Twenty years of the Geological Cartography Project

The monograph presents the results achieved in about 20 years from the CARG project, the geological and geothematic Cartography Project at 1:50,000 scale of the entire national territory, presented during the conference held in Rome on 14 and 15 October 2008. The volume, in additon to providing information about technological innovations in the mapping sector, shows the contributions to geological knowledge regarding the geological risk, subsidence, earthquake risk, marine geology, infrastructure design, geophysics, civil protection, stratigraphy, volcanic hazard, teaching and scientific dissemination. In the monograph is enclosed an educational-popular atlas collecting material related to the exhibition "180 square meters of geological maps" realized in occasion of the conference. The exhibition, planned following the 10 science themes proposed by the International Year of Planet Earth, runs throughout Italy according to an ideal itinerary illustrating for each region a geological-environmental theme by the illustration of a geological sheet.
