Knowledge

The course aims, through the analysis of various aspects of the geology of the Alpi Apuane (north west Tuscany), to provide general and specific knowledge of the methodology for conducting geological studies in the inner portions of orogenic systems as well as to applied structural works.

Capacità

Alla fine del corso lo studente avrà acquisito:

- migliore capacità di  lettura e realizzazione delle carte geologiche;

- miglior capacità operativa di raccolta, interpretazione e comprensione assetti tettonici sul terreno;

 

Skills

At the end of the course the student will have acquired:

- better ability  interpretation and production of  geological maps;

- improved operational capacity for collection, interpretation and understanding of tectonic structures in natural examples;

Modalità di verifica delle capacità

Durante le uscite sul terreno previste dal corso saranno verificate gli avanzamenti

individuali nelle capacità operative, di lavoro e comprensione degli assetti strutturali naturali.

Assessment criteria of skills

During the field training the indivudual progress in skills for operational work and understanding of natural case studies will be verified.

Comportamenti

Lo studente potrà sviluppare la propria consapevolezza riguardo alle problematiche collegate con gli studi geologici di terreno

Behaviors

The student will be able to develop his / her awareness about the problems related to the field geological studies 

Modalità di verifica dei comportamenti

Durante le prime lezioni saranno valutati il grado di preparazione individuale  con attività di laboratorio (lettura carte geologiche)
In seguito alle attività di terreno saranno richieste agli studenti delle brevi relazioni concernenti gli argomenti trattati

Assessment criteria of behaviors

During the first lessons the degree of individual preparation with laboratory activities (reading geological maps) will be evaluated
Following the field activities, students will be asked to provide short reports on the topics covered

Programma (contenuti dell'insegnamento)

Le Alpi Apuane nella geologia dell’Appennino Settentrionale.

Richiami sulle caratteristiche della strutturazione principale sin-metamorfica: geometrie, ambientazione termo-barica, vincoli cronologici: stratigrafici e radiometrici.

Richiami sulla strutturazione tardiva sin- e post-metamorfica: geometrie, interpretazioni strutturali e ambientazioni geodinamiche.

Materiali lapidei nelle Alpi Apuane: tipi principali, distribuzione e caratteri giacimentologici.

I marmi della Alpi Apuane: varietà merceologiche e giacimentologia.

Mineralizzazioni e strutture deformative.

Il campo di deformazione fragile nelle Alpi Apuane: assetti geometrici e caratteristiche strutturali alle diverse scale. Vincoli geocronologici e stratigrafici della strutturazione fragile tardiva. Strutture fragili ed estrazione del marmo: problematiche di base. Strutture fragili ed assetti idrogeologici.

Syllabus

The Apuan Alps in the geology of the Northern Apennines. - characteristics of the main syn-metamorphic structures: geometries, and PTt framework. - Late to post-metamorphic structures: geometries, structural interpretations and tectonic environments. - Stone materials in the Apuan Alps: main types, distribution and giacimentological characters. - The marbles of the Apuan Alps; types and setting - Introduction to the microstructures of the Apuan marbles. Distribution of the main type s and relations with tectonics. - Mineralization and deformation structures. - Brittle deformation in the Apuan Alps: geometries and characters at different scales. Stratigraphic and geochronological constraints of the brittle structures. - Brittle structures and quarrying activity
