On 20 March 2026, the Department of Earth and Geoenvironmental Sciences of the University of Bari will host the final seminar of the PRIN PNRR BERMS – Beach EnviRonMentS project. The event will provide an important opportunity to present and discuss the main outcomes of the project, bringing together researchers, academics, and students interested in coastal systems.
Following the institutional welcome by Prof. Annamaria Fornelli, the seminar will be introduced and chaired by the project leaders, Prof. Massimo Moretti (University of Bari, Principal Investigator) and Prof. Salvatore Critelli (University of Calabria). Several scientific contributions will be presented, focusing on the integrated analysis of sandy beaches in southern Italy. Presentations will address:
Integrated geophysical and ecological studies at Torre Guaceto;
Petrographic analyses and sediment dynamics at the Sibari site;
The role of biotic components in shoreline evolution, with a focus on Porto Cesareo.
The seminar will conclude with a round table discussion on integrated coastal monitoring, followed by closing remarks from the project coordinators. The event will offer a valuable opportunity to explore innovative methodologies for coastal research and to promote multidisciplinary approaches to the sustainable management of sandy beaches.
