ABSTRACT
Environmental monitoring plays an increasingly important role in the protection of the marine environment: speed and precision, and therefore methodological aspects, in the acquisition of environmental parameters are therefore essential to identify any environmental impacts, following human activities, in the short term.
This Special Session aims to focus on the anthropogenic effects of major works and infrastructural interventions on the marine environment, in terms of sediment resuspension (turbidity of water masses), dynamics and related transported contaminants (such as traditional and emerging organic contaminants, microplastics, asbestos fibers, ...), starting from basic knowledge, aiming at the application and exploitation of technology and the exchange of good practices.
We encourage contributions focused on interdisciplinary approaches and collaborative research among geology, sedimentology, chemistry, physics and engineering.
Oral presentations and Posters regarding large-scale research projects (such as Interreg, Life, PNRR....) are welcome.
ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS
Marco Capello associate Professor in Physical Oceanography, he has been involved in the last 30 years in marine-maritime physical monitoring of human activities at sea, with particular attention to their impacts on the marine environment. He has followed, among other projects, the removal of the Costa Concordia at the Isola del Giglio, the construction of the TAP gas pipeline in San Foca (Otranto - Puglia), the redevelopment of the PIR platform in the Adriatic Sea, and is following the construction of the new breakwater of the Port of Genoa. He has been the leader and co-leader of several Interreg Maritime projects and is a member of the NRRP "RETURN" project.
Laura Cutroneo currently Researcher in Physical Oceanography of the NRRP "RETURN" Project, she has been involved for a long time in marine-maritime physical monitoring of human activities at sea, with particular attention to their impacts on the marine environment. She followed, as a field manager, the monitoring of the removal of the Costa Concordia at the Giglio Island, the construction of the TAP gas pipeline in San Foca (Otranto - Puglia), the redevelopment of the PIR platform in the Adriatic Sea, and she deals with the activities at sea for the RETURN project for the PoC of the Port of Genoa. She has been responsible for the communication of several Interreg Maritime projects.
