The CARG (Geological CARtography)
Geological Maps of the Adriatic Sea, scale 1:250,000
The geological Maps of the Adriatic sea is the first cartographic project giving a synthetic representation of the distribution of the seafloor sediment (Seafloor Chart) and the tectonic and stratigraphic characteristics of the Adriatic Sea (Subcrop Chart)
The six geological CHARTS OF THE SEAFLOOR (cartography sheets:
NL-33-7 Venezia, NL 33-10 Ravenna, NK33-1/2 Ancona, NK33-5 Pescara, NK
33-6 Vieste and NK 33-8/9
Bari) together with their explanatory notes
contain the late quaterary deposits representing the principal phases
of the last glacial cycle:
- HST High stand system tract (last ca. 5.000 years)
- TST Trasgressive System Tract (25.000-18.000 years)
- LST Low Stand System Tract (18.000-5.000 years)
- FST Fallings System Tract (125.000-25.000 years)
The six geological CHARTS OF THE SUBCROP (cartography sheets: NL-33-7 Venezia, NL 33-10 Ravenna, NK33-1/2 Ancona, NK33-5 Pescara, NK 33-6 Vieste and NK 33-8/9 Bari) together with their explanatory notes contain the structural map at the base of the time interval Pliocene to Quaternary, where all the tectonic features, that are referred to this relevant isochronopach, are displayed. Inside each sheet, seismic reflection profiles crossing the area and stratigraphic sketches are presented and interpreted, showing the long time geological evolution and the current tectonic context of the Adriatic Sea. If available, seismicity over the area and the relation with the mapped active tectonic structures is also presented.
