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 …

Defining the structural style of fold–thrust belts and understanding the controlling factors are
necessary steps towards prediction of their long-term and short-term dynamics, including …

Geology-based methods for Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA) have been
developing in Italy. These methods require information on the geometric, kinematic and …

Using deep seismic reflection data from the Italian lithospheric exploration project CROP in
the Central Mediterranean region, a 400-km-long section, composed of three different …

Information from surface geology, subsurface geology (boreholes, seismic reflection, and
refraction profiles), and seismicity are used to depict the geometry and the possible …

The multideformed axial zone of the Apennines provides a great opportunity to explore the
influence of pre-existing cross-structures (inherited from pre-Quaternary tectonic phases) on …

Six moderate magnitude earthquakes (5< Mw< 6) ruptured normal fault segments of the
southern sector of the North Apennine belt (central Italy) in the 1997 Colfiorito earthquake …

Unraveling the tectonic style in the outer zones of fold-and-thrust belts is generally puzzling
because the basement–cover relationships are often hidden in the subsurface as in the …

Hydrothermal travertines develop various depositional geometries, from tabular to high-relief
mounds or aprons with steep slopes, under the control of local topography, location and …

ABSTRACT In the Umbria-Marche-Abruzzi (UMA) Apennine ridge, measurements of the
Quaternary amount of displacement, and the longterm slip-rates related to the extensional …
