Researchers from CRISP deal investigations in the domain of land evaluation and in connecting landscale with quality of its agricultural productions. The undertaken approaches range from classics soil capability studies to advanced procedures of viticultural zoning. In such contexts, the whole chain of the evaluation is made within the CRISP laboratories, from soil survey (sampling […]

RESEARCH ON CONTAMINATED SOILS
The term “contaminated site” refers to all those areas in which, following previous or current human activities, it is detected an alteration of the qualitative characteristics of soil, subsoil and groundwater that pose a risk to human health. The Italian legislation on remediation of contaminated sites, introduced by the Italian Decree D.M. 471/99, has been […]
SOIL FORENSICS
Soil Forensics is the study of the soil – which includes soil morphology, mineralogy, chemistry, physics and geophysics coupled with soil mapping – to answer legal questions and support the investigation at the crime scene. Soil description and interpretation can be used to answer questions such as “What soil is?” “Where it came from?” and […]
SOILS IN MUSEUMS
CRISP devote special attention to the soil in terms of its cultural heritage value and living testimony of the past. Related to this soil function, CRISP carried out, among its activities, both pedoarchaeological research and the production of soil monoliths for museum exhibitions. The pedoarchaeological research studies the genesis, properties and characteristics of soils from […]
