- Abstract
An in-depth study was carried out on the evolution of the emission points and active deposits of the Nirano mud volcanoes (Italy) by means of bibliographic research, photo-interpretation of multiscalar and multitem - poral remote sensing imagery and detailed field survey. In addition, subsurface geological data were collected and interpreted for reconstructing the local geological model. These investigations led to the elaboration of a geological-geomorphological map, at a 1:5000 scale, of the Nirano mud volcano area. Among various features, this map shows all the emission points, distinguished as cones and pools, and the main alignments that characterise the mud volcanoes and correspond to joint systems through which mud mixed with gas comes to the surface.
