The tectonic history of the western Tethys since the Late Triassic is illustrated through a set
of computer-generated plate reconstructions, which are based on a rigorous plate motions …

Assessing the size of a former ocean of which only remnants are found in mountain belts is
challenging but crucial to understanding subduction and exhumation processes. Here we …

Circulation of water masses, sediment, and biotope between the sub-basins of the
Mediterranean Sea strongly depends on morphological oceanic gateways. These …

Abstract The Ionian Zone (IZ) is one of the key elements of the fold and thrust belt (FTB) of
the Albanian and Hellenides orogen and contains large outcrops of Triassic evaporites. The …

Despite the high detection level of the Italian seismic network and the risk associated with its
fault networks, Central‐Southern Italy has no unique geophysical model of the crust able to …

We defined the seismotectonic setting of the external Marche Apennines (central Italy) by
integrating geomorphological, structural and seismological data. The area is characterized …

We present an overview of the seismogenic source model of the Adriatic domain included in
the latest version of the DISS database (http://diss. rm. ingv. it/diss/) and in the European …

In plate kinematic reconstructions, the restoration of rifted margins and their fossil
equivalents exposed in orogens remains challenging. Tight fit reconstructions rely on the …

Whereas most of the stress inversion methods using fault slip data only minimize the angle
between the measured striation and a computed shear stress to find the best fitting reduced …

Abstract The South West Adriatic Margin (SAM) includes a steep and morphologically
complex continental slope stretching about 600 km from the Pelagosa sill to the Otranto …
