THE COURSE IS MADE OF THREE MODULES. THE FIRST MODULE PROVIDES THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE STRATIGRAPHIC NOMENCLATURE. THE MAIN FEATURES OF THE STRTIGRAPHIC UNITS ARE DESCRIBED AND THEIR USE IS GAINED DURING THE EXERCISES. THE SECOND MODULE PROVIDES THE PRINCIPLES OF THE SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY WITH APPLICATIONS TO DIFFERENT SEDIMENTARY ENVIRONMENTS AND TO SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHY. THIS MODULE ALSO PROVIDES THE PRINCIPLES OF CYCLOSTRATIGRAPHY AND ASTROCHRONOLOGY. THESE CONCEPTS ARE EXAMINED IN CASE STUDIES FROM LITERATURE. THE THIRD MODULE IS DEDICATED TO REGIONAL STRATIGRAPHY. STARTING FROM A PALAEOGEOGRAPHIC RECONSTRUCTION OF THE MESOZOIC TETHYAN AREA, AN IDEAL ROUTE TROUGH THE MAIN SEDIMENTARY DOMAINS IS FOLLOWED. IN PARTICULAR, THE MAIN BASIN SUCCESSIONS (LA SPEZIA, TOSCANA, UMBRIA-MARCHE, LAGONEGRO AND MOLISE, IMERESE-SICANO BASIN) ARE EXAMINED. SOME CASES OF PELAGIC CARBONATE PLATFORM AND THE TRANSITION PLATFORM/BASIN OF THE GARGANO SUCCESSION ARE STUDIED TOO. FINALLY, THE STRATIGRAPHY OF THE LATIUM-ABRUZZI AND DOLOMITES CARBONATE PLATFORMS IS INVESTIGATED.

THE COURSE IS DEVOTED TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH TOOLS AND METHODS TO IDENTIFY THE ANTHROPIC IMPACT ON NATURAL GEOCHEMICAL CYCLES OF ELEMENTS AND CHEMICALS. IT IS ORGANISED INTO THREE MAIN SECTIONS ON WATER POLLUTION, ATMOSPHERIC PROCESSES AND ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOGEOCHEMISTRY.
THE COURSE OPENS WITH THE ILLUSTRATION OF TWO CASE-STUDIES ABOUT ACCIDENTAL SPILLS IN THE SUBSOIL OF TWO CHEMICALS (CR-VI AND ACETONE CYANOYDRIN), WITH FOLLOWING SOIL AND GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION. MONITORING ACTIONS TO IDENTIFY THE EXTENSION OF THE PLUME AND REMEDIATION APPROACHES ARE INTRODUCED. THESE EXAMPLES ARE USED TO PRESENT THE BASIC S OF ENVIRONMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY: SORPTION ONTO MINERAL CLAYS, ORGANIC MATTER AND FE/AL/MN OXIDES/HYDROXIDES; GEOCHEMICAL MOBILITY AND RELATED PARAMETERS; NATURAL GEOCHEMICAL BASELINES AND THE USE OF A SPECIFIC CHEMICAL MAPPING. CONTAMINATION FROM HEAVY METALS (PB AND HG).

THE COURSE IS MADE OF THREE MODULES. THE FIRST MODULE PROVIDES THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE STRATIGRAPHIC NOMENCLATURE. THE MAIN FEATURES OF THE STRTIGRAPHIC UNITS ARE DESCRIBED AND THEIR USE IS GAINED DURING THE EXERCISES. THE SECOND MODULE PROVIDES THE PRINCIPLES OF THE SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY WITH APPLICATIONS TO DIFFERENT SEDIMENTARY ENVIRONMENTS AND TO SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHY. THIS MODULE ALSO PROVIDES THE PRINCIPLES OF CYCLOSTRATIGRAPHY AND ASTROCHRONOLOGY. THESE CONCEPTS ARE EXAMINED IN CASE STUDIES FROM LITERATURE. THE THIRD MODULE IS DEDICATED TO REGIONAL STRATIGRAPHY. STARTING FROM A PALAEOGEOGRAPHIC RECONSTRUCTION OF THE MESOZOIC TETHYAN AREA, AN IDEAL ROUTE TROUGH THE MAIN SEDIMENTARY DOMAINS IS FOLLOWED. IN PARTICULAR, THE MAIN BASIN SUCCESSIONS (LA SPEZIA, TOSCANA, UMBRIA-MARCHE, LAGONEGRO AND MOLISE, IMERESE-SICANO BASIN) ARE EXAMINED. SOME CASES OF PELAGIC CARBONATE PLATFORM AND THE TRANSITION PLATFORM/BASIN OF THE GARGANO SUCCESSION ARE STUDIED TOO. FINALLY, THE STRATIGRAPHY OF THE LATIUM-ABRUZZI AND DOLOMITES CARBONATE PLATFORMS IS INVESTIGATED.

THE COURSE IS MADE OF THREE MODULES. THE FIRST MODULE PROVIDES THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE STRATIGRAPHIC NOMENCLATURE. THE MAIN FEATURES OF THE STRTIGRAPHIC UNITS ARE DESCRIBED AND THEIR USE IS GAINED DURING THE EXERCISES. THE SECOND MODULE PROVIDES THE PRINCIPLES OF THE SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY WITH APPLICATIONS TO DIFFERENT SEDIMENTARY ENVIRONMENTS AND TO SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHY. THIS MODULE ALSO PROVIDES THE PRINCIPLES OF CYCLOSTRATIGRAPHY AND ASTROCHRONOLOGY. THESE CONCEPTS ARE EXAMINED IN CASE STUDIES FROM LITERATURE. THE THIRD MODULE IS DEDICATED TO REGIONAL STRATIGRAPHY. STARTING FROM A PALAEOGEOGRAPHIC RECONSTRUCTION OF THE MESOZOIC TETHYAN AREA, AN IDEAL ROUTE TROUGH THE MAIN SEDIMENTARY DOMAINS IS FOLLOWED. IN PARTICULAR, THE MAIN BASIN SUCCESSIONS (LA SPEZIA, TOSCANA, UMBRIA-MARCHE, LAGONEGRO AND MOLISE, IMERESE-SICANO BASIN) ARE EXAMINED. SOME CASES OF PELAGIC CARBONATE PLATFORM AND THE TRANSITION PLATFORM/BASIN OF THE GARGANO SUCCESSION ARE STUDIED TOO. FINALLY, THE STRATIGRAPHY OF THE LATIUM-ABRUZZI AND DOLOMITES CARBONATE PLATFORMS IS INVESTIGATED.
