The Ligurian basin, western Mediterranean Sea, has opened from late Oligocene to early
Miocene times, behind the Apulian subduction zone and partly within the western Alpine …

The review of recent bathymetric and geophysical data collected in the framework of several
research and cartographic projects have allowed a detailed reconstruction of the morpho …

The arcuate shape of the Western Alps is commonly interpreted to result from collisional, NW-
ward indentation of the Adriatic indenter. The radial pattern (≈ 180) of collisional transport …

We focus on the northern Ligurian margin, at the geological junction of the subalpine

Résumé The analysis of the seismicity catalog (1996 to 2019) covering the region from the
Jura mountains to Corsica provides a first-order image of the distribution of earthquakes …

Based on new multibeam bathymetric data, seismic-reflection profiles and side-scan sonar
images, a great number of submarine failures of various types and sizes was identified …

We report the first description of a~ 15 km long NE-SW-striking transtensive fault network
crosscutting the metamorphic units of the Ligurian Alps. The main fault zone, hereby named …
