“…350 ky BP. It has been documented at length that the study area and the adjacent coastal plains experienced generalized tectonic uplift during the Middle Pleistocene (Bracone et al, 2012a), and then remained stable up to the Holocene (Antonioli et al, 2009;D'Amico et al, 2013;Parlagreco et al, 2011). In that scenario, it is likely that tectonic uplift triggered the onset of the Biferno River paleovalley, inducing river down-cutting, widespread terrace formation, and prolonged pedogenesis on the adjacent Apenninic interfluves.…”

“…These deposits are mostly silty and sandy in nature with gravelly-sandy lenses of the period between medium-upper Pleistocene and Holocene age. The spatio-temporal evolution of the fluvial depositional environments, driven by interactions between climatic and glacio-eustatic changes and the plio-quartenary tectonic phases, has conditioned the spatial distribution of the characteristic lithotypes [28]. The presence of a mostly pelitic substrate, acting as an aquiclude (k values ranging from 10 −9 to 10 −7 m/s), below the more permeable alluvial deposits (k values ranging from 10 −5 to 10 −3 m/s) suggests the presence of shallow, single and multi-layered aquifers [29,30].…”

Abstract:In this research, univariate and bivariate statistical methods were applied to rainfall, river and piezometric level datasets belonging to 24-year time series . These methods, which often are used to understand the effects of precipitation on rivers and karstic springs discharge, have been used to assess piezometric level response to rainfall and river level fluctuations in a porous aquifer. A rain gauge, a river level gauge and three wells, located in Central Italy along the lower Pescara River valley in correspondence of its important alluvial aquifer, provided the data. Statistical analysis has been used within a known hydrogeological framework, which has been refined by mean of a photo-interpretation and a GPS survey. Water-groundwater relationships were identified following the autocorrelation and cross-correlation analyses. Spectral analysis and mono-fractal features of time series were assessed to provide information on multi-year variability, data distributions, their fractal dimension and the distribution return time within the historical time series. The statistical-mathematical results were interpreted through fieldwork that identified distinct groundwater flowpaths within the aquifer and enabled the implementation of a conceptual model, improving the knowledge on water resources management tools.

“…fluvial processes) due to local tectonic subsidence, have produced minor topography undulations, outlining the present landscape. Otherwise, effects of regional base level variations, induced by sea level fluctuation (Antonioli and Vai 2004;Parlagreco et al 2011;Miccadei et al 2011) and regional uplift, are confined to the mountain front and piedmont areas, and the outer intermontane basins (D'Agostino et al 2001). The drainage systems of the Central Apennines chain show an overall rectangular pattern controlled by the extensional tectonics, while the Adriatic piedmont parallel pattern, perpendicular to the chain, is related to the regional uplift bulging, and in the Tyrrhenian side the drainage is controlled by volcanic landscape.…”

The Central Apennines chain (Central Italy) is an asymmetric NW-SE thrust belt, NE verging, that has developed since the Neogene. The present landscape is made up of alternating calcareous ridges, valleys on pelitic arenaceous bedrock, as well as wide intermontane basins filled by Quaternary continental deposits. The chain is characterised at high elevation by glacial and isolated patches of dissected karst relict landscapes elevations, and by slope landforms, alluvial fans and fluvial landforms within valleys and intermontane basins; in the latter ancient lacustrine deposits are preserved. Intermontane basins, valley and drainage systems, and relict landscapes are affected by active geodynamic processes resulting in regional uplift, extensional faulting and local subsidence, and by Quaternary climate fluctuations. In this work, the main intermontane basins have been correlated along a SW-NE transect, comparing sedimentary sequences and morphotectonic features, the evidence of local tectonics and uplift pulses, and the main features of the drainage systems, in order to outline the drainage changes occurred during the Quaternary in the Central Apennines chain.Along a SW-NE swath profile, min, mean and max topography elevations, the basins' min elevation, the elevation of the main karst landforms, and the Pleistocene uplift have been compared. These correlations and comparisons allowed us to provide a further contribution to the understanding of the Quaternary evolution of the drainage systems and the landscape of the Central Apennines chain.
