The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

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

We present a geodynamic reconstruction of the Central–Western Mediterranean and
neighboring areas during the last 50Myr, including magmatological and tectonic …

The geological structure of continental lithosphere shows complex variety that is inherited
into orogenic belts and influences the localization and amplification of contractional …

The Meso-Cenozoic stratigraphical successions that crop out in central Italy are part of the
sedimentary wedge developed on the southern Neotethyan passive margin. On the previous …

Mesozoic to Cenozoic evolution of the central part of the Adriatic plate (External Dinarides
and Adriatic foreland) is still a matter of debate. This is expressed by opposing …

The kinematics of subduction zones shows a variety of settings that can provide clues for
dynamic understandings. Two reference frames are used here to describe the simple 2D …

We present an interpretation of the eastern half portion of the CROP 11 line, a deep
reflection seismic profile 265 km long that cuts across the central Apennines from the …

This paper aims at summarizing the current extent and architecture of the former Mesozoic
passive margin of North Africa from North Algeria in the west up to the Ionian‐Calabrian arc …

On 6 April (01: 32 UTC) 2009 a MW 6.1 normal faulting earthquake struck the axial area of
the Abruzzo region in central Italy. We study the geometry of fault segments using high …
