The Alpine Oligocene plutons are spatially and temporally associated with the activity of the
Periadriatic Fault System (PFS), an orogen‐parallel, crustal‐scale transpressive mylonitic …

A compilation of the Marine Isotope Substage (MIS) 5.5 high stand (∼ 125Ka) sites
spanning the coastline of Italy allows a picture of the vertical displacement pattern affecting …

To understand the evolution of the Alpine orogen, knowledge of the actual structure of the
lithosphere‐asthenosphere system is important. We perform high‐resolution teleseismic …

It is commonly believed that the Po Plain is an area of low seismic haz-ard. This conclusion
is essentially a combination of two factors:(1) the historical record of earthquakes, which …

Recently, two international deep seismic campaigns in the western and central Alps (Etude
Continentale et Océanique par Reflexion et Refraction Sismique‐Progetto Strategico Crosta …

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 …

In this paper we present P wave tomographic images of the mantle beneath Italy obtained by
inverting∼ 6000 teleseismic P and PKP wave arrival times, accurately repicked, recorded in …

An outline of the geology of the Italian Northern Apennines, to accompany a geological map
at 1: 250,000 scale covering the Emilia-Romagna, Marche, Tuscany and Umbria regions, is …

A gradient in quartz microfabrics across a major strike-slip shear zone (with a minor vertical
component), active during the Oligocene in the Eastern Alps (Alto Adige, Italy), is correlated …

Since the first discovery of ultrahigh pressure (UHP) rocks 30 years ago in the Western Alps,
the mechanisms for exhumation of (U) HP terranes worldwide are still debated. In the …
