This chapter describes a specific procedure that the Italian Central Institute for Marine Research (ICRAM) is researching on, in collaboration with the University of Rome La Sapienza, for the characterization of contaminated sediments. In the first part a description of the procedures developed in these years by ICRAM for a systematic and scientific approach to the characterization of contaminated sediments is provided. In particular it is illustrated how data analysis is performed by means of geostatistics in order to evaluate sediment volumes to be removed. Then, attention is focused on the need to develop an automatic procedure to estimate sediment contamination and the proposed procedure is described in detail. At last, results about applications of the procedure for some case studies are reported and the procedure's future development and progress are discussed.

Abstract
This chapter describes a specific procedure that the Italian Central Institute for Marine Research (ICRAM) is researching on, in collaboration with the University of Rome La Sapienza, for the characterization of contaminated sediments. In the first part a description of the procedures developed in these years by ICRAM for a systematic and scientific approach to the characterization of contaminated sediments is provided. In particular it is illustrated how data analysis is performed by means of geostatistics in order to evaluate sediment volumes to be removed. Then, attention is focused on the need to develop an automatic procedure to estimate sediment contamination and the proposed procedure is described in detail. At last, results about applications of the procedure for some case studies are reported and the procedure's future development and progress are discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
