The late Miocene evolution of the Mediterranean Basin is characterized by major changes in
connectivity, climate and tectonic activity resulting in unprecedented environmental and …

Forty years after the image of the Mediterranean transformed into a giant salty lake was first
conceived, the fascinating history of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) still arouses great …

As with many mountain belts globally, the Alps have seen a large increase in sediment yield
in the late Neogene. The hypothesis that this increase results from climate-change impacts …

During the Late Miocene–Pleistocene interval, a complex system of elongate foredeeps, the
Po Plain-Adriatic Foredeep (PPAF), developed in the eastern sector of the Po Plain and in …

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 …

Owing to its expanded stratigraphic sections, the Apennine thrust belt offers the opportunity
to better understand the evaporitic and post-evaporitic Messinian events. A physical …

At the end of the Miocene, the European Alps ceased outward expansion, and tectonic uplift
and exhumation shifted into the orogen interior. This shift is consistent with a change from …

In the last 15 years, several Eni-Agip multidisciplinary studies were focused on the buried
Messinian–Pleistocene succession of the eastern Po Plain and northern Adriatic Sea. A …

A new genetic facies model for deep‐water clastic evaporites is presented, based on work
carried out on the Messinian Gessoso‐solfifera Formation of the northern Apennines during …

Abstract New 87 Sr/86 Sr data from DSDP–ODP Messinian cores from deep Mediterranean
basins suggest that the usually envisaged correlation of offshore Upper Evaporites with …
