Groundwater sustainable yield is a concept widely treated theoretically in the literature. Moving from theoretical concepts to definition of practical measures for groundwater management not easy due site-specific characteristics system. This study aimed at identifying which factors influence plain Tivoli (Central Italy), where thermal springs with considerable flow (over 2 m3/s) emerge (or rat...

Mapping in the Homs region of Syria has revealed a hitherto unrecognized staircase of at least 12 gravel terraces of the upper Orontes River. The terrace gravels overlie Pliocene lacustrine marl and have been calcareously cemented into conglomerates, sometimes interbedded with cemented fine-grained alluvium. A tentative dating scheme, based on modelling the regional-scale surface uplift that ha...

This paper argues that banks must be sufficiently levered to have first-best incentives to make new risky loans. This result, which is at odds with the notion that leverage invariably leads to excessive risk taking, derives from two key premises that focus squarely on the role of banks as informed lenders. First, banks finance projects that they do not own, which implies that they cannot extrac...

3D modelling is a fundamental tool to visualize and understand the history of sedimentary basin filling reconstruct geobody architecture. Spatial distribution discontinuity surfaces characteristics provide valuable information on factors controlling evolution basins. Several Neogene-Quaternary basins central-western Italy are controlled by extensional strike-slip tectonics characterized travert...
