Neotectonic rotations in the Calabrian Arc; implications for a Pliocene-Recent geodynamic scenario for the Central Mediterranean
JP Van Dijk, PJJ Scheepers - Earth-Science Reviews, 1995 - Elsevier
Recently, new data have been presented which imply that major block rotations took place
in the Central Mediterranean during the Pleistocene, between 1.0 and 0.7 Ma. Kinematic …

Evidence of large scale deformation patterns from GPS data in the Italian subduction boundary
We present the velocity field in Italy derived from over 300 continuous GPS stations operated
in the 1998–2009 time span. The GPS network maps the whole country with a mean inter …
