Geological Map of the Majella Mountain

This geological map of the Majella Mountain, at 1:25.000 scale, is the result of research that started in the '80s as field-based learning and training in structural analysis and stratigraphy/sedimentology for graduate students on the Regional Geology and Stratigraphy courses, led respectively by Paolo Scandone and Etta Patacca at the University of Pisa. This map is the synthesis of the geological surveys carried out at 1: 10,000 scale between 1986 and 2007. The cartographic project, coordinated by P. Di Manna, E. Patacca and P. Scandone who have been respectively responsible for the editing, stratigraphic analyses and mapping activity, has seen the contribution of researchers (see list on the map) from research groups of the CNR-"Centro di Studio per il Quaternario e l'Evoluzione Ambientale" and the Universities of Roma-La Sapienza, Roma-Tre, Torino and Pisa. In 2000-2003 the research was supported by ENI-AGIP Exploration and Development Division and, as co-sponsorship, by NorskHydro (now Statoil), within the Research Project TASK FORCE MAJELLA (coord. J.P. van Dijk Eni E&P Division, San Donato Milanese).
