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 …

Soil erosion by water (WSE) has become a relevant issue at the Mediterranean level. In
particular, natural conditions and human impact have made the Calabria (southern Italy) …

The Calabrian arc and eastern Sicily are areas of the central Mediterranean where the
effects of Quaternary tectonics are well preserved. The most impressive tectonic feature in …

We investigate crustal deformation along the Eurasia‐Nubia plate boundary in Calabria and
Sicily revealed by the GPS velocity field obtained by the combination of continuous site …

Procedures for constructing a seismotectonic model of Italy, designed to be used as a basis
for hazard assessment, are described. The seismotectonic analysis has essentially been …

The Aeolian volcanoes are located between the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea back arc and the
Calabrian Arc forearc region. Structural, geochemical and seismological data indicate that …

A Middle Miocene-Middle Pleistocene regional NW-SE left-lateral strike-slip fault system
profoundly conditioned the evolution of central Calabria, during the late tectonic phases …

A combination of published and new radiometric dates on uplifted Holocene fossil beaches
from northeastern Sicily and southern Calabria (southern Italy) is compared with the altitude …

We present an improved rendition of the geodetic velocity and strain fields in Sicily and
southern Calabria obtained through the analysis of 18 years of GPS observations from …
