The present geomorphology of the Mediterranean's coasts is largely a product of an intricate
long-term relationship between Nature and human societies. A cradle of ancient …

Active volcanoes are revealed to be dynamically evolving structures, the growth and
development of which are characteristically punctuated by episodes of instability and …

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 …

Published and new data exist for relative sea-level change for 105 locations (127 samples)
during the late Holocene, along the Italian (and Istrian) coasts. These data, compared with …

We present geological and morphological data, combined with an analysis of seismic
reflection lines across the Ionian offshore zone and information on historical earthquakes, in …

A combination of published and new radiometric dates on uplifted Holocene fossil beaches
from northeastern Sicily and southern Calabria (southern Italy) is compared with the altitude …

Recent studies demonstrate that Tenerife has undergone large lateral collapses. This has
led to the suggestion that the Las Cañadas caldera, one of the best exposed calderas in the …

As volcanoes grow, they become ever heavier. Unlike mountains exhumed by erosion of
rocks that generally were lithified at depth, volcanoes typically are built of poorly …

Analogue sand cone experiments were conducted to study instability generated on volcanic
cones by basal strike-slip movement. The results of the analogue models demonstrate that …

We present an updated geological evolution of Mount Etna volcano based on new 40 Ar/39
Ar age determinations and stratigraphic data integrating the previous K/Ar ages. Volcanism …
