Alps to Apennines zircon roller coaster along the Adria microplate margin [PDF]
We have traced the particle path of high-pressure metasedimentary rocks on Elba Island, Northern Apennines, with the help of a U-Pb-Hf detrital zircon study. One quarter of the analysed zircons are surprisingly young, 41-30 Ma, with a main age peak at ca.

Seismic anisotropy across Adria plate, from the Apennines to the Dinarides
The Adria microplate has the particular feature to be involved in two subduction systems with slab dipping in opposite directions, one toward west beneath the Apennines and the other to the east beneath the Dinarides.

Reconsidering paleozoic differences between the Jadar block and the Drina-Ivanjica unit [PDF]
The peculiar Jadar block has an intervening position separating the main Neotethyan West Vardar Zone (including ophiolites of Late Jurassic age) and a passive margin lithospheric segment of the Apulia/Adria microplate referred to as the Drina-Ivanjica ...

The Kvarner fault divides the Microadria (Adria microplate, the Adria stable core) into the Po and Adria segments. The Istra block, which is sandwiched between the right-lateral Kvarner Fault and the left-lateral Sistiana Fault lies at the extreme ...

The role of the 'Zvornik suture' for assessing the number of Neotethyan oceans: Surface - subsurface constraints on the fossil plate margin (Vardar Zone vs. Inner Dinarides) [PDF]
The balancing exercise of the “single-ocean model” and reexa - mination of Jurassic paleogeographic conditions and tectonic interaction allowed the reconstruction of the mosaic of independent microplate margins and sutured northwestern Tethyan realm ...

The Sistiana Fault and the Sistiana Bending Zone (SW Slovenia)
The Sistiana Fault is an alleged disjunctive deformation of Microadria in the sea bottom of the Gulf of Trieste. Onshore, it is visible only in the Sistiana Bay, but towards the northeast it soon pinches-out, in structural-geometric ...

A focal mechanism catalogue of earthquakes that occurred in the southeastern Alps and surrounding areas from 1928–2019 [PDF]
We present a focal mechanism catalogue of earthquakes that occurred in the southeastern Alps and surrounding areas from 1928 to 2019. The area involved in the process of convergence between the Adria microplate and Eurasia is one of the most seismically ...

Tectonics and gravitational phenomena (Nanos, Slovenia)
The Istra Pushed Area is a specifically deformed territory of the northwestern part of the External Dinarides. It formed due to the movement of the Istra block as part of the Adriatic Microplate (Adria) towards the Dinarides since the middle Miocene ...

Deriving a New Crustal Model of Northern Adria: The Northern Adria Crust (NAC) Model
We presented a new 3D model of the geophysical properties of the crust (namely depth of the Moho and VP, VS, density, Young’s modulus, and shear modulus) of the northern tip of the Adria microplate that we called NAC (Northern Adria Crust).
