The structure of the Monte Amiata volcano-geothermal area (Northern Apennines, Italy): Neogene-Quaternary compression versus extension
A Brogi - International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2008 - Springer
The tectonic evolution of the Mt Amiata volcano-geothermal area is under discussion. Some
authors state that this region, as well as the hinterland of the Northern Apennines, were …

Pliocene-Quaternary fault kinematics in the Larderello geothermal area (Italy): Insights for the interpretation of the present stress field
In geothermal areas the evaluation of the active stress field from local earthquakes is
generally contradictory, mainly suggesting normal to strike-slip tectonic regime. This feature …

Geological structure of a long‐living geothermal system, Larderello, Italy
G Bertini, M Casini, G Gianelli, E Pandeli - Terra Nova, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
We have examined the data of 600 geothermal wells and re‐interpreted approximately 500
km seismic profiles through the field of Larderello, Italy. We conclude that the two main …

Origin of continuous hydrogen flux in gas manifestations at the Larderello geothermal field, Central Italy
The back arc extensional area of Tuscany is characterized by anomalously high heat flow as
a result of lithospheric thinning facilitated by locally intruded granite, which ultimately led to …
