Palinspastic map reconstructions and plate motion studies reveal that switches in
subduction polarity and the opening of slab gaps beneath the Alps and Dinarides were …

Mesozoic to Cenozoic evolution of the central part of the Adriatic plate (External Dinarides
and Adriatic foreland) is still a matter of debate. This is expressed by opposing …

A correlation of tectonic units of the Alpine-Carpathian-Dinaridic system of orogens,
including the substrate of the Pannonian and Transylvanian basins, is presented in the form …

New geomorphological and structural data permitted to define the active faulting framework
of the eastern Southern Alps (NE Italy). All the active faults detected in the investigated area …

Thrust structure of the northeastern part of the External Dinarides is depended upon
paleogeography of the Adriatic–Dinaric Mesozoic Carbonate Platform, which was in the …

The Cenozoic geological evolution of the Italian area is characterized by the formation of two
major mountain chains-the Alps to the north and the Apennines throughout the peninsula …

The foreland regional monocline related to the northern Apennines subduction can be
followed from the Po Basin to the Friuli region, Italy, at least 240 km north‐eastward. In …

Polyphase deformation of continental crust is analysed through physical analogue models
for settings wherein platform–basin geometries at passive continental margins are subject to …

The Paleogene carbonate “megabreccia” units of the Friuli Basin are composite deposits
produced by catastrophic shallow-water carbonate platform collapses re-deposited in …

Discussions of the complex evolution in time and space of the Alps, Dinarides and
Carpathians rely on the availability of a tectonic map of this entire system. We produced a …
