Students in Geological Sciences visited an industrial complex close to Siena where CO2 is exploited at >300 m depth. Some production wells were visited and a short tour inside the industrial site was taken. Some natural CO2 manifestations were also visited nearby.
Cerro Pabellón (Chile) is the first and only geothermal power plant in South America, producing around 340 GWh/y thanks to a water-dominated geothermal reservoir (>200 °C). The plant satisfies the needs of over 165 thousand families and avoid the emission of 166,000 CO2ton/y.
The former Cu mines of Valle Imperina in the Belluno Dolomites, are nowadays a destination for excursions for students and researchers from the
University of Bologna.
The sampling of waters and sediments is crucial to understand the lasting impacts of these mines.
The IRGIE project (Geothermal Resources Inventory of the Aeolian Islands) of @INGVvulcani, in collaboration with @regionesicilia, explores the geothermal resources of the seven #Aeolian islands.
Here, you see some activities of the first sampling campaign at #Lipari.
Every month some of our members, in collaboration with INGV, carry out the sampling of fumaroles from Bocca Grande and Bocca Nuova in the Solfatara crater to study the temporal evolution of the system and to improve the knowledge of deep processes governing its degassing.
Today (9/11/22) is one year since a 5.5 Mw earthquake struck the Marche coastal area. The research team composed of the @uniurbit, @Dstunifi, @CNRsocial_-IGG of Florence, and INGV-Rome is carrying out a water monitoring to find out possible variations related to the earthquake.
A coring campaign at the #Venice Lagoon (Torcello and Lio Piccolo) has just been concluded. The extracted cores are to reconstruct the #Holocene lagoon paleo-depositional ad paleo-environmental evolution by high-resolution sedimentological, geochemical and isotopic analyses.
SoGeI members Orlando Vaselli and Barbara Nisi were at Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni (#Santorini, Greece) to carried out the annual sampling of fumaroles and soil #CO2 flux measurements in collaboration with the Greek colleagues of IGME.
Students from the Environmental Analysis and Management as well as Water Coastal Management Master’s program at the @Unibo - Ravenna Campus visiting the abandoned mining area of #Montevecchio in Sardinia. An opportunity to fully grasp the complexity of environmental research.
SoGeI members Maurizio Ambrosino, Domenico Cicchella and Stefano Albanese measured #CO2 emissions related to tectonic structures and karst aquifers at #Solopaca (Benevento, Italy). About 380 kgCO2/km2 per day was estimated.
Would you neglect non-volcanic CO2 emissions?
1/4 - Many SoGeI members were involved in the last @begeoscientists 2023 conference. Very inspiring was to see our younger members defending their research and it was a pride to see how young SoGeI members were spreading geochemical topics by holding a dedicated session.
Fault-controlled CO2 degassing at the Larderello geothermal field...
Geothermal areas worldwide are often characterized by relevant degassing of carbon dioxide. Defining its origin is essential to understanding the behavior of the geothermal fluid....
