  • Coastal Models and Beach Types in Ne Sicily: How Does Coastal Uplift Influence Beach Morphology?
    Il Quaternario Italian Journal of Quaternary Sciences 19(1), 2006 - 103-117 COASTAL MODELS AND BEACH TYPES IN NE SICILY: HOW DOES COASTAL UPLIFT INFLUENCE BEACH MORPHOLOGY? Sergio Longhitano1, Angiola Zanini2 1 Dipartimento di Scienze Geologiche, Università degli Studi della Basilicata Campus di Macchia Romana, 85100, Potenza; e-mail: [email protected]. 2 Dipartimento di Scienze Geologiche, Università degli Studi di Catania Corso Italia 55, 95100, Catania; e-mail: [email protected]. ABSTRACT: S. Longhitano, A. Zanini, Coastal models and beach types in NE Sicily: how does coastal uplift influence beach morpho- logy? (IT ISSN 0394-3356, 2005). This paper compares morphological and sedimentary characters of beach types occurring along the Ionian coastline of NE Sicily and local coastal uplift rates, with the aim of evaluating how vertical coastal movements influence beach morphologies. The Ionian coastline of NE Sicily may be divided into many coastal provinces and subprovinces, following the relative positions that each segment of littoral occupies within the general geological setting of the central Mediterranean. This coastline runs perpendicu- larly along the Africa-Europe plate boundary, crossing successions belonging to the chain, volcanic products, a foredeep and a fore- land sector. In this paper only the northern sector, pertaining to the chain and volcanic coastal provinces, is examined. From the south to the northern edge of NE Sicily, four main localities were chosen for examination: (i) Capo Peloro/Messina; (ii) Taormina/Giardini-Naxos; (iii) Riposto/Praiola; (iv) Ognina/Catania. In these sites, a series of combined observations on the gradient of the nearshore profile, grain size of sediments, local water dyna- mics, and uplift rates identified classes of distinct beach types and models.

  • Chapter 18 Application of the Drought Management Guidelines in Italy
    Chapter 18. Application of the Drought Management Guidelines in Italy: The Simeto River Basin B. Bonaccorso, A. Cancelliere, V. Nicolosi, G. Rossi, I. Alba and G. Cristaudo Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Catania V.le A. Doria, 6, 95125 Catania, Italy SUMMARY – The present report summarizes the results of the application of the proposed methodologies for Drought Identification and Characterization, Risk Analysis and Risk Management for Water Supply Systems to the Italian Case Study, namely the Simeto River Basin in Sicily. In particular, after a general description of the case study (Section 2), the results of the drought identification study, carried out by means of several indices and methods such as SPI, Palmer indices and run method, are presented (Section 3). The application of a methodology proposed for the assessment of the return periods of drought events identified on the historical annual precipitation series is also presented. In Section 4, after a general classification of drought mitigation measures, the drought mitigation measures historically adopted for the Simeto River Basin to reduce drought impacts in urban and agricultural sectors are described. Then, in Section 5, the methodology for risk analysis presented in Chapter 6 is applied to the Salso-Simeto water supply system, which is a part of the larger system of the Simeto river. In particular, a Montecarlo simulation of the system, making use of synthetically generated hydrological series and a water supply system simulation model, is carried out in order to assess both unconditional (long term) and conditional (short term) drought risk. Finally impact assessment on rainfed agriculture is presented.

  • Regional Models for the Evaluation of Streamflow Series in Ungauged Basins
    Regional models for the evaluation of streamflow series in ungauged basins P. Cutore, G. Cristaudo, A. Campisano, C. Modica, A. Cancelliere, G. Rossi Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Catania, Italy Abstract: The assessment of water resources in a region usually must cope with a general lack of data, both in time (short observed series) as well as in space (ungauged basins). Therefore regionalization techniques have to be adopted in order to transfer information to sites without or with short available observed series. The present paper aims to analyze applicability and limitations of two regionalization procedures respectively based on a “two-steps” and on a “one-step” approach, for the evaluation of monthly streamflow series in ungauged basins. In particular, a “two-steps” and a “one-step” approaches based on multiple regression equations and a “one-step” approach based on neural networks are presented. The “two-steps” approach requires as a first step the estimation of the model parameters for each gauged basin, and as a second step the determination of regional relations between the parameters and the geomorphological characteristics of the basins. On the other hand, according to the “one-step” approach, hydrological and geomorphological characteristics of the sub-basins are directly considered as model inputs to derive streamflow series. An application of the proposed regional models to a Sicilian river basin is reported. For the investigated region, results indicate that models based on the “one-step” approach appear to be robust and adequate for evaluating the streamflows in ungauged basins. Key words: regional models - regression equations - neural networks - streamflows 1 2 P.

  • Sicily (Sicilia)
    Sicily (Sicilia) General Sicily (Italian: Sicilia) is an autonomous region of Italy, in Southern Italy along with surrounding minor islands, officially referred to as Regione Siciliana. Sicily is located in the central Mediterranean Sea, south of the Italian Peninsula, from which it is separated by the narrow Strait of Messina. Its most prominent landmark is Mount Etna, the tallest active volcano in Europe, and one of the most active in the world, currently 3,329 m (10,922 ft.) high. The island has a typical Mediterranean climate. Administrative Divisions Administratively, Sicily is divided into 9 administrative provinces, each with a capital city of the same name as the province. The areas and populations of these provinces are: Province of Agrigento ......................................... 3,042 km2 ....... pop. 453,594 Province of Caltanissetta .................................... 2,128 km2 ....... pop. 271,168 Province of Catania ............................................ 3,552 km2 .... pop. 1,090,620 Province of Enna ................................................ 2,562 km2 ....... pop. 172,159 Province of Messina ........................................... 3,247 km2 ....... pop. 652,742 Province of Palermo ........................................... 4,992 km2 .... pop. 1,249,744 Province of Ragusa ............................................ 1,614 km2 ....... pop. 318,980 Province of Siracusa ........................................... 2,109 km2 ....... pop. 403,559 Province of Trapani ............................................. 2,460 km2 ....... pop. 436,240 The City of Palermo is the Capital City of the region Small surrounding islands are also part of various Sicilian provinces: Aeolian Islands (Messina), The isle of Ustica (Palermo), Aegadian Islands (Trapani), The isle of Pantelleria (Trapani) and Pelagian Islands (Agrigento). Geography Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. It has a roughly triangular shape, earning it the name Trinacria.
