- Abstract
This paper presents major gaps and challenges for implementing the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) in the Mediterranean region. The authors make recommendations on the scientific knowledge needs and co-design actions identified during two consultations, part of the Decade preparatory-phase, framing them in the Mediterranean Sea’s unique environmental and socio-economic perspectives. According to the ‘Mediterranean State of the Environment and Development Report 2020’ by the United Nations Environment Programme Mediterranean Action Plan and despite notable progress, the Mediterranean region is not on track to achieve and fully implement the Sustainable Development Goals of Agenda 2030. Key factors are the cumulative effect of multiple human-induced pressures that threaten the ecosystem resources and services in the global change scenario. The basin, identified as a climate change vulnerability hotspot, is exposed to pollution and rising impacts of climate change. This affects mainly the coastal zones, at increasing risk of extreme events and their negative effects of unsustainable management of key economic assets. Transitioning to a sustainable blue economy is the key for the marine environment’s health and the nourishment of future generations. This challenging context, offering the opportunity of enhancing the knowledge to define science-based measures as well as narrowing the gaps between the Northen and Southern shores, calls for a joint (re)action. The paper reviews the state of the art of Mediterranean Sea science knowledge, sets of trends, capacity development needs, specific challenges, and recommendations for each Decade’s societal outcome. In the conclusions, the proposal for a Mediterranean regional programme in the framework of the Ocean Decade is addressed. The core objective relies on integrating and improving the existing ocean-knowledge, Ocean Literacy, and ocean observing capacities building on international cooper

Mar Tirreno centrale ,Fiume Volturno ,ecosistemi marino-costieri - Abstract
This paper describes the results of the activities performed during the project PONa3_00363 I-AMICA (High Technology Infrastructure for Climate and Environment Monitoring; www.i-amica.it), as part of the activities of Development Objective 4.4 (Processes of the biosphere-hydrosphere interface and features of coastal ecosystems). Through the strengthening of scientific-technological infrastructure and equipment, I-AMICA was planned to increase the observational capacity of the monitoring of marine coastal ecosystems, particularly vulnerable in the sensitive Mediterranean area and strictly connected to the natural and anthropic continental system. For this reason research activities were mainly focused on the neritic environment adjacent to the shelf area of the Volturno River mouth (Gulf of Gaeta - central part of the Tyrrhenian Sea). Advanced knowledge on the dynamics in time of marine coastal ecosystems, in relation to the physical, chemical and biological processes that characterize their habitat, were acquired while new methods of integrated monitoring, in relation to the specific characteristics of the study area, were tested. Particular attention was given to the identification of bio-indicators in water column and sediment at sea floor. The monitoring was also integrated by studies on the shoreline changes, seismic stratigraphy of deltaic deposits and by sedimentology and morpho-bathymetry of the seabed., Vengono presentati i risultati dell’attività di monitoraggio svolta nel corso del progetto PONa3_00363 I-AMICA (Infrastruttura di Alta tecnologia per il Monitoraggio Integrato Climatico-Ambientale; www.i-amica.it/i-amica/), nell’ambito delle attività relative all’Obiettivo Realizzativo 4.4 (Processi di interfaccia biosfera-idrosfera e funzionalità degli ecosistemi costieri). L’attività, che ha avuto come scopo l’acquisizione di conoscenze avanzate sulle dinamiche e/o variazioni nel tempo degli ecosistemi marino-costieri in relazione ai processi fisici, chimici e biologici che caratterizzano il loro habitat, si è sviluppata attraverso la sperimentazione di nuove metodologie di monitoraggio in relazione alle specifiche caratteristiche dell’area marino-costiera prospiciente la foce del fiume Volturno (Golfo di Gaeta). In particolare, oltre che sulle tecniche di monitoraggio classiche, lo studio si è principalmente focalizzato sulla acquisizione ed interpretazione di dati ambientali sia in colonna d’acqua che nei sedimenti a fondo mare e sulla identificazione di specie e/o associazioni di specie significative (bio-indicatori) da un punto di vista ambientale ed indicative dello stato di salute del sistema costiero. Poiché il sistema costiero rappresenta una struttura naturale complessa e delicata, la cui evoluzione è il risultato di delicati equilibri fisici, chimici e biologici, fortemente condizionabili dagli interventi antropici, l’attività di monitoraggio è stata integrata da studi sulla variazione della linea di costa, da studi sismostratigrafici della piana deltizia, sedimentologici e morfo-batimetrici dei fondali.

- Abstract
In the recent years, Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) have proved their usefulness in particular to collect data for marine research and environmental survey. The use of these controlled remotely platforms, without direct human control, have improved the capacity to image, and monitor the seabed and the costalmarine environment. Outfitted with different instruments (payload), the USVs are used for marine, river and lake activities, such as environmental monitoring, water quality sampling, hydrologic survey, target tracking and scientific survey [Bertram, 2008; Manley, 2008; Giordano et al., 2015]. Other fields of application include harbor surveillance, maritime search, rescue and natural disaster damage assessment [Steimle et al., 2009]. One of the first USV was ARTEMIS, designed in 1993 at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sea Grant Collage) [Manley, 1997] to collect bathymetric data and it was characterized by a propulsion system with two electric motors and a rudder servant-implemented. The USV was equipped by an automatic control of the heading and an autonomous navigation capacity through reference points (waypoints). Its small dimension (about 1.37m long) was the main shortcoming, limiting the endurance and the sea keeping. Following the development of ARTEMIS, to improve the transverse stability and to design more payload capacity and redundancy as regards the buoyancy, MIT adapted the catamaran shape for the hull and removed the rudder; the steering is based on a differential propeller revolution rate. After the MIT, several USVs were designed within many research projects. Among these, other USV were realized. The DELFIM, capable of working in close cooperation with an Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) [Pascoal et al., 2000] and the ROAZ, ROAZ II, that, set up for bathymetry survey, were designed to allow testing and validation of new developments in monitoring, coordinating multi-vehicle navigation, sampling and other research topics related to marine surface vehicles [Ferreira et al., 2006a, 2009]. Further developed concerned the SWORDFISH, MESSIN and SPRINGER vehicles. The SWORDFISH [Ferreira et al., 2006b, 2007] is a survey vehicle, with modular sensor payloads and a mobile gateway for air to underwater communication. The MESSIN [Majhor and Buch, 2006] is a catamaran dedicated to delivering sensors for oceanographic operations or hydrological mapping. The vehicle is suitable to operate in very shallow water, without destructive effects on the marine environment. The autonomous navigation system allows following the pre-programmed routes efficiently. The SPRINGER was developed in 2004 [Naeem et al., 2006; 2008] for tracking of pollutants, hydrographical surveys in rivers, water resources and coastal waters. As marine platform, SPRINGER was designed to be used also as a test-bed for intelligent navigation systems and for testing of new technologies for the sensors. Several developments in the modelling of twin hull USVs were presented also by the CNR-ISSIA (Italy) [Caccia et al., 2006] that within the SESAMO project designed the catamaran Charlie for sampling activity in the Antarctic Region [Caccia et al., 2006]. This technical report describes an innovative and integrated prototype system of Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) for advanced environmental monitoring; the water platform’s is developed at the Coastal Marine Environmental Institute – National Research Council (Italy), within the Project: Integrated Systems and Technologies for Geophysical and Environmental Monitoring in coastal-marine areas (STIGEAC), in the framework of the National Operational Programs 2007-2013. The project concerns in the research of new technologies and the design of vehicles, for the surveys of the coastal marine environment, understood as a “multipurpose” laboratory for sea research with characteristics of modularity and portability. The goal involves not only the execution of scientific and technological research but also for the valorization of marine cultural heritage, for industrial activity and for emergency interventions related to environmental crises. Major innovations concern the design of a new architecture of the control system and/or to allow the cooperation between heterogeneous unmanned vehicles, the integration of distributed sensing techniques and real-time image processing capabilities [Marsella et al., 2015].

- Abstract
Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems - RPAS [ICAO, 2011], usually called drones, are an emerging technology presenting a huge potential for innovative research in territory management. These systems will revolutionize most of the environmental studies (e.g. population ecology, vegetation dynamics, ecosystem processes, etc.) that are improved by remote sensing data, overcoming satellite-based data that provide not easy repeatable information and only at regional/global scale (from about 50-100 km up to 10.000 km). RPAS or Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS1) history begun in 1916 (i.e. the Wright brothers HewittSperry Automatic airplane) and it has been mainly unfolded until today thanks to military applications [Colomina and Molina, 2014; Pappot and de Boer, 2015]. Nowadays, UAS based technology is rapidly developing in the industrial market and in civil applications for several kind of monitoring services (i.e. traffic monitoring, border surveillance, environmental monitoring, imaging and mapping, archaeology, search and rescue operations, etc.) [Valavanis and Vachtsevanos, 2015]. Moreover, the use of drones, in the global consumable market is continually growing due to the integration on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platforms of high performance processors, sensors and electronic devices with lower and lower power consumption. Mainly, light Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPASs) are used in several application fields due to their low weight and low size.

Mendoza, efectos de sitio, columna resonante, microzonificación - Abstract
Este trabajo resume la amplia actividad experimental y de cálculo, desarrollada para evaluar la respuesta sísmica local en la Ciudad de Mendoza y sus alrededores incluyendo metodologías innovativas. El principal aporte consiste en sintetizar los resultados obtenidos con el objetivo final de actualizar la Microzonificación Sísmica de Mendoza, a partir de la existente (no vigente) realizada por INPRES en 1989. El área urbana bajo estudio está ubicada en la región centro occidental argentina, se desarrolla en una cuenca aluvial cuaternaria de varios centenares de metros de espesor y presenta actividad sísmica tanto de subducción como cortical con terremotos históricos cercanos muy fuertes y destructivos. Como parte del trabajo, se integró información estratigráfica, litológica y geofísica preexistente con información recientemente obtenida a partir de investigaciones cuidadosamente planificadas y seleccionadas a fin de establecer los aspectos más críticos de cada sitio, dando lugar a modelos geotécnicos apropiadamente representativos. Las investigaciones de campaña incluyeron sondeos y pozos excavados manualmente así como distintos métodos geosísmicos. Se destaca la ejecución de ensayos de laboratorio de columna resonante y de corte torsional. Se establecieron acelerogramas compatibles con el peligro sísmico del área teniendo en cuenta las condiciones de campo cercano y se aplicaron como solicitaciones (input) en los modelos geotécnicos de respuesta unidimensional. Los resultados se resumen en términos de espectros y distribuciones espaciales de amplificaciones de las aceleraciones sísmicas extremas e intensidad de Housner computadas en el rango de 0,1 a 0,7seg, representativas de la mayor parte de las estructuras edilicias de la ciudad de Mendoza.

The technical report describes the recent application of Electrical Resistivity (ERT) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), for reconstructing buried structural geometries of a cultural heritage site in the city of Napoli, characterized by complex environmental and logistic conditions. The investigated site is the Carmine bell tower, located in the East seaside area of Naples (Italy), close to the neighboring magnificent church. The electromagnetic surveys were finalized to detect the foundation geometry of the high monumental bell tower resting on loose alluvial and pyroclastic soils. In fact, such non-invasive methods can assist the geotechnical engineers in the detection of foundation geometry when cultural heritage needs to be preserved and penetrating investigation tools (such as boreholes) must be avoided or, at least, their impact reduced to the minimum.

- Abstract
The dispersion curves of surface waves have been successfully used for the characterization of the shallow subsurface for decades. Three steps are involved in utilizing dispersion curves of surface waves for imaging geological profiles: 1. implemented the experimental procedure, 2. create efficient and accurate algorithms organized in a basic data processing sequence designed to extract surface wave dispersion curves from accelerometric records, and 3. develop stable and efficient multimodal inversion algorithms to obtain shear wave velocity profiles. This dissertation focuses on the third step, the inversion of the dispersion curves of surface waves, with the aim of searching the best procedure to get a more accurate and reliable estimate of the geological material properties. The inversion actually is comprised of two sub-steps: 3a) estimate a model employing the theory of surface wave propagation and mathematical optimization; 3b) appraise the model for its accuracy, either deterministically or statistically. One of the major goals of this study is to find the shallow S-wave velocity structure that explains the observed dispersion curves of surface waves. This is achieved by a multimodal inversion that involves the minimization of the cost/objective function that characterizes the differences between observed and calculated dispersion data. Due to discrete nature of inversion problems, the model obtained from the inversion of the data is therefore not necessarily equal to the true model that one seeks. This implies that for realistic problems inversion really consists of model estimation followed by model appraisal. General speaking, there are three catalogs of inversion techniques based on the internal physical principle of the geotechnical problems: linear inversions, non-linear inversions, and trial and error methods. It is common to present the inverted Vs profile as a unique profile without showing a range of possible solutions or some type of error bars, su

Modelling of soil shear rupture due to an earthquake is not generally implemented in the common codes for 1D seismic response analysis. It requires the use of advanced plasticity-based constitutive models of soil, that are often neglected in practice. A good balance between simplicity and reliability can be achieved with methods based on simplified formulations of the mathematical equations and of the constitutive models. The paper presents a computer code based on this philosophy conceived, addressed and optimised to reliably model both the ‘transient’ seismic response (‘stick’ mode) and the permanent deformation mechanisms accounting for the coupled effects of deformability and strength (‘slip’ mode). The code can be adopted to evaluate the seismic performance of different geotechnical systems that can be reasonably approximated to a 1D problem. In the paper, the code is applied to model a soft-storey failure occurred in a framed structure heavily damaged during a strong-motion earthquake.

A rational evaluation of the seismic risk of urban areas cannot neglect the variability of the ground motion due to site amplification and the induced effects, such as soil liquefaction and slope stability. In this framework, the microzonation maps certainly represent the most adequate tool to account for this element in the seismic risk and for planning mitigation strategies. This study shows the preliminary results of a multidisciplinary research, which deals with the seismic microzonation of the Western area of Napoli. The selected case study is a challenging choice, as the seismic hazard is affected by both tectonic and volcanic seismicity, which in historical time differently affected the urban setting. The latter, in turn, results highly heterogeneous, as consisting of a mixing of both masonry and concrete structures. The adopted approach followed the recommendations of both the National and International Guidelines, with reference to the multi-levels methods. The collection, homogenization and synthesis of a significant number of existing data permitted the development of reliable geological and geotechnical subsoil models, leading to Grade I and II seismic microzonation maps, characterized by different expected amplification of ground motion and instability due to the liquefaction. Such maps represent a key for a quantitative assessment of seismic performance of buildings and infrastructures, in view of the expected urban requalification of the area.

The paper describes two recent examples of application of Electrical Resistivity (ERT) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), for reconstructing buried subsoil and structural geometries in two historical sites in the city of Napoli. Both investigation sites were characterized by complex environmental and logistic conditions. The first case study was an ancient hypogean cavity excavated in the tuff, where the integration between ERT and GPR allowed to identify the depth of the soft rock below the natural and anthropic filling. The second investigation was finalized to detect the foundation geometry of a high monumental bell tower resting on loose alluvial and pyroclastic soils. In both cases, the joint interpretation of ERT and GPR tests confirmed the preliminary knowledge on the subsoil and addressed further direct investigation aimed at the stability and safety of the historical sites.

During the Abruzzo earthquake (6.IV.2009, MW = 6.3), the village of Castelnuovo, lying on an elliptical hill about 60 m high, underwent an intensive damage (IMCS = 9–10), that could be partly ascribed to the topographic amplification and to the presence of an underground cavity network. To verify these hypotheses, the seismic response of the hill was carefully investigated adopting both 2D and 3D finite difference numerical models. Analyses were carried out using a detailed geotechnical model, defined on the basis of a comprehensive field investigation (boreholes, DH, HVSR, ERT) and accurate laboratory tests (RC-TS). The reference input motion was reproduced considering the time history of the mainshock recorded at an accelerometric station close to the epicenter, conveniently deconvoluted to the bedrock and scaled in amplitude to the site of Castelnuovo. The results of the numerical analyses, expressed in terms of distribution of the amplification factor of peak acceleration and Housner intensity, proved that the topographic effects significantly influenced the ground motion at surface, whereas the role of cavities seemed to be negligible.

The paper reports about the in-situ and laboratory tests executed in the aftermath of the April 6, 2009 L’Aquila earthquake, aimed at contributing to the definition of geotechnical models for site response analyses in the Aterno valley. The investigation started immediately after the earthquake and was entrusted by the Civil Protection Department to different public institutions and private companies; the experimental activities here reported were coordinated by the Italian Geotechnical Society. In the paper, after briefly depicting the geological setting of the L’Aquila basin and the Aterno river valley, an overview of their subsoil conditions is given, based on the geotechnical tests executed before the 2009 earthquake. Thereafter, the specific investigations planned for the characterization of reconstruction sites and seismic microzonation are widely described. The in situ tests consisted of seismic dilatometer and multi-receiver surface wave tests; the resulting shear wave velocity profiles were compared each other, and against independent Down-Hole tests and ambient noise measurements. The laboratory investigation included cyclic/dynamic simple/torsional shear tests on undisturbed samples. The results, summarized in terms of variation of stiffness and damping with shear strain, highlighted some peculiar properties of the soils in the Aterno valley, which could be related to their index properties.

The present paper explores the possibility to obtain the reduction of seismic vulnerability of historical buildings through subsoil treatments, in order to reduce the seismic actions. The study is motivated by the unsatisfactory degree of protection of many historical buildings with respect of seismic risk, and by the in-adequacy and/or the inability to adopt the reinforcement or base isolation methodologies used on the new con-structions. The issue has been addressed through a multi-disciplinary approach. A suitable case study was se-lected, i.e. the ancient Villa Favorita park on the sea in Herculaneum, a site well-characterized in terms of geology, stratigraphy, and mechanical properties of the soil. These features allowed to simulate the seismic subsoil response by 1D modeling, with site effects exclusively induced by the stratigraphy. The seismic beha-viour of the building, with high historical-architectural value, was accurately reproduced by a 3D model. The study was conducted through uncoupled numerical analysis of the site response and the structure in elevation, analyzing the effects of possible artificial variations of soil properties on the seismic safety of the building.

The paper summarises the experimental data collected by in-situ and laboratory tests on the soils in the Aterno valley, with the aim to characterize the seismic response of the sites selected for the emergency houses (C.A.S.E.), built few months after the April 6, 2009 L’Aquila earthquake. The results reported in the paper are relevant to the experimental activity coordinated by the Italian Geotechnical Society (AGI), and carried out by a network of advanced soil dynamics laboratories. The in situ tests consisted of MASW tests; the shear wave velocity profiles in some sites were successfully compared against DH and SDMT tests and instrumentally recorded HVSR amplification. The laboratory investigation included cyclic/dynamic simple/torsional shear tests on undisturbed samples. The results, summarised in terms of variation of stiffness and damping with shear strain, highlighted some peculiar properties of the soils in the Aterno valley, which can significantly affect the non-linear seismic response of the sites.
