Abstract

The collection about the MAGIC Project (Marine Geohazards along the Italian Coasts) presents the result of a comprehensive cartographic and scientific overview of geohazard features across the Italian offshore regions. The Project mapped 15 geodynamically distinct regions through a standardized methodology and a unified legend. The outcomes highlight how the interplay of tectonic, volcanic, sedimentary, and oceanographic processes shape the seafloor and pose risks to coastal and offshore infrastructures. Key hazards include widespread landslides, fluid venting, volcanic seamounts, and active faulting. The maps also reveal the influence of structural lineaments, sediment transport, and erosional dynamics in shaping submarine landscapes. Each regional study contributes to a broader understanding of marine geohazards, offering essential data for future research and for guiding sustainable development and risk mitigation in Italy's coastal zones. The MAGIC Project thus serves as a foundational resource for marine geoscience and hazard assessment in tectonically active Mediterranean settings.
