[HTML][HTML] Orogenic architecture of the Mediterranean region and kinematic reconstruction of its tectonic evolution since the Triassic
The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

Mantle dynamics in the Mediterranean
The Mediterranean offers a unique opportunity to study the driving forces of tectonic
deformation within a complex mobile belt. Lithospheric dynamics are affected by slab …

The Puglia uplift (SE Italy): an anomaly in the foreland of the Apenninic subduction due to buckling of a thick continental lithosphere
C Doglioni, F Mongelli, P Pieri - Tectonics, 1994 - Wiley Online Library
The Apenninic foreland shows two distinct structural signatures comparing the central
Adriatic Sea and the Puglia region. During the Pliocene‐Pleistocene the central Adriatic …

Active tectonics of the Adriatic region from GPS and earthquake slip vectors
To investigate the kinematics of the Adriatic region, we integrate continuous and episodic
GPS measurements with Mw> 4.5 earthquake slip vectors selected from the Regional …

Mantle convection in the Middle East: Reconciling Afar upwelling, Arabia indentation and Aegean trench rollback
Abstract The Middle East region represents a key site within the Tethyan domain where
continental break-up, collision, backarc extension and escape tectonics are kinematically …

Construction of a seismotectonic model: the case of Italy
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 …

Particle size distributions in natural carbonate fault rocks: insights for non-self-similar cataclasis
Particle size distributions of cataclastic rocks influence the mechanical and fluid flow
behaviour of fault zones. Available data from natural cataclastic rocks are still controversial …
