Mid-late Holocene depositional architecture and palaeoenvironmental evolution of Pisa city area from subsurface data

Stratigraphic correlations involving MAPPA cores and selected high-quality borehole data from the Pisa plain subsurface dataset were performed along a grid of perpendicular cross-sections. These sections were used to reconstruct spatial distribution patterns of fluvio-deltaic facies associations overlying lagoon clays (“pancone”) in the uppermost 15-20 meters of Pisa subsurface. High-resolution reconstruction of depositional architecture furnished new insights on the mid-late Holocene palaeogeographic and palaeohydrographic evolution of the Pisa urban and periurban area.
