A MW 6.3 earthquake struck on April 6, 2009 the Abruzzi region (central Italy) producing vast
damage in the L'Aquila town and surroundings. In this paper we present the location and …

The Apennines are a low-temperature accretionary prism generated by the west-directed
subduction of the Adriatic–Ionian plate, whose structural origin is still to be fully understood …

We present QUIN, a “QUaternary fault strain INdicators database”, designed to integrate and
unify published and unpublished local-scale geological information and derive strain …

We present detailed observations of rivers crossing active normal faults in the Central
Apennines, Italy, where excellent constraints exist on the temporal and spatial history of fault …

We present a database of field data for active faults in the central Apennines, Italy, including
trace, fault and main fault locations with activity and location certainties, and slip-rate, slip …

The most recent research studies into the long-term landscape evolution of the Abruzzo
area, carried out over the last twenty years at the “G. d'Annunzio” University of Chieti …

Successive locations of individual large earthquakes (M w> 5.5) over years to centuries can
be difficult to explain with simple Coulomb stress transfer (CST) because it is common for …

This paper forms the Introduction to this Special Issue of Tectonophysics, devoted to
selected scientific research presented during events sponsored by the INQUA …

To determine the importance of receiver fault geometry in Coulomb stress calculations a
new methodology is presented to model faults with variable geometry. Although most …

In order to characterize and quantify the Middle–Late Quaternary and ongoing deformation
within the Southern Aegean forearc, we analyse the major tectonic structures affecting the …
