The 1857 Basilicata earthquake (Imax= XI° MCS; Me= 6.9) is one of the most destructive
events that occurred in peninsular Italy; shaking effects and ground breaks were recorded …

Slip along low-angle normal faults (LANFs) is theoretically inhibited by standard rock
mechanics; however, they are well-documented in several orogenic belts. Frequently …

The sedimentary record of the Val d'Agri basin is of great importance for understanding the
Quaternary tectonic activity and climatic variability in the Southern Apennines. Changes in …

Silty sands and clayey silts taken from a landslide in the Agri Valley have been analysed in
order to study the role of sediment composition in the slope stability and the development of …

Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) enables the chronology of the late Pleistocene
evolution for the Val d'Agri intermontane basin of Southern Apennines to be defined in the …

Detailed geological mapping and new stratigraphic and structural data collected in the
Lucania area of the southern Apennines allowed us to assess the deformation history of Il …

Italy is one of the European countries most affected by landslides. In order to mitigate the
risk, the analysis of such phenomena should involve a broad spectrum of studies to …

We examine the structural characteristics and the tectonic evolution of some key areas along
the thrust front of the Lucania sector of the Southern Apennines, which also represents the …

A landslide, to the west of Montemurro (a small village in southern Italy), has recently caused
damage to buildings and other infrastructure in an urbanized area; as a result the …

This paper describes a new tectonosedimentary model for the evolution of the Plio-
Quaternary Sant'Arcangelo Basin, located in the Southern Apennines of Italy. To this …
