Chapter A method based on beach profile analysis for shoreline identification
Coastal erosion coupled with human-induced pressure has severely affected the coastal areas of the Mediterranean region. In this context, the Pisa coastal plain shows a long history of erosion, which started at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The work aims to provide a method and a software to extract the shoreline position. The algorithm is based on the variation of the topographic beach profile caused by the transition from water to sand. The algorithm is promoted by the release of a QGIS v3.x plugin uploaded on the official repository of the software.
Nutrition, Food Markets and Agriculture
Today, nutrition is mainly discussed under nutritional, medical-health or ideological aspects (e.g. vegetarianism, veganism, etc.). Although the food industry represents one of the most important markets, questions of food production, agriculture, food trade and biodiversity are mostly discussed under national auspices. Not only on the producer side, but also from the consumer perspective, food markets - although still nationally structured - have become more and more global markets, which can be seen, for example, in the development of food commodity prices. In addition, large food corporations are pursuing the strategy of standardizing the entire value chains in the agricultural and food s...

Le inchieste del commissario Ercoli N. 6
Consigliato ad un pubblico 14+ È la storia della famiglia nobile del Conte Oronzo degli Esposti. A Monteleto la famiglia del Conte finisce per intrecciarsi con quella del commissario Ercoli. Il Conte possiede una grossa tenuta ai margini del bosco che fu smembrata e divisa tra diversi contadini all’epoca della riforma agraria, subito dopo la Seconda guerra mondiale. Sembra una famiglia molto tradizionale, il Conte Oronzo, la moglie e due figli, un maschio e una femmina. Vivono in una grande casa che loro stessi hanno definito “La Casa Bianca” soprattutto perché è proprio bianca di colore, però anche per il fatto di essere un’abitazione che fa pensare alle ville ottocentesche americane. Vicino alla casa c’è un grande pozzo a vento che la caratterizza e che serve per l’irrigazione di tutti i campi intorno.
Ninth International Symposium “Monitoring of Mediterranean Coastal Areas: Problems and Measurement Techniques”

In the Symposium Scholars had illustrated their activities and exchanged innovative proposals, with common aims to promote actions to preserve coastal marine environment. Despite the COVID 19 pandemic, the success of this edition is attested by the 170 contributions selected by the Scientific Committee from among those received.
