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 …

I combine recently published GPS results to derive a geodetic horizontal velocity field
consistent at the scale of the Mediterranean and the surrounding Alpine belts. The velocity …

Abstract Precise Point Positioning (PPP) has been demonstrated to be a powerful tool in
geodetic and geodynamic applications. Although its accuracy is almost comparable with …

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 …

To investigate the kinematics of the Adriatic region, we integrate continuous and episodic
GPS measurements with Mw> 4.5 earthquake slip vectors selected from the Regional …

We present the velocity field in Italy derived from over 300 continuous GPS stations operated
in the 1998–2009 time span. The GPS network maps the whole country with a mean inter …

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 …

This paper presents a latest compilation of data on the present-day stress pattern in the
Pannonian basin, and its tectonic environment, the Alpine–Dinaric orogens. Extensional …

We provide new data on relative sea-level change from the late Holocene for two locations
in the central Mediterranean: Sardinia and NE Adriatico. They are based on precise …

Abstract The Eastern Southern Alps fold‐and‐thrust belt (ESA) is part of the seismically
active S‐verging retro‐wedge of the European Alps. Its temporal tectonic evolution during …
