Scaled physical models of brittle–ductile thrust wedges investigated the causes leading to
the development of the various structural styles observed in fold-and-thrust belts and …

In this study, surface geological data resulting from a detailed field survey, including
structural and biostratigraphic analysis, have been integrated with subsurface (seismic lines …

Normal faults within orogenic belts can be pre-, syn-or post-orogenic features. We studied
the Gubbio normal fault (central Italy), which is an example of a pre-orogenic fault …

The evolution of deformation patterns during thrust-related folding is of importance for both
industrial and academic purposes because of the control that it exerts on the migration and …

The kinematics of intra‐arc shear zones play a key role in the secondary shaping of
orogenic arcs such as the Calabrian Arc (central Mediterranean). Comparison of the …

Foreland (early-orogenic) and hinterland (late-orogenic) extensional domains have been
widely documented in the Northern Apennines, where they are synchronous with contraction …

Syn‐orogenic deposits that occupy foredeep basins commonly experience contraction
related to the migration of fold‐and‐thrust systems toward the foreland. This contraction may …

The April 3, 1998 Mw= 5.1 Gualdo Tadino earthquake (central Italy) was the last significant
event in the 6-month-long Umbria–Marche seismic crisis. This event and its aftershocks …

Folds with axes almost parallel to the mean tectonic transport direction are frequent in fold-
thrust belts, particularly along the borders of arcuate belts. Such structures have been …

In the internal part of the Umbro‐Marchean‐Romagnan Apennines, the foredeep clastic
wedge constituting the Neogene part of the sedimentary cover is completely detached from …
