Abstract This study investigates Ionian Sea seismo-turbidite (ST) deposits that we interpret to
be triggered by major historic earthquakes and tsunamis in the Calabrian Arc. ST beds can …

Recent work has applied microtextural and heavy mineral analyses to sandy storm and
tsunami deposits from Portugal, Scotland, Indonesia and the USA. We looked at the …

For any scientist working in seismotectonics, the Calabrian Arc represents the most
challenging area of Italy. Lying on top of a subduction zone, it is characterised by a complex …

Mud volcanoes (MVs) are geological structures that episodically eject mud breccias
composed of fluids and solids from the Earth's interior. MVs are predominantly associated to …

Abstract The Mediterranean Sea hosts two subduction systems along the convergent Africa-
Eurasia plate boundary that have produced strong ground shaking and generated tsunamis …

The Żonqor coastline, southeast Malta, displays an exceptional range of geomorphic
signatures of extreme coastal events. This paper brings together evidence acquired from a …

Identification of catastrophic events recorded as resedimented deep marine deposits can be
challenging because of multiple possible triggering mechanisms. This study investigates …

The volcanic history of Mt. Etna is mainly known from studies of subaerial deposits and
stratigraphy. However, little is known about the offshore deposits, which can provide a more …

Turbiditic events are mostly avoided in paleomagnetic studies and therefore their
remanence and magnetic properties are poorly described. Turbidites are exempt of …

Abstract The Maltese Islands lie in the middle of the tsunamigenic Mediterranean domain,
around whose margins and islands evidence of historical tsunami landfall has been …
