“…The new stratigraphy and the mesostructural analyses accomplished in the last years in the frame of the CARG Project (Catalano et al, 2010a, b;2011a, b), support the joint interpretation of the confidential seismic lines acquired by ENI (Catalano et al, 2008(Catalano et al, , 2009 with field data (Avellone et al, 2010). The latter are now calibrated by a crustal profile (SI.RI.PRO.…”

“…"Gela Thrust System" to the southeast (Figs 2, 7 and Catalano et al, 2000a). The Imerese units, stacked above the Sicanian deep-water carbonate thrust systems (see Avellone et al, this guidebook), are buried in Northern-Central Sicily beneath the Gela Thrust System as pointed out by field relationships and high penetration seismic reflections data (Catalano et al, 2008). Three main thrust systems are stacked in Westernmost Sicily, structurally underlying the Panormide tectonic units that outcrop to the north in the San Vito Peninsula and its offshore (Fig.…”

“…The Nebrodi Mountains, together with the Peloritani Mountains, occupy the centraleastern sector of the Sicilian Maghrebian Chain (SMC), which represents the orogenic domain of the so-called "collisional" complex of Sicily [60,62,[67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74]. In particular, the Sicilian orogen presents the maximum axial depression in the north-eastern sector [68], through a first-order thrust surface.…”

The characterization of a groundwater body involves the construction of a conceptual model that constitutes the base knowledge for monitoring programs, hydrogeological risk assessment, and correct management of water resources. In particular, a detailed geological and geophysical approach was applied to define the alluvial Caronia Groundwater Body (CGWB) and to reconstruct a hydrogeological flow model. The analysis of the CGWB, located in north-eastern Sicily, was initially approached through a reanalysis of previous stratigraphic (boreholes) and geophysical (vertical electrical soundings and seismic refraction profiles) data, subsequently integrated by new seismic acquisitions, such as Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) and horizontal-to-vertical seismic ratio (HVSR). The analysis and reinterpretation of geoelectrical data allowed the construction of a preliminary 3D resistivity model. This initial modeling was subsequently integrated by a geophysical data campaign in order to define the depth of the bottom of the shallow CGWB and the thickness of alluvial deposits. Finally, a preliminary mathematical model flow was generated in order to reconstruct the dynamics of underground water. The results show that integration of multidisciplinary data represent an indispensable tool for the characterization of complex physical systems.
