Nesting of the Spotless Starling, Sturnus unicolor, on the island of Favignana (Aegadian Islands, Sicily)

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Ornitologia - Research in Ornithology, 2021
The presence of the Spotless Starling in Sicily was reported for the first time at the beginning of the XIX century, although the first nests for the province of Trapani are reported almost at the end of the XX century.

Coastal boulder production controlled by columnar joints of ignimbrite and extreme waves: insights from the high-energy coast of Pantelleria Island (Sicily Channel, Mediterranean Sea)

open access: yesNatural Hazards
We examined the relationship between coastal boulder production and the volcanic rock features on the high-energy rocky coast of Pantelleria Island (Sicily Channel, Mediterranean Sea).

Geomorphological evidence of the Malta‐Sicily land‐bridge during the Last Glacial Maximum inferred from seismic profiles

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 2, February 2025.
This paper presents a detailed geomorphological and palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of the western coastline of the Malta‐Sicily land‐bridge during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), using 2D seismic profiles and EMODnet bathymetric data. Two stratigraphic facies were identified: a pre‐Plio‐Quaternary sequence and overlying Plio‐Quaternary deposits ...

A Failed Rift in the Eastern Adventure Plateau (Sicilian Channel, Central Mediterranean)

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Widespread volcanism has been known in the Sicilian Channel for a long time, even if some submarine volcanoes have only recently been discovered. Most of this volcanism formed along the NNE-trending transfer zone known as the Capo Granitola–Sciacca Fault

Peralkaline felsic magmatism at the Nemrut volcano, Turkey: impact of volcanism on the evolution of Lake Van (Anatolia) IV [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Nemrut volcano, adjacent to Lake Van (Turkey), is one of the most important peralkaline silicic centres in the world, where magmatism for ~570,000 years has been dominated by peralkaline trachytes and rhyolites.

Integration of Land Use Potential in Energy System Optimization Models at Regional Scale: The Pantelleria Island Case Study

open access: yesSustainability
In the context of the energy transition, the integration of land use considerations into energy planning can provide significant improvements. In energy system optimization models (ESOMs), land use aspects can be integrated at the cost of a finer spatial

Tsunami propagation and flooding maps: An application for the Island of Lampedusa, Sicily Channel, Italy

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 49, Issue 14, Page 4842-4861, November 2024.
The graphical abstract summarizes the tsunami inundation risk assessment for Lampedusa Island. It highlights the study area (Hellenic Arc and Lampedusa), the high tsunamigenic risk of the Hellenic Arc and socio‐economic importance of Lampedusa. The modelling methodology includes the adoption of DELFT‐3D, MIKE 21 FM and HEC‐RAS software.
