“…In the Northern Apennines, the Verrucano siliciclastics are overlain by shallow-marine, either mixed siliciclasticcarbonate or carbonate deposits, and rest unconformably on Lower Palaeozoic (Cambrian?-Ordovician) through Permian siliciclastic successions with subordinate carbonate and rare metavolcanics (Tongiorgi et al 1977;Martini et al 1986;Pandeli 2002;Spina et al 2006). A possible earliest Triassic age has been suggested for the siliciclastics at the top of some Palaeozoic successions of southern Tuscany (Spina et al 2001;Cirilli et al 2002;Lazzarotto et al 2003).…”

“…These are stratigraphically equivalent to late Ladinian fluvial siliciclastics of the (metamorphosed) Verrucano Group exposed at Pisani Mounts (i.e. the Verruca Fm; Tongiorgi et al 1977) and on Elba Island (Bortolotti et al 2001), and to (metamorphosed) alluvial redbeds at the base of the Vinca Fm in the Apuan Alps (Coli et al 2003 and references therein). Each of these regional correlates of the upper-cycle redbeds of the Punta Bianca succession stratigraphically overlie Palaeozoic basement with erosive sedimentary contact.…”

“…In the Alpine-Mediterranean region, the continental redbeds and shallow-marine siliciclastics that manifest the early depositional phases of this continental rifting are referred to as the ''Verrucano tectofacies'' (Trevisan 1966;Tongiorgi et al 1977;Cassinis et al 1980). The term ''Verrucano'' was first used by the Tuscan Geologist Paolo Savi (1832) in reference to all the clastic sedimentary rocks that underlie the predominantly carbonate succession of the Tuscan Mesozoic.…”

In the Alpine-Mediterranean region, the continental redbeds and shallow-marine siliciclastics related to the early depositional phases of the Late Permian-Mesozoic continental rifting are referred to as the most common representative of the ''Verrucano tectofacies''. The Verrucano-type successions exposed in southern Tuscany are diachronous, spanning from Triassic to earliest Jurassic in age, and accumulated within the Tuscan domain, a paleogeographic region of continental crust that due to the opening of the Piedmont-Ligurian ocean formed part of the Adria passive-margin. They belong to the metamorphic Verrucano Group and the non-metamorphic Pseudoverrucano fm. Viewed overall, these Verrucano-type successions appear to manifest five episodes or pulses of an ongoing continental rifting. With the exception of the first episode that developed entirely within a terrestrial setting, each one is represented by basal Verrucano-type continental siliciclastics overlain by compositionally mixed marine deposits, which resulted from four diachronous, post-Middle Triassic transgressions. This suite of tectonic pulses produced the progressive westward widening (backstepping) of the Tuscan domain in the rifting south-Tuscany area.

“…The generally accepted regional hydrogeological framework [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] is based on the so-called "confined multilayered aquifer" system [33], and is formed by two main confined aquifers, hosted in coarse sediments, sands, and gravels. These are separated by clay-rich layers or are locally connected in areas without clay units.…”

The Integration of 3D Modeling and Simulation to Determine the Energy Potential of Low-Temperature Geothermal Systems in the Pisa (Italy) Sedimentary Plain

Shallow, low-temperature geothermal resources can significantly reduce the environmental impact of heating and cooling. Based on a replicable standard workflow for three-dimensional (3D) geothermal modeling, an approach to the assessment of geothermal energy potential is proposed and applied to the young sedimentary basin of Pisa (north Tuscany, Italy), starting from the development of a geothermal geodatabase, with collated geological, stratigraphic, hydrogeological, geophysical and thermal data. The contents of the spatial database are integrated and processed using software for geological and geothermal modeling. The models are calibrated using borehole data. Model outputs are visualized as three-dimensional reconstructions of the subsoil units, their volumes and depths, the hydrogeological framework, and the distribution of subsoil temperatures and geothermal properties. The resulting deep knowledge of subsoil geology would facilitate the deployment of geothermal heat pump technology, site selection for well doublets (for open-loop systems), or vertical heat exchangers (for closed-loop systems). The reconstructed geological-hydrogeological models and the geothermal numerical simulations performed help to define the limits of sustainable utilization of an area's geothermal potential.

ZusammenfassungIn S\u (NE-Spanien, Sardinien und NW-Apennin: Monti Pisani, Punta Bianea) seheint die mittel-triasisehe Transgression fiber Randgebiete eines intrakratonischen Beckens durch die Morphologie der Beekenr~inder selbst und die tektonisehe Aktivitiit entlang dieser bedingt zu sein.Die Analyse einiger sedimentiirer Abfolgen erlaubt eine Unterseheidung dreier Typen solcher Beekenrgnder:1. Beckenrand mit sehmalem Sehelf, der gegen ein nntiefes Beeken mit eingesehriinkter Wasserzirkulation abfiillt (Zentral-und SW-Sardinien);2. Beckeurand mit breitem Sehelf, der graduell in ein seiehtes Becken fibergeht (NOSpanien, Monti Pisani, NW-Sardinien);8. Beckenrand mit schmalem Schelf und angrenzendem steilem ,,slope", charakterisiert durch tektonisehe und vulkanisehe Aktivitiit (Punta Bianca). AbstractIn Southwestern Mediterranean Europe (NE Spain, Sardinia and NW Apennines e. g. Monti Pisani and Punta Bianca) the Middle-Triassic transgression on a margin of an intraeratonie basin appears to be controlled by the different morphology and tectonic activity of the margin itself.The analysis of some sequences leads to recognize three different kinds of margins: 1. margin with a narrow shelf sloping toward a very shallow restricted basin (Central and Southwestern Sardinia); 2. margin with a broad shelf gently sloping toward a shallow basin (NE Spain, Monti Pisani, NW Sardinia); S. margin with a narrow shelf and steep slope marked by tectonic and volcanic activity (Punta Bianca).
