Flash-flood-driven litter accumulation on beaches studied with aerial imagery and machine learning on Sicily’s northeastern coast, southern Italy | Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences This study examines the distributions and dynamics of litter accumulation in a part of the northeastern coast of Sicily, southern Italy, using a multidisciplinary approach with manned and unmanned aerial systems imagery, a machine-learning algorithm and ...

Sedimentary facies and architecture of mixed bioclastic‐siliciclastic deposits forming in an inferred strait environment: An example from the Early Pleistocene of Calabria, southern Italy Early Pleistocene mixed arenites and their associated conglomerates and sandstones were studied in detail in Calabria, southern Italy. This study suggests that the studied palaeo-strait was not neces...

New paper from our group! Congratulations to Effi and Svea for their publication on the mixed arenites from Cataforio in Calabria: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
