Seafloor observatory science: A review

P Favali, L Beranzoli - Annals of geophysic, 2006 - earth-prints.org
The ocean exerts a pervasive influence on Earth's environment. It is therefore important that
we learn how this system operates (NRC, 1998b; 1999). For example, the ocean is an …

Transverse systems along the extensional Tyrrhenian margin of central Italy and their influence on volcanism

V Acocella, R Funiciello - Tectonics, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
The Tyrrhenian margin of central Italy has undergone Plio‐Quaternary extension,
