The studies, led by OGS researchers, shed light on the seismic sequences that occurred in 2025 between the southernmost tip of South America and the South Shetland Islands in Antarctica

The programme, carried out by CNR, ENEA, and OGS, involves 185 researchers and technicians across 31 scientific activities held at the Mario Zucchelli Station, Concordia Station, and aboard the icebreaker Laura Bassi. The goal is to study climate, oceans, ice, biodiversity, and human health in extreme environments

Florence Colleoni, an OGS researcher specialised in polar studies, also contributed to the scientific report Overshoot and the Cryosphere: Averting Global Meltdown

The offices will be closed to mark Trieste's local patron saint's day

The 3D geophysical survey, conducted by researchers as part of the FROST.INI project to investigate structural subsidence at the Erzherzog-Johann-Hütte mountain refuge, led to the identification of a permafrost layer approximately 10 metres thick

The initiative aims to contribute to the objectives of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030) by leveraging OGS's scientific expertise and research infrastructure

The initiative is coordinated by OGS, which has one of its offices in Milazzo, and it involves the University of Bologna, Politecnico di Milano, ENEA, the National Research Council (CNR), the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), and the Anton Dohrn Zoological Station as partners

The research campaign will take place during the two voyages undertaken by the Laura Bassi: first, on its journey from Italy to New Zealand and, subsequently, on its return voyage to Italy in 2027, following the completion of activities in Antarctica as part of the National Antarctic Research Programme (PNRA)

The study highlights potential implications for methane release, geological hazards and the need for long-term monitoring of the Chilean continental margin

A recent study by OGS highlights the effectiveness of the infrastructure, while also emphasizing the need to combine these climate change adaptation measures with policies to mitigate their effects on coastal ecosystems
