Abstract The European Alps are the site where classic geologic concepts such as nappe
theory, continental subduction and slab breakoff have been first proposed. However, the …

A large data set of surface wave phase velocity measurements is compiled to study the
structures of the crust and upper mantle underneath the Alpine continental collision zone …

The first discovery of ultrahigh-pressure coesite in the European Alps 30 years ago led to the
inference that a positively buoyant continental crust can be subducted to mantle depth; this …

Mediterranean tectonics since the Lower Cretaceous has been characterized by a
multiphase subduction and collision history with temporally and spatially variable, small …

Stimulated by the recent advances in computational tools for the simulation of seismic wave
propagation problems in realistic geological configurations, this paper presents a 3D …

Sand-lithofacies distributions are a vital component of reservoir characterization and the
generation of successful reservoir models. Through the integration of selected seismic …

In the engineering geology field increased attention has been posed in recent years to
potential liquefaction mitigation interventions in susceptible sand formations. In silty sands …

We present the first rupture models of the two mainshocks of the 2012 northern Italy
sequence, determined by jointly inverting seismic and geodetic data. We aim at providing …

Abstract The Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) involved the progressive isolation of the
Mediterranean Sea from the Atlantic between 5.97 and 5.33 Ma, and a sea‐level fall whose …

We derive the 3‐D crustal structure (S wave velocity) underneath Italy and the Alpine region,
expanding and exploiting the database of ambient noise Rayleigh‐wave phase‐and group …
