Italy has one of the most complete and historically extensive seismic catalogues in the World
due to a unique and uninterrupted flow of written sources that have narrated its seismic …

The role of tectonics in the Neogene-Quaternary evolution of the forearc basin, between the
Serre and Aspromonte Massifs, located in the southern Calabria, is widely documented in …

Soil erosion by water (WSE) has become a relevant issue at the Mediterranean level. In
particular, natural conditions and human impact have made the Calabria (southern Italy) …

We examine the tectonic geomorphology of La Sila, Calabria, southern Italy, a high-standing
(1500 m) plateau surrounded by crustal extension, with map, DEM, and field data. These …

The Calabrian arc and eastern Sicily are areas of the central Mediterranean where the
effects of Quaternary tectonics are well preserved. The most impressive tectonic feature in …

Normal faulting which has developed since the Middle Pleistocene, with an overall ESE-
WNW extension, is the dominant mode of deformation which has characterized the …

A Middle Miocene-Middle Pleistocene regional NW-SE left-lateral strike-slip fault system
profoundly conditioned the evolution of central Calabria, during the late tectonic phases …

Abstract In the Central Mediterranean area it is possible to recognize three main realms: the
Tyrrhenian Sea, the Pelagian block and the Ionian block. These domains are limited by …

At least twelve orders of marine terraces (named Terrace I to XII in this paper) are identified
along the Tyrrhenian coast, from the Capo Vaticano Promontory to the Messina Strait, in …

QUIN database integrates and organizes structural-geological information from published
and unpublished sources to constrain deformation in seismotectonic studies. The initial …
