The cruise MAGIC ISMAR 02/11 is aimed at the acquisition of multibeam ecometric data in the two map sheets of the southern Adriatic sea that are under ISMAR competence: Otranto (map sheet 49) and Tricase (map sheet 48). During the oceanographic cruise, the acquisition of the slope area and the continental shelf is planned for both sheet 49 Otranto and sheet 48 Tricase. The thematic maps that will be created will constitute a cognitive tool that the Civil Protection Department will have at its disposal for the management of territorial risks, but also a basis for research activities in marine areas that are geologically and largely still little known. MaGIC Project is funded by the Italian Civil Protection Department for the acquisition of high-resolution morphobatimetric data along Italian continental margins. Is expected the production of “Map of the elements of geohazards of the Itralian Seas”, consisting of 72 map sheets at scale 1:50.000, of which 19 pertaining to ISMAR-CNR UOS Bologna. For each sheet there are four thematic maps. They highlight different aspects of the geohazard and the different scales at which it can be investigated and represented.
