During the XXVIII Italian Antarctic expedition (2012/13), 338 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the CLITEITAM project in northern and southern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, sediments and fossil woods. The investigated regions are within Convoy Range ST 57-60/1, Daniels Range SR 57-58/14, Franklin Island ST 57-60/2*, Freyberg Mountains SS 58-60/1, Mount Discovery ST 57-60/10, Mount Harmsworth ST 57-60/9, Mount Joyce SS 55-57/16, Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9, Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5, Mount Soza SR 57-58/15, Ob' Bay SR 57-58/11, Reeves Névé SS 55-57/12, Ross Island ST 57-60/6*, Sequence Hills SS 55-57/8, Taylor Glacier ST 57-60/5 and Welcome Mountain SS 55-57/4 USGS sheets. Project title: CLImate-tectonics Interactions along the TransAntactic Mountains Front and comparison with the arctic record in the Greenland-Svalbard region.

During the XVIII and XIX Italian Antarctic expeditions (2002/03, 2003/04), 668 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "Lithospheric discontinuities in Victoria Land. Geochemical-geochronological-structural study of lower Paleozoic igneous rocks and their bearings on the accretion and long-term evolution of the Antarctic plate" in northern and southern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The investigated regions are within Coulman Island SS 58-60/6, Freyberg Mountains SS 58-60/1, Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9, Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5, Mount Soza SR 57-58/15, Ross Island ST 57-60/6*, Sequence Hills SS 55-57/8, Taylor Glacier ST 57-60/5 and Yule Bay SR 57-58/12 USGS sheets.

During the XIX and XXI Italian Antarctic expeditions (2003/04, 2005/06), 645 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the INTERTAM project in northern and southern Victoria Land and in central Transantarctic Mountains. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The investigated regions are within Cape Selborne SU 55-60/2, Carlyon Glacier ST 57-60/13*, Daniels Range SR 57-58/14, Mount Discovery ST 57-60/10, Mount Harmsworth ST 57-60/9, Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9, Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5, Mount Olympus SU 55-60/1, Ross Island ST 57-60/6*, Sequence Hills SS 55-57/8, Taylor Glacier ST 57-60/5 and Welcome Mountain SS 55-57/4 USGS sheets.
