Reliable high resolution physical properties correlation in sediments as a powerful tool for geological exploitation and natural hazard issues

We report the standardized procedures, developed in the last fifteen years at the IAMC-CNR Petrophysical Laboratory, with the aim to obtain reliable High Resolution Petrophysical Properties (HRPP) correlation in marine and terrestrial sediment. In the frame of a multidisciplinary approach, and depending of used scale correlation (which can vary from centimetric to decimetric/metric), the correlated petrophysical parameters combined with high resolution seismic and geoelectric profiles interpretation, sedimentological and geochronological data, may be a powerful tools to give new insight in geological exploitation and natural hazard. Several examples of geological applications are here presented and discussed.
