The sole examples of currently stabilized and active transgressive dune fields in Italy are on Sardinia's west coast, due to conditions of strong unimodal wind from the north-west. In the context of a MUR-PRIN 2022 Project we present a series of preliminary results regarding the coast of Piscinas (Sardinia, Italy), where an active dunefield develops, covering 132 ha. Geomorphological and stratigraphic information of the modern and ancient deposits outcropping along the coasts is coupled with geophysical and HR bathymetric data from the facing continental shelf. The main aim is to obtain a land -sea stratigraphic continuum of the aeolian architecture in order to reconstruct the transgressive post-LGM episodes, and related coastal dynamics.

Abstract
The sole examples of currently stabilized and active transgressive dune fields in Italy are on Sardinia's west coast, due to conditions of strong unimodal wind from the north-west. In the context of a MUR-PRIN 2022 Project we present a series of preliminary results regarding the coast of Piscinas (Sardinia, Italy), where an active dunefield develops, covering 132 ha. Geomorphological and stratigraphic information of the modern and ancient deposits outcropping along the coasts is coupled with geophysical and HR bathymetric data from the facing continental shelf. The main aim is to obtain a land -sea stratigraphic continuum of the aeolian architecture in order to reconstruct the transgressive post-LGM episodes, and related coastal dynamics.Pubblicazioni consigliate
