En este estudio en el sitio arqueológico griego de Selinônte, se llevaron a cabo estudios geomorfológicos y geoarqueológicos detallados con el fin de reconstruir la evolución del paisaje que ocurrió antes y durante la antropización del sitio y verificar posibles correlaciones entre cambios geoambientales y eventos humanos que caracterizó casi cuatro siglos de historia de la ciudad. Con un enfoque multidisciplinario y diferentes técnicas de levantamiento, este estudio fue testigo del papel que juega el clima, la configuración geomorfológica y los georrecursos en el condicionamiento del desarrollo de la ciudad y la estrecha relación que en ocasiones se observa entre hechos históricos y procesos naturales. Esto incluyó la controvertida y nunca descubierta obra hidráulica de Empédocles, quien en el 444 a. C., según fuentes textuales, resolvió un problema de salud pública vinculado a la presencia de zonas pantanosas.
