The Lagoon of Venice： geological setting,evolution and land subsidence

The paper deals with the geological setting, history and subsidence of the Venetian Plain. Major attention is paid to the Pleistocene-Holocene stratigraphic sequence in the Lagoon of Venice, in relation to its origin that datesback to 6-7 kyr BP. Geological land subsidence, which played an important role in the origin and the evolution of the lagoon, and anthropogenic subsidence, that has recently assumed a major importance for the Venetian environment, are discussed. Considering also the sealevel rise, 23 cm loss in land elevation has occurred in the last century, leading to increased flooding events and environmental problems that require protective works.     

郯庐断裂在渤海海域的地质特征及其演化

纵贯我国东部的郯庐断裂带，切割穿越不同的构造单元，有着长期复杂的演化历史。对地质构造、地层发育、岩浆活动、矿产及地震活动均有明显的控制作用。其中山东沂沐断带、渤海郯庐断带和下辽河断带都是郯庐断裂带重要组成部分。因此，研究郯庐断带的性质及演化历史有极其重要的意义。但关于郯庐断裂的性质众说纷云，
