High-Resolution Sub-Bottom Survey Reveals Hidden Histories in Sicily

High-Resolution Sub-Bottom Survey Reveals Hidden Histories in Sicily

The coastal and seabed environments surrounding Sicily are layered with geological complexity and millennia of human history. In a recent high-resolution sub-bottom profiling survey conducted in Porto Empedocle harbor, high-resolution acoustic data were acquired that reflect this dual legacy. The work was part of a project encompassing underwater archaeological surveys for archaeological risk assessment in preparation for the creation of a route for a submarine pipeline near Porto Empedocle.

Using a GeoAcoustics GeoPulse Compact sub-bottom profiler paired with a Trimble Applanix POS MV WaveMaster inertial navigation system, the team mapped the stratigraphy of the harbor seabed with high resolution. The data set revealed soft silt deposits draped over Pliocene-aged gray clay from the Monte Narbonne Formation. A strong acoustic return at approximately 22-m depth—anomalous in character and potentially anthropogenic—was of particular interest.

This article outlines the tools and methodology employed, the workflows developed for data acquisition and processing, and a representative example from the data set. The Porto Empedocle survey demonstrates how modern remote sensing technologies, when applied with geological and historical awareness, can support both environmental monitoring and the safeguarding of submerged cultural heritage.

Manuscript Extension Submission Deadline 27 October 2025: Indigenous Maritime Archaeology

https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/61150/indigenous-maritime-archaeology

Indigenous Maritime Archaeology aims to broaden our understanding of the archaeological record worldwide both above and below the water’s surface by incorporating Indigenous histories and worldviews. It goes beyond simply studying sites underwater and encourages the active participation of Indigenous Peoples in Maritime Archaeology. This is in keeping with the growing awareness of Indigenous Archaeology both within the discipline and also with the greater public.

It goes beyond archaeological sites, the traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples and includes the entire archaeological record worldwide, including areas both in the near shore environment and offshore underwater. It may include typical underwater archaeological sites, such as shipwrecks, but it can also include other areas of interest, such as the study of Indigenous Mariculture, Cultural Landscapes and others.

The first Indigenous Maritime Archaeology conference in Canada took place on Saturday, April 15th in Vancouver, British Columbia. Topics included the archaeology of submerged sites in the Pacific Northwest Coast, environmental change over the years and how it has affected First Nations Culture and new perspectives on finding additional archaeological sites underwater.

This research topic provides a forum for publications resulting from the conference as well as others. It will feature articles that share information about research being done both in the Pacific Northwest Coast and other parts worldwide.

This Research Topic accepts the following article types, unless otherwise specified in the Research Topic description:

  • Brief Research Report
  • Case Report
  • Classification
  • Clinical Trial
  • Editorial
  • General Commentary
  • Hypothesis and Theory
  • Methods
  • Mini Review
  • … View all formats

Articles that are accepted for publication by our external editors following rigorous peer review incur a publishing fee charged to Authors, institutions, or funders.

Request for Proposals: In collaboration with Schmidt Ocean Institute

Ocean Exploration & Discovery

https://www.nationalgeographic.org/society/grants-and-investments/rfp-soings

In collaboration with the Schmidt Ocean Institute (SOI), the National Geographic Society has issued a request for proposals for ocean exploration and discovery. 

In 2022, SOI and the society began a partnership to advance ocean science and exploration, with a goal to provide early career ocean scientists from around the world the opportunity to lead impactful projects that explore, understand, and inform the protection of the ocean. The partnership also builds on both organizations’ commitments to support leadership development in the ocean sciences and provide funding and access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure.

Under this partnership, the organizations are recruiting and supporting early-career scientists who can take advantage of one berth space and the research infrastructure aboard SOI’s “Falkor (too)” research vessel during its 2026 season traversing the east coast of South America. The Falkor (too) provides cutting-edge space for pioneering ocean research and technology development projects. The vessel has onboard laboratories, underwater robot and camera capabilities, a high-performance computing system, and the ability to trial and implement new tools for capacity development and ocean research. To cover travel and project related costs, the society will award grants of up to $20,000 to selected research, conservation, and/or technology projects. Awardees will also join the Explorer Community as National Geographic Explorers and have access to opportunities for training, capacity development and network building.

In alignment with the outlined criteria, selected projects must occur in the identified regions Falkor (too) will traverse in 2026 and be compatible and/or aligned with at least one of the overarching expedition projects slated for the year. Projects will be prioritized that align with overarching expedition projects slated for the year within the following subfields: biogeochemistry, mid-water biodiversity exploration, physical oceanography, mesophotic ecosystems, marine technology, and underwater seamounts.

Funding requests for this opportunity can be up to $20,000. Projects can be up to one year in length and the fieldwork must occur in 2026.

Candidates should propose work that does not require additional onboard team members besides existing Falkor (too) staff who can support logistical and technical needs with onboard instruments; it is anticipated that a single berth will be available for this project. Candidates who demonstrate that they would benefit from access to scientific infrastructure on Falkor (too) for which they normally would not have access, and who have strong local networks that will further project impacts will also be prioritized.

This opportunity is best suited for early-career scientists with experience in marine sciences and the ability to lead ship-based oceanographic science, deep sea research, and/or other exploratory research with limited guidance. “Early-career professional” is defined as someone who is looking to establish themselves better in their field, and/or those seeking mentorship from others in their field and beyond. This funding opportunity is open to applicants over the age of 18.
