migration and nodal precession. The high- frequency body tides are mostly buffered by the high viscosity of the lithosphere and the underlying mantle, whereas low-frequency horizontal tidal oscillations are compatible with the relaxation time of the low-velocity zone and can westerly drag the lithosphere over the asthenospheric mantle. Variable angular velocities among plates are controlled by the viscosity anisotropies in the decoupling layer within the low-velocity zone. Tidal oscillations also correlate with the seismic release.

    Description: Many long-term monitoring sites in Antarctic regions, which deploy ground-based stratospheric remote sensors and fly radiosondes or ozonesondes on balloons, supported the Airborne Polar Experiment in September and October 1999. Support consisted of supplying data to the campaign in real time, and in some cases by increasing the frequency of measurements during the campaign. The results will strengthen scientific conclusions from the airborne measurements. But results from these sites are allowing important scientific studies of new aspects of the ozone hole in their own right, because like the aircraft and its campaign, many sites traverse the vortex edge and are close to the largest source of lee waves, or measure infrequently observed trace gases such as HNO3. Examples of such studies are the behaviour and value of NO2 in midwinter, ozone filamentation with no apparent horizontal advection, the frequency and amplitude of gravity waves over the Antarctic Peninsula, mixing in the lowest stratosphere in Antarctic spring, the mechanism and frequency of HNO3 enhancement above the ozone peak in midwinter, and trends in UV dose in southern South America.

    Description: In the last decades, a growing number of works has increasingly focused on the study of thermal waters using the approach described by Giggenbach (1988). Based on the dependence on temperature of the equilibrium constants, the Na-K-Mg diagram is the combination of the Na-K and K-Mg geothermometers. The pristine approach proposed by Giggenbach (1988) included several constraints for its successful application. In spite of this, the Na-K-Mg diagram is often used out of the boundaries conditions of applicability. In order to promote a proper use of the diagram, a detailed description is given and several examples of mixing, dilution and concentration are discussed. The obtained findings highlight the need of cautiousness when using the diagram to estimate temperature of hydrothermal systems.

    Description: Vesiculation of crystallising magma can produce either a mobile vesicular magma or a rigid network of crystals containing vesicular liquid. Where partially crystallized rigid mush underlies less-crystallized magma, such as near the base of a lava flow or in the cumulus pile of a magma chamber, evolved interstitial melt and/or gas may escape into the main body of magma. The consequences of this may include contamination of the overlying liquid with gas and interstitial melt, or intrusion of diapirs of vesicular evolved liquids to form vertical vesicle cylinders and other segregation features found in many basaltic lava flows and sills. Analog experiments were used to investigate some of the phenomena that can arise during vesiculation within a crystal mush, which was simulated by pumping air through a porous plate that formed the floor of a container filled with a viscous liquid floored with a layer of glass beads. Experiments used either a single liquid or two stably stratified liquids with a liquid interface either coincident with the top of the porous layer of beads or slightly above the porous layer. For a range of liquid viscosities and air flow rates (vesiculation rates), individual bubbles emerged from the top of the porous layer of beads and carried a thin trail of interstitial liquid into the overlying liquid. The number of bubble trains leaving the surface of the porous bed increased with decreasing liquid viscosity and flow rate, and with increasing bead size (and, hence, with increasing permeability). Analog vesicle cylinders, composed of diapirs of bubbly interstitial liquid, were produced only when a layer of buoyant bubbly liquid lay above the surface of the porous layer. The relative size of the bubbles and constrictions within the porous layer are argued to control whether individual bubbles (leading to bubble trains) or vesicular liquid (leading to vesicle cylinders) leaves the porous layer and hence whether vesicle cylinders can form.
