Deformation along faults in the shallow crust (< 1 km) introduces permeability heterogeneity
and anisotropy, which has an important impact on processes such as regional groundwater …

Fractal-geometry techniques are widely applied to the quantification of complex rock
structures. Important properties of such structures are (i) different scaling behaviour on …

Studying faults capable of releasing moderate-to-strong earthquakes is fundamental for
seismic hazard studies, especially in a territory that was subject to the strongest peninsular …

The Apulian Platform Carbonates form the reservoir unit in several major oil fields in the Val
d'Agri area of southern Italy. Traps are formed by compressional fold structures developed in …

Based on a detailed structural study performed on a reservoir surface analogue, a fracture
permeability model for carbonate reservoirs is proposed. This involves four hierarchical …

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and unpublished sources to constrain deformation in seismotectonic studies.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

The high-angle faults bounding the High Agri Valley Basin eastwards are well-exposed at
the Viggiano Mt., southern Italy. There, these faults crosscut Mesozoic shallow-water …

A methodology to assess the effects of structural heterogeneities below seismic resolution in
porous carbonate grainstones on reservoir performance during production is developed by …

Depositional and diagenetic processes profoundly control the structural evolution of shallow-
water carbonates through time. We focus on the Lower Jurassic platform carbonates …

Uplift rates have been calculated for a large sector of the Lucanian Apennine (“axial zone” of
the southern Apennines, Italy), using both geomorphological observations (elevation values …
