This guide is a 5-day geotraverse across the Central Apennines, which expose inherited Meso-Cenozoic sedimentary successions and tectonic architecture of Apennine Tethyan passive margin. structure was progressively involved into orogenic post-orogenic tectonics, related to Tyrrhenian back-arc dynamics. To show different margin dynamics, we present: 1) sedimentologic stratigraphic aspects, 2) re...

Areas of the Mediterranean Sea are dynamic habitats in which human activities have been conducted for centuries and feature micro-tidal environments with about 0.40 m range. For this reason, settlements still concentrated along a narrow coastline strip, where any change sea level coastal dynamics may impact anthropic activities. We analyzed light detection ranging (LiDAR) Copernicus Earth obser...

Sometimes, when it is impossible to perform a direct measurement, it is critical to obtain an estimate of the indoor gamma dose rate with adequate accuracy and precision. With a method we set up – the IN-OUT method – it is possible to estimate the indoor gamma dose rate attributable to building materials. Gamma dose rates are measured in contact with an external wall of a dwelling, and then a “...
