The formation of the Tyrrhenian–Apennines system has been characterized by a complex
distribution of major tectonic events, such as opening of basins, migration and distortion of …

Soft-sediment deformation structures in middle-late Pleistocene deposits of Torre San
Gennaro (Brindisi—southern Italy) have been analysed. From a morphologic point of view …

Oligocene carbonate ramps and platforms are widespread and though they are important
carbonate reservoirs, detailed studies on the facies organization, platform type and internal …

Abstract The Bradanic Trough (southern Italy) is the Pliocene-present-day south Apennines
foredeep. It is a foreland basin as subsidence due to westward subduction of the Adria Plate …

Sinkholes are the most typical surface feature of karst landscapes. Their correct mapping is
of great importance for a proper assessment of the possible occurrence of new events, and …

Excellent outcrops of the upper Pliocene-lower Pleistocene Calcarenite di Gravina around
Matera (southern Italy) provide continuous exposure of coarse-grained, clastic basin-margin …

At the end of November 2021, a large area of Puglia (an administrative region in Southern
Italy) was officially nominated as new aUGGp (aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark) by the …

Salento Peninsula (Apulia, southern Italy) is characterised by many active sinkholes, which
represent the main geological hazard. The stretch of coastline between the village of …

Abstract The Upper Cretaceous carbonates cropping out in the Murge Plateau are good
analogues of the fractured and faulted carbonate oil reservoirs of southern Italy. For this …

The present work focuses on the comprehension of the growth mechanisms and
dimensional properties of the pre-Pliocene Monte Alpi fault network by mean of integrated …
