Naples, October 11th-13th, 2017
Learning to measure sea health parameters
Nell'ambito del workshop sono state organizzate due sessioni legate alla Geologia marina.
1) Acquisition, processing and interpretation of multibeam data
Convener:
Prof. Daniele Casalbore, University Sapienza of Rome, Italy;
Dr. Giacomo Deiana, University of Cagliari, Italy;
Dr. Sara Innangi, IAMC Naples, CNR, Italy;
Dr. Agostino Meo, University of Sannio, Italy.
ABSTRACT della Sessione
Multibeam surveys are nowadays the fastest developing field in marine geology as they reveal with unpreceded detail seafloor feature highlighting sedimentary, biogenic, volcanic, tectonic and mass-wasting processes. Multibeam system relies on a complex architecture of acoustic transducers, motion sensor, sound velocity probes, location of vessel or AUV/ROV vehicles. Its applications are continuously developing, from repetitive surveys for monitoring seafloor variations to the acquisition of backscatter data in the water column. Therefore, it is the technology that most relies on data treatment, either for processing and for developing new interpretative tools of seafloor and possibly oceanographic processes.
2) Acquisition, processing and interpretation of marine geology data
Convener:
Dr. Claudio Pellegrini, Institute of Marine Science, ISMAR-CNR;
Dr. Elena Romano, Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e Ricerca Ambientale, ISPRA;
Prof. Alessandra Savini, University of Milano Bicocca, Italy;
Dr. Daniele Spatola, University of Malta.
ABSTRACT della Sessione
Marine geology relies on remote observation (ship-based or even ROV- or AUV-based) of the vaste realm of the seafloor and sub-seafloor geological phenomena and structures, then grountruthed by visual inspections, coring, and seafloor sampling. Issues such as location of the vessel (or other platforms), resolution, density, accuracy, spatial interpolation of data are common to all the methods. The integration of different kind of data and the need to tune data density to the scale of the observed phenomenon is also typical of marine geological researches.
La data di scadenza per la sottomissione degli abstract al è stata posticipata al 20 luglio 2017.
