INTEGRATING SEDIMENTOLOGY, STRATIGRAPHY, GEOCHEMISTRY AND 3D GEOLOGICAL MODELLING: CONTRIBUTION TO GEOLOGICAL MAPPING FOR LAND KNOWLEDGE (CARG SHEET 081 ¿ROVERETO¿)
type: CreativeWork
description: Geological maps are thematic representations illustrating the distribution of geological features exposed at the Earth’s surface. They are essential tools for land use planning, natural hazard mitigation, groundwater management, mineral resource exploration and environmental protection. In Italy, a country characterized by considerable geological fragility, the need for detailed geological knowledge and mapping has long been recognised. Shortly after its national unification, geological mapping was entrusted to the Italian Geological Survey, nowadays part of ISPRA (Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale-Institute for Environmental Protection and Research). The whole national territory is currently covered by a 1:100000 scale geological map (surveyed since the XIX century and completed in the ‘70s of the last century) but the necessity for a larger-scale map led ISPRA to launch the Geological CARtography project (CARG). The CARG project aims to produce a geological map of Italy at a 1:50000 scale, made up of 634 map sheets, in collaboration with territorial authorities, research centres and universities. The project represents an essential and strategic long-term investment in scientific knowledge, with direct socio-economic benefits that ultimately support sustainable land management and decision-making. In this framework, the compilation of the CARG sheet 081 “Rovereto” provided an opportunity to promote collaboration between the Provincia Autonoma di Trento (Autonomous Province of Trento), representing the territorial administration, and the University of Milan, along with other universities and research centres, providing scientific support. Based on this collaboration, the present PhD thesis focuses on the Rhaetian(?)-Tithonian carbonate succession of the Trento Platform, one of the Jurassic structural highs of the Western Tethys Ocean, cropping out in the Folgaria plateau and in the Pasubio Massif areas (Trentino-Alto Adige region, N Italy…
