Abstract The Calabrian Arc is a narrow subduction–rollback system resulting from
Africa/Eurasia plate convergence. While crustal shortening is taken up in the accretionary …

Mud volcanoes are common in active mountain fronts. At Mt. Etna, located just between the
Apennine front in Sicily and its foredeep, there are some manifestations of mud volcanism in …

A detailed 3D image of the Calabro-Ionian subduction system in the central Mediterranean
was obtained by means of a seismic tomography, exploiting a large dataset of local …

New data and interpretations of the geodynamics of eastern Sicily point to deep crustal
shortening taking place in the area. Reconstructions of the lithospheric system, seismicity …

The survey and structural analysis of surface coseismic ruptures are essential tools for
characterizing seismogenic structures. In this work, a procedure to survey coseismic …

A multidisciplinary work integrating structural, geodetic and seismological data was
performed in the Catanzaro Trough (central Calabria, Italy) to define the seismotectonic …

Geophysical data provide the chance to investigate a volcano's dynamics; considerable
information can especially be gleaned on the stress and strain patterns accompanying the …

The Trecastagni Fault (TF) is an important tectonic structure in the middle-lower southern
flank of Mt. Etna volcano. It is characterised by evident morphological slopes with normal dip …

Starting off from a review of previous literature on kinematic models of the unstable eastern
flank of Mt. Etna, we propose a new model. The model is based on our analysis of a large …

Quaternary uplift is well documented in SE Sicily, a region prone to damaging seismic
events, such as the 1693 “Val di Noto” earthquake (Mw 7.4), the largest seismic event …
