Preliminary results of carbon degassing in the tectonically active areas of Balkan Peninsula
2020
The deeply derived CO2 from tectonically active areas is contributing in a significant proportion, still unquantified in detail, to CO2 Earth degassing. Several studies highlighted how in these tectonically active areas most of the CO2 is dissolved in the groundwaters circulating in the large regional aquifers hosted by the permeable formations of the active orogens. Quantifying the amount of deep CO2 dissolved into groundwater can represent a powerful tool for regional investigations, because springs are representative of their catchment area that can extend from tens to hundreds of square kilometers. In the framework of a Deep Carbon Observatory supported project, we investigated for the …
Fare rotta verso nuove terre: la diaspora greco-albanese della prima età moderna
2021
The contribution aims to frame the diasporic phenomenon of the 15th-16th centuries of the Balkan populations from areas roughly corresponding today to Albania and Greece, reading it according to a plurality of levels and intertwining that characterize the Mediterranean modern age history. Specifically, the paper summarizes the most recent reflections on the subject and focuses on the reasons that triggered the migration flows and on the historiographical narration over the centuries.
Geogenic degassing from active tectonic areas of the Balkan Peninsula
2021
During the last decades, great interest of the scientific community has been addressed to the estimation of geogenic Carbon degassing from tectonically active areas (Tamburello et al., 2018). Due to its high solubility in water, CO2 can be dissolved, transported and released to the atmosphere by groundwater. The quantity released by such process is probably of the same order of magnitude as that directly emitted from active volcanoes. The quantification of this contribution has a substantial implication for the modelling of the global atmospheric carbon cycle. The Balkan peninsula, one of the geodynamically most active regions in Europe, is characterized by intense geogenic degassing. Until…
