Alps and Apennines developed along opposite subductions, which inverted the tethyan
passive continental margins located along the boundaries of Europe, Africa and the Adriatic …

Two extensional events have been recognized in the Tertiary evolution of Tuscany. The first
event occurred in the period between the Late Oligocene and Late Tortonian and caused a …

The Variscan orogeny occurred as a result of the Late Devonian to Late Carboniferous
collision and accretion of Gondwana-derived microcontinents and continental masses with …

An outline of the geology of the Italian Northern Apennines, to accompany a geological map
at 1: 250,000 scale covering the Emilia-Romagna, Marche, Tuscany and Umbria regions, is …

This paper summarises the geological features of the Larderello-Travale and Monte Amiata
areas, where the world's most ancient exploited geothermal fields are located. In both …

Extensive, mainly acidic peraluminous magmatism affected the Tuscan Archipelago and the
Tuscan mainland since late Miocene, building up the Tuscan Magmatic Province (TMP) as …

In geothermal areas the evaluation of the active stress field from local earthquakes is
generally contradictory, mainly suggesting normal to strike-slip tectonic regime. This feature …

We have examined the data of 600 geothermal wells and re‐interpreted approximately 500
km seismic profiles through the field of Larderello, Italy. We conclude that the two main …

Carbon dioxide is one of the most important gasses naturally released from geothermal
systems. Establishing the processes and pathways that regulate the CO 2 diffuse degassing …

Reflection seismic profiles crossing the Larderello geothermal field permit the distinction of
three different seismic facies units in the upper continental crust. The upper 3–4 km of the …
