E-mail: [email protected] Fax: (+ 34) 923294514 *Corresponding author ABS TRACT The Bajo Segura Basin (eastern Betic Cordillera) is a Mediterranean marginal basin where the Messinian Erosional Surface (MES), formed during the Messinian Salinity Crisis sea-level fall, is well developed. Overlying this major discontinuity the lower Pliocene transgressive sediments record the reflooding of the Mediterranean and the return to an open marine environment, the continental shelf being rebuilt after the Messinian erosion. The stratigraphic and biostratigraphic study of six sections allows two transgressive-regressive sequences filling the MES to be distinguished, correlated with the previously distinguished Mediterranean offshore seismic units. Ten calcareous nannofossil bioevents have been identified. The lower sequence can be dated according to nannofossil biozones NN12 to NN14 and the upper sequence by NN15 to NN16. The boundary between both lower Pliocene sedimentary sequences occur after the first common occurrence (FCO) of Discoaster asymmetricus found in the uppermost sediments of the lower sequence and before the first occurrence (FO) of Discoaster tamalis in the lowermost part of the upper sequence.

  • Sustainable Growth Management at Naples International Airport, Italy
    Environmental Impact IV 233 SUSTAINABLE GROWTH MANAGEMENT AT NAPLES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, ITALY MICHELE MIEDICO Naples International Airport, Italy ABSTRACT Naples International Airport is a perfect example of a “City Airport” as it is only 5 km away from the city centre. Managed by Gesac, in 2017 passenger traffic amounted to 8.6 million, with a rate of growth 3 times the European and Italian average. With the objective of sustainable growth, Gesac is currently adopting an integrated action plan, backed by a significant investment programme. Specific devices are used in the terminal to manage water consumption, which resulted in a 25% savings of potable water in the last year, despite the growth in passenger traffic. Like a small city, the airport produces 1,200 tonnes of waste. Sorted waste collection, which was 62% in 2017, has set a target of 65% for 2018 to be achieved by door-to-door waste collection. In order to reduce energy consumption, Gesac adopted a smart management system of lights and air conditioning in the passenger terminal and has begun the construction of a new power generation plant designed to produce enough energy to meet the aerodrome’s electric, thermal and refrigerating needs. These activities are included in the Airport Carbon Accreditation program, developed by the Airport Council International (ACI) to reduce emissions worldwide. Gesac is scheduled to obtain certification for the highest level (3+“Neutrality”) by 2018. Aircraft noise is a main issue in the sustainable growth domain. In 2005, Naples International Airport was the first airport in Italy to install a noise monitoring system and to control the noise abatement procedures and, consequently, to reduce its initial footprint by more than 26%, and the population exposed by 52%.

  • Variability and Changes in Selected Climate Elements in Madrid and Alicante in the Period 2000-2014
    Contemp.Trends.Geosci., 4(1),2015,56-65 DOI:10.1515/ctg-2015-0006 Variability and changes in selected climate elements in Madrid and Alicante in the period 2000-2014 Katarzyna Cielecka Department of Climatology, Faculty of Earth Sciences, University of Silesia, 60 Bedzinska Str, 41-200 Sosnowiec, Poland; [email protected] Received: 19th October, 2015 Accepted: 5th January, 2016 Abstract The aim of this study is to compare climatic conditions between the interior of the Iberian Peninsula and the south- eastern coast of Spain. The article analyzes selected elements of climate over the last 15 years (2000-2014). Synoptic data from airport meteorological stations in Madrid Barajas and Alicante Elche were used. Attention was focused on annual air temperature, relative humidity and precipitation. The mean climatic conditions over the period 2000-2014 were compared with those over the 1961-1990 period which is recommended by WMO as climate normal and with data for the 1971-2000 coming from ‘Climate Atlas’ of Spanish meteorologists group AEMET. Two of climate elements discussed were characterized by significant changes. The annual air temperature was higher by about 0.2°C in Alicante and 0.9°C in Madrid in the period 2000-2014 compared to the 1961-1990. The current winters were colder than in years 1961-1990 at both stations. Gradual decrease in annual precipitation totals was observed at both stations. In 1961-1990 the annual average precipitation in Madrid amounted to 414 mm, while in Alicante it was 356 mm. However, in the recent years of 2000-2014 these totals were lower compared to 1961-1990 reaching 364.1 mm in the central part of Spain and 245.7 mm on the south-western coast.
