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 …

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

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 …

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 …

We present a new digital crustal model for Moho depth and crustal structure in Europe,
Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard, European Arctic shelf, and the North Atlantic Ocean (72W …

Broadband waveform inversion of ground velocities in the 0.02–0.10 Hz frequency band is
successfully applied to 181 earthquakes with ML≥ 3 of the April 2009 L'Aquila, Italy …

The accurate definition of 3-D crustal structures and, in primis, the Moho depth, are the most
important requirement for seismological, geophysical and geodynamic modelling in complex …

We present the velocity field of the Italian area derived from continuous GPS observations
from 2003 to 2007. The GPS sites were installed by different institutions and for different …

Abstract In 2016–2017, a destructive sequence of earthquakes affected a wide portion of
Central Italy, activating a complex, 80-km long system of SW-dip** normal faults and …
