Epigenetic karstic systems in carbonate rocks commonly result from progressive dissolution
by acidic meteoric waters over thousands to millions of years. The generation of secondary …

Ascending hydrothermal fluid flow and subsequent hypogene karstification can control the
formation of high-permeability zones in folded or faulted carbonate rocks. This study …

This work focuses on the role played by depositional/diagenetic heterogeneities on the
vertical growth of sub-seismic, high-angle structural elements such as joints, sheared joints …

This work focuses on the nature, relative timing, and multi-scale dimensional properties of
both background and fault-related fracture networks that crosscut the Lower Cretaceous …

Caves developed in carbonate units have a significant role in fluid flow, but most of these
subsurface voids are below seismic resolution. We concentrated our study on four caves to …

The northern Calabrian ranges and the southern Apennines are part of a single orogenic
segment of the Alpine chain system framing the central-western Mediterranean Sea. Three …

Carbonate reservoirs are often affected by fractures and karst that increase rock's
permeability. An accurate characterization of reservoir architecture, fracture attributes and …

Depositional and diagenetic processes profoundly control the structural evolution of shallow-
water carbonates through time. We focus on the Lower Jurassic platform carbonates …

Extensional faults are key components of foreland basin systems. They form within the upper
crust in response to flexure of the lithosphere and accommodate subsidence within the …

Fault activities in sea areas always produce devastative marine geohazards. For marine
geohazard assessment, it is important to know the location, geometric structure, and activity …
