From tomorrow to August 23, the National Research Council's oceanographic ship "Gaia Blu" will embark on a new mission: to investigate the relationship between geodiversity and marine biodiversity, as well as to study the morphology, tectonics, and magmatism of the Tyrrhenian Sea in order to reconstruct its "geological history". These are the goals of the "Iphigenia" campaign, which is being carried out by the CNR in partnership with the Institute of Marine Sciences (Cnr-Ismar) and the Institute of Environmental Geology and Geoengineering (Cnr-Igag), as well as the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), the Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA), Proambiente, Atlantic Technological University (ATU, Ireland), and Sapienza University of Rome. The campaign's study region is located between two undersea reliefs, Tiberino and Albano, in the central-northern Tyrrhenian Sea. It is not the first time that "Gaia Blu" has focused on seabed exploration: the innovative on-board instrumentation allows for the acquisition of useful data to analyze their geology and geomorphology, make paleoclimatic observations by comparing past and current environmental observations, and examine benthic and planktonic marine communities. The goal of this program, in particular, is to explore the area's geological history in order to better understand the relationship between geological and biological variety in a region of the Tyrrhenian Sea that is still relatively unknown today.
