More than 100 years after the devasting Messina-Reggio Calabria earthquake (M= 7.1), the
largest seismic event ever recorded in southern Europe in the instrumental epoch, its …

We summarise and discuss almost a century of progress inthe understanding of the main
characteristics of large Italian earthquakes. Topics of discussion include (1) the distribution …

We examine the tectonic geomorphology of La Sila, Calabria, southern Italy, a high-standing
(1500 m) plateau surrounded by crustal extension, with map, DEM, and field data. These …

Since the Second World War interest in the active by Italian geophysicists; studies of ground
deform volcano Mount Etna, in Sicily, has been steadily ation by British and Italian groups; …

A new fault-plane solution map of the Italian peninsula is presented in this paper. The
earthquakes analyzed are included in the period 1905–1980, with magnitudes ranging 4–7 …

The available geological, geophysical and seismological data of the Tyrrhenian-Apennines
system are briefly reviewed and synthesized in a number of sketch maps. Integrating and …

Abstract In the Central Mediterranean area it is possible to recognize three main realms: the
Tyrrhenian Sea, the Pelagian block and the Ionian block. These domains are limited by …

Deciphering provenance-this is the study of how far geology, geomorphology and climate of
a source, a mountainous area, may be reconstructable from its erosional products released …

Teleseismic waveforms, local ground acceleration, elevation changes, surface faulting and
aftershocks are used to investigate the three-dimensional geometry of fault movement in the …

Structural interpretation of available geological and geophysical data carried out along a
regional transect extending across the southern Calabrian arc from the Tyrrhenian margins …
