Genesis and morphological evolution of Fusàro lagoon (Campania, southern Italy) in the Holocene

Auteur :
DE PIPPO, T.

Description :
Analysis of geomorphological features of Fusàro lagoon highlighted four main evolutionary stages, between 9000 yr BP an the present. This lagoon developed in the western sector of Phlegrean Fields active volcanic area during the mid-Holocene, within a wide marine bay bunded by Monte di Cuma and Torregaveta volcanoes. This shallow bay was gradually filled with Phlegrean pyroclastics and Volturno and Clanis river sediments, thus creating an open lagoon. - (NF)
