The Mar Piccolo of Taranto (southern Italy, Mediterranean Sea), a site of the European LTER network, is a transitional water system, where a century-old intensive mussel farming...

This work was dedicated to provide a first systematic assessment of the role played by deep stratosphere-to-troposphere transport events (denoted as “stratospheric...

In this work, new particle formation events (NPFs) occurring at two locations in southern Italy, the urban background site of Lecce (ECO station) and the coastal site of Lamezia...

L’intrusione salina nelle acque superficiali e sotterranee è un fenomeno naturale, tipico di aree costiere, che comporta l’ingressione di acque marine nell’area continentale....

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is one of the major risks for global health. The exact mechanisms of toxicity are still not completely understood leading to contrasting...

Aerosol absorption parameters were investigated in this study using the measurements performed by an aethalometer during a monitoring campaign from December 2021 to July 2022 in...

Sequence stratigraphic concepts have a variety of applications well beyond hydrocarbon exploration. Through coastal plain-to-shelf stratigraphic correlation of Last Glacial...

The current rapid change of the Earth's climate has resulted in an increasing interest for the past warm periods as potential long-term scenarios of the effects of the present...

The Mediterranean Sea is a quasi-permanently stratified and oligotrophic basin with intense late-winter and early-spring phytoplankton blooms typically limited to few regions...

This work describes first activities carried out in the frame of WP7-7.4 task of the ITINERIS “Italian Integrated Environmental Research Infrastructures System” project (PNRR...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding (eDNA metaB) is fundamental for monitoring marine biodiversity and its spread in coastal ecosystems. We applied eDNA metaB to seawater samples to...

HF radar systems have the potential to measure the wind direction, in addition to surface currents and wave fields. However, studies on HF radar for wind direction determination...

Due to an ever-increasing demographic pressure, coastal areas are hotspots of anthropogenic impact on marine ecosystems. Understanding the extent and nature of these impacts is...

We present a study on the ocean surface currents reconstruction by merging Level-4 (L4,gap-free) altimeter-derived geostrophic currents and satellite sea surface temperature....

During the last decade, new applications exploiting data from satellite-borne lidar measurements demonstrated that these sensors can give valuable information about ocean...

We provide numerical evidence of the transition from rank-ordered trains of internal solitary waves (ISWs) to multi-humped packets. We ascribe such peculiar and unexplored...

Many countries imposed lockdown (LD) to limit the spread of COVID-19, which led to a reduction in the emission of anthropogenic atmospheric pollutants. Several studies have...

Exposure to atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is recognized as a human health risk factor of great concern. The present work aimed to study the cellular mechanisms underlying...

This study aims to investigate the seasonal variation and source identification of fluorescent aerosol particles at the monitoring site of the University of Salento in Lecce,...

Hazardously high concentrations of arsenic exceeding the threshold limits for soils and drinking waters have been widely reported from Quaternary sedimentary successions and...
