“…A terrestrial laser scanner (LS) can be used when a 3D model is also required. However, LS is subject to similar limitations (Angelini et al, 2017;Stocchi et al, 2017). In such harsh environments, only SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) techniques can be used.…”

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Sometimes, the georeferencing of a cave in the global reference system can be challenging. Some difficulties may arise when narrow passages do not allow the use of classical topographic equipment or a terrestrial laser scanner. In these specific cases, the surveyor can employ a visual-based approach to produce both the followed path and the 3D model of the hypogeum. The report we are presenting is the result of a survey in the Guattari cave carried out using images taken by a Huawei P9 mobile phone and a Nikon D800E camera with a 16&thinsp;mm fisheye lens. Several targets were measured in order to contain the deformation of the models. Three GCPs located just outside the cave have been used to georeference the models. The data have been acquired by a double frequency GNSS receiver in static session mode. The comparison between the two models shows a substantial concordance only in the area outside the cave where the GCPs were measured. In the innermost areas, the two models differ by as much as two meters.</p>

The investigation of submerged speleothems for sea level studies has made significant contributions to the understanding of the global and regional sea level variations during the Middle and Late Quateranry. This has been especially the case for the Mediterranean Sea, where more than 300 submerged speleothems sampled in 32 caves have been analysed so far. Here, we present a comprehensive review of the results obtained from the study of submerged speleothems since 1978. The studied speleothems cover the last 1.4 Ma and are focused mainly on Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 1, 2, 3, 5.1, 5.3, 5.5, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.5. Results reveal that submerged speleothems represent extraordinary archives providing accurate information on former sea level changes, also considering that the Mediterranean Sea is devoid of any tropical corals since the Miocene. New results from a stalagmite collected at Palinuro (Campania, Italy) characterized by marine overgrowth are also reported. The measured elevations of speleothems are contaminated by the local response to glacial- and hydro-isostatic adjustment (GIA), and thus might significantly deviate from the global eustatic signal. Age and altitude comparation between Mediterranean speleothems, flowstone from Bahamas with local GIA provide a new scenario for MIS 5 and 7 sea level reconstrutions.

“…The CORS network set up in the western part of Sicily has been tested and data was used for several scientific works focused on: dams monitoring (Pipitone et al, 2018;Dardanelli and Pipitone, 2017;Dardanelli et al, 2014), geological analyses (Stocchi et al, 2017), trajectories calculation of MMS (Dardanelli et al, 2015;Dardanelli and Carella, 2013), integrated survey in archaeological context (Fazio et al, 2019;Ebolese et al, 2019) and also geodynamic research (Barreca et al, 2020).…”

Nowadays, technical and scientific researches are focused on the use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) networks due to their global impact on the satellite positioning. This study aims to describe the main steps developed by the University of Palermo for the realization of the GNSS CORS network distributed in the western part of Sicily (Italy). Specifically, it focuses on data availability, preliminary studies and analyses involving the GNSS CORS network, the geodetic framework used, the coordinates and displacements time series retrieved over time and the statistical analysis with the Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF). The analyses allowed to verify the network operating service and the quality of the recorded data during the first period of testing procedure (2008-2012).
