Vertical tearing of oceanic slabs has been well documented at subduction zones. It remains
unclear whether a subducting continent can tear vertically. Origin of the continental-scale …

Both Cretaceous arc-type and intraplate rocks are widely distributed in SE China, in
association with subduction of the paleo-Pacific Plate. However, it remains unclear whether …

An outline of the geology of the Italian Northern Apennines, to accompany a geological map
at 1: 250,000 scale covering the Emilia-Romagna, Marche, Tuscany and Umbria regions, is …

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 …

Studying travertine deposits and the network of banded calcite veins that form their roots in
the substratum can place important constraints on neotectonic activity and the …

The Italian historical earthquake record is among the richest worldwide; as such it allows for
the development of advanced techniques for retrieving quantitative information by …

Segments of flat subduction are recognized in subduction zones, but little is known about the
behavior of slabs along the edges of flat slab segments. Well-constrained earthquake data …

There is growing interest in how geofluid emissions are released in the atmosphere by the
planet's geodynamic activity, and how much they contribute to the global budget of …

Carbonation of ultramafic rocks is a key piece of the global carbon cycle taking place from
the seafloor to the surficial environment and becoming particularly efficient in the genesis of …

Quaternary carbonate-seated maar-diatremes in the Volsci Range are one of the most
intriguing products of the west-directed subduction of the Adriatic slab that drove the …
