Studio geoambientale (sedimentologico e di dinamica marino-costiera) del sistema litorale S.I.C. "Bosco Pantano di Policoro e Cosat Ionica Foce Sinni" (basilicata, Golfo di Taranto).

This paper shows the result of the sedimentological study performed to characterize the “Bosco Pantano di Policoro e Costa Ionica Foce Sinni” coastal system, in Basilicata (southern Italy, Gulf of Taranto). This study is part of the PROVIDUNE LIFE Project, a multi-disciplinary research task funded by the European Community and designed to outline the framework of the natural habitats of the dune fields that occur along some Mediterranean coasts in southern Italy. In particular, this study was focused on the morpho-sedimentological characterization of both the emerged and submerged sectors of the beach system developed along a 3,5 km-long and up to 200 m-wide segment of the Ionian coast. Firstly, existing geological, climatological and meteomarine data were collected and critically analysed. A multitemporal analysis of coastline changes during the last 100 years (1908-2010) was performed. A geomorphological survey was carried out through the measurement of up to 200 m long thirty-six, normal-to-shoreline topographic profiles; these latter were coupled with bathymetric profiles, reaching a depth of -13 m. Both topographic and bathymetric profiles were measured on three times (July, October, December 2010). Textural and compositional analyses of sediments both of the emerged and submerged beach were also performed. The results of this study were synthesized in a series of maps useful to outline geological, sedimentological and morpho-bathymetric features of both the coastal and nearshore sectors. This kind of study provides a geological background that must be taken into account for any intervention planning, as well as for coastal management projects. The results should be also used in order to protect coastal habitats, which is the ultimate goal of the LIFE project.

Abstract: This paper shows the result of the sedimentological study performed to characterize the “Bosco Pantano di Policoro e Costa Ionica Foce Sinni” coastal system, in Basilicata (southern Italy, Gulf of Taranto). This study is part of the PROVIDUNE LIFE Project, a multi-disciplinary research task funded by the European Community and designed to outline the framework of the natural habitats of the dune fields that occur along some Mediterranean coasts in southern Italy. In particular, this study was focused on the morpho-sedimentological characterization of both the emerged and submerged sectors of the beach system developed along a 3,5 km-long and up to 200 m-wide segment of the Ionian coast. Firstly, existing geological, climatological and meteomarine data were collected and critically analysed. A multitemporal analysis of coastline changes during the last 100 years (1908-2010) was performed. A geomorphological survey was carried out through the measurement of up to 200 m long thirty-six, normal-to-shoreline topographic profiles; these latter were coupled with bathymetric profiles, reaching a depth of -13 m. Both topographic and bathymetric profiles were measured on three times (July, October, December 2010). Textural and compositional analyses of sediments both of the emerged and submerged beach were also performed. The results of this study were synthesized in a series of maps useful to outline geological, sedimentological and morpho-bathymetric features of both the coastal and nearshore sectors.
