The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

The western Mediterranean recorded subduction rollback, slab segmentation and
separation. Here we address the questions of what caused Oligocene rollback initiation, and …

The application of zircon dating to the reconstruction of orogenic systems is invaluable since
time constraints of the geological evolution of orogens are crucial for the proposal of …

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 …

A revision of late Palaeozoic tectonics recorded in Tuscany, Calabria and Corsica is here
presented. We propose that, in Tuscany, upper Carboniferous-Permian shallow-marine to …

Abstract The Catanzaro Trough is a Neogene-Quaternary basin developed in the central
Calabrian Arc, between the Serre and the Sila Massifs, and filled by up to 2000 m of …

In this work, the shallow geothermal heat-exchange potential of a coastal plain in southern
Italy, the Sant'Eufemia plain (Calabria region), was evaluated. Stratigraphic and …

Spatial distribution of concentrations of radon gas in the soil is important for defining high
risk areas because geogenic radon is the major potential source of indoor radon …

We present an original geological map of the north-eastern Serre Batholith (southern Italy),
together with new field and petrographic data of its main five granitoid units. Our study …

Pseudotachylytes (quenched frictional melts produced on a fault by seismic slip) in dry rocks
exhumed from the mid-lower crust are potential indicators of earthquakes that either …
