Little Ice Age in the Taranto Area (Apulia, Southern Italy). The present study focuses on the key role that the interactions between sea level changes and standing and hydrogeological mechanisms played on the evolution of the interconnected dynamics of the actual geomorphological and hydrogeological system of the Taranto area, from the Quaternary to nowadays. Moreover the retrieval of historical maps and files allowed us to recognize clear tracks of the Little Ice Age in the area of interest.
