The Mediterranean offers a unique opportunity to study the driving forces of tectonic
deformation within a complex mobile belt. Lithospheric dynamics are affected by slab …

A review of 917 relative sea-level (RSL) data-points has resulted in the first quality-
controlled database constraining the Holocene sea-level histories of the western …

Geodesy, the oldest science, has become an important discipline in the geosciences, in
large part by enhancing Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities over the last 35 years …

The city of Venice and the surrounding lagoonal ecosystem are highly vulnerable to
variations in relative sea level. In the past∼ 150 years, this was characterized by an average …

Abstract We use 2.5 to 14 years long position time series from> 800 continuous Global
Positioning System (GPS) stations to study vertical deformation rates in the Euro …

Abstract During the Cenozoic, the Western Mediterranean region has experienced a
complex subduction history which involved the destruction of the Late Triassic/Jurassic …

Alps and Apennines developed along opposite subductions, which inverted the tethyan
passive continental margins located along the boundaries of Europe, Africa and the Adriatic …

The city of Venice is an extraordinary architectural, artistic and cultural heritage.
Unfortunately, its conservation is increasingly threatened by particularly significant high …

Abstract The Middle East region represents a key site within the Tethyan domain where
continental break-up, collision, backarc extension and escape tectonics are kinematically …

Published and new data exist for relative sea-level change for 105 locations (127 samples)
during the late Holocene, along the Italian (and Istrian) coasts. These data, compared with …
