Organizzazione e guida scientifica dell'escursione LATE QUATERNARY DEPOSITIONAL EVOLUTION OF THE PO DELTA AND VENICE LAGOON AREAS, Field Trip N. 8 dell'International Association of Sedimentologist Congress, Alghero 2009.

Abstract

Stratigraphy, sedimentology, and geomorphology of Holocene sedimentary bodies in the high sediment-input Po Delta area and in the sediment starved Venice Lagoon region. The impact of the eustatic and climatic fluctuations on the depositional history will be addressed and the implications of the stratigraphic knowledge for the environmental management of these fragile coastal areas discussed. The dynamic interaction of the depositional processes with the urban growth of the historic towns of Venice and Ferrara are also examined
