This book presents current research in the field of geophysics,
particularly referring to some principles, applications and
emerging technologies. Topics discussed comprehend environmental
geophysics, with an explanation of geophysical methods ("seismic
refraction and reflection techniques", "seismic analysis of surface
waves", "electrical methods", "gravimetric and microgravimetric
methods", "magnetic and electromagnetic methods") and new
methodologies of processing and interpretation with examples in the
area of Greece; applications of innovative geophysical techniques
in other coastal areas, showing a new approach to seismic data
acquisition, joining up land and marine seismic data through a
marine streamer connected to a land cable with examples in Procida
and Ventotene islands (Southern Italy); marine geophysics of Naples
Bay focusing on seismic and magnetic data offshore the Vesuvius,
Phlegrean Fields, Ischia and Procida volcanic complexes and a
technological evolution in seismic data acquisition from explosive,
Sparker and Watergun seismic sources towards new techniques,
including MEAS (Multispot Extended Array Sparker) used in marine
geological mapping of Southern Italy's continental shelf and slope.
Other topics in this book include oceanographic aspects regarding
the oceanic oscillation phenomena and their relationships with the
synchronisation and stochastic resonance, particularly referring to
the transitions among stable and unstable states of western
boundary currents, such as the Kuroshio in Japan and investigating
their occurrence in general oceanographic circulation as a rhythmic
natural phenomena; oceanographic aspects regarding the assessment
of ocean variability in the Sicily Channel (Southern Italy) through
a numerical 3D model based on Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOF)
analysis aimed at studying the seasonal and interannual variability
of oceanographic circulation and hydrology, and extending down to
the African coast, involving the Tunisian and Lybian continental
shelves (Mediterranean sea); and finally, experimental application
of distributed optical fiber sensors through Brillouin Optical Time
Domain Analysis (BOTDA) to the monitoring of artificially induced
cracks opening in the volcanic rocky slope of the Coroglio coastal
cliff (Naples, Southern Italy) aimed at the development of early
warning systems and geomorphological setting of coastal cliffs,
characterised by a rocks falls, topples and slides.
