   Lithological map of Trentino

   Drawn up by A. Bosellini, A. Castellarin, G.V. Dal Piaz and M. Nardin, it derives from a critical reinterpretation of the geological cartography made in the mid-1980s. On the basis of the data published up to that time, a lithological and structural map was derived that could serve as a cognitive basis on which to develop subsequent detailed studies.

   Geological maps 1:25,000

   In 2001 the Geological Survey started printing a series of geological maps at a scale of 1:25,000. The aim of this series is to print a detailed geological map of Trentino, on an up-to-date topographical basis, with distinctive features compared to national cartography.

   Permafrost and snow cover (study and monitoring activities)

   The Geological Service of the Autonomous Province of Trento, together with the Universities of Padua and Pavia, has devised and tested a new method for measuring snowpack height, based on the use of sensors that record both temperature and light intensity. The aim is to monitor energy exchange at the soil-atmosphere interface in soils under permafrost conditions.

    The 'Cornisello Lakes' section, which is part of Sheet No. 42 'Malè', was promoted to test the applicability of Quaternary survey guidelines inspired by allostratigraphy in the Alpine area. According to these guidelines, one should distinguish depositional units identified on the basis of discontinuity surfaces, both of erosion and accumulation, which delimit them bedded and roofed.

    Geological Cartography - The CARG Project

    At the end of the 1980s, the Project for the creation of national geological cartography at a scale of 1:50,000 got underway, initially in the sphere of the Annual Programme of Urgent Environmental Protection Interventions (L. 67/88) and then in the Three-Year Programme for the Protection of the Environment (L. 305/89) thanks to the allocation of dedicated resources that gave rise to the CARG (CARtografia Geologica) Project. The Project is carried out in collaboration with the Regions and Autonomous Provinces, the CNR and Universities and is coordinated by ISPRA through the Department for the Geological Survey of Italy as the official cartographic body of the State (L. 160/2019).
