The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

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 …

This paper aims to provide a concise description of the geology of the Southern Apennines
especially useful for readers having scarce familiarity with this complex region. The text is …

The geometry, kinematics and rates of active extension in Lazio–Abruzzo, Italian Apennines,
have been measured in order to gain a better understanding of the spatial and temporal …

The Meso-Cenozoic stratigraphical successions that crop out in central Italy are part of the
sedimentary wedge developed on the southern Neotethyan passive margin. On the previous …

Fold-thrust belts are commonly interpreted as ldquo thin-skinned rdquo structures,
developed above a detachment, with the underlying basement remaining undeformed …

This work illustrates the contribution of persistent scatterer interferometry (PSI) from radar
satellites ERS (European Remote Sensing satellite) and ENVISAT (Environmental Satellite) …

This study aims at the reconstruction of magnitude and timing of surface uplift affecting a
wide sector of the Central Apennines (Italy) by means of morphometric and morphostructural …

In the Apennine fold and thrust belt of Italy,«thin-skinned»(ie detachment-dominated) and
«thick-skinned»(ie crustal ramp-dominated) structures coexist, but with marked differences …

Two Mw 5.7 earthquakes struck a sparsely populated region of southern Italy, on October 31
and November 1, triggering a swarm-like sequence that lasted for several days. The …
