Description
- Abstract
- The main goals of the CROP Project are: 1. Understanding of the main geodynamic processes responsible for the current geological arrangement of Italy; 2. Definition and prevention of geologic hazard; 3. Research of energy resources as idrocarbons and geothermal fields; 4. Stable zones identification for industrial installations. The knowledge of deep geometries of the Italian crust acquired inside CROP Project and the integration and revision of pre-existing geological/geophysical data are driving scientist to review the geological model of Italy. In the same time this research activity has allowed the italian technological development in seismic reflection surveys, seismic processing and interpretation techniques of NVR data.
