Rugged peaks, large intermontane basins and frequent seismicity all characterize the active
extensional tectonic setting of the southern Apennines. The Matese ridge typifies the active …

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 …

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 …

Through-going joints cutting across beds are often invoked to match large-scale
permeability patterns in tight carbonate reservoirs. However, despite the importance of these …

The topography of orogenic belts responds to several contributions operating at short and
long temporal and spatial (ie, wavelengths) scales, from the surface to the deep mantle …

Wedge-top basins can provide highly sensitive information on the uplift and erosion history
of an evolving collisional belt, but their burial and thermal history has generally been …

The chemical and isotopic features of the fluids (water and gases) in the Lucane thermal
area (southern Italy) have been investigated in order to verify their origin, water temperature …

The increasing availability of high resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) is changing
our viewpoint towards Earth surface landforms. Nevertheless, large-coverage, intermediate …

Active faults within the southern Apennines fold-and-thrust belt modulate the present-day
upwelling of hydrothermal fluids at surface. In the Monte Alpi area, we investigated the …
