 Adria Microplate Structure and its Geodynamic History Since Early Mesozoic 

Despite decades of extensive research, the precise lithospheric architecture and evolutionary trajectory of the Adria microplate, sandwiched between the converging Eurasian and African plates, remain subjects of intense geological debate. Although numerous paleotectonic models have been proposed over the last 100 years, the crustal evolution and ...

The lithosphere and upper mantle of Adria microplate from integrated geophysical-geochemical and geodynamic modeling

The Central Mediterranean region is characterized by a wide diversity of geodynamic processes in the context of the long-term plate convergence between Africa and Eurasia during the entire Alpine Cycle. The Adria microplate, deformed amid the two major converging plates of Africa and Eurasia, results in a key piece for the reconstruction of this ...

Tectonic Implications of new paleomagnetic results from Late Cretaceous rocks of the stable part of the Adria microplate

2006
Adria is the largest lithospheric fragment in the Central Mediterranean region that has played a key role in the development of the surrounding mountain chains (Dinarides, Suuthern Alps, Apennines). Earlier available paleomagnetic data were suitable to characterize the displacment of Adria in a very general way and were not sufficient to supply ...

Adria microplate motion and active deformation of the Dinarides - inferences from Global Positioning System (GPS) data

2010
We analyze a joint regional network of ~100 GPS sites spanning across the eastern margin of the Adriatic from Italy to southern Croatia, and covering the geodynamic units of the Southern Alps, the Adriatic microplate proper (Istria), the Dinarides, the Eastern Alps and the Pannonian Basin.

Variations of Whole–Adria Microplate Motion During the Interseismic Phase Preceding the MW 6.3, 6 April 2009 L’Aquila (Italy) Earthquake

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth
AbstractTectonic plate motions feed the earthquake cycle—a process whereby stress along crustal faults slowly increases over decade– or century–long periods, to then suddenly drop during earthquakes. Steadiness of plate motions during such cycles has long been a central tenet in models of earthquake genesis and of faults seismic potential, and can be ...
