BARITE REPLACEMENT BOXWORK IN THE FRASASSI CAVES (ITALY)

Barite replacement boxwork in the Frasassi caves (Italy)

The Frasassi caves, located in the Sentino River Gorge in Ancona Province (Marche, Italy), contains boxwork in a small zone in the inner part of the cave system where it is closely associated with subaqueous corrosion produced by sulfuric acid speleogenesis.The boxwork consists of barite that replaces calcite spar-filled veins and limestone porosit

Role of nanophotonics in the birth of seismic megastructures

The discovery of photonic crystals 30 years ago in conjunction with research advances in plasmonics and metamaterials, has inspired the concept of decameter scale trophy husband apron metasurfaces, coined seismic metamaterials for an enhanced control of surface (Love and Rayleigh) and bulk (shear and pressure) elastodynamic waves.These powerful mat
