Analysis of systematic fracturing in Eocene flsch of the Slovenian coastal region

Geologija, 2017
We analyse systematic fractures occurring in sandstone beds in Eocene flsch of the Slovenian coastal area. Two nearly perpendicular fracture sets were identifid: fractures F1 are generally NW-SE oriented, wellexpressed and predominately planar, whereas ...

Mantle Dynamics in the Mediterranean and Plate Motion of the Adriatic Microplate: Insights From 3D Thermomechanical Modeling

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The motion of the Adriatic microplate is thought to be highly sensitive to the surrounding subduction zones and the convergence of Africa and Eurasia. However, our understanding of the mantle dynamics in the Mediterranean region and its effect on plate ...

Present‐Day Kinematics of Continental Greece and Balkans Revealed by Sentinel‐1 InSAR Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Balkan Peninsula hosts the highest seismic activity in Europe, marked by numerous Mw6+ earthquakes in diverse tectonic settings. Assessing tectonic surface deformation is crucial to understand the forces controlling kinematics and, ultimately, constraining geodynamic models. However, because measuring slow velocity rates (a few mm/yr) with

Tectono‐Stratigraphic Evolution of a Shared Foreland Basin: A 3D Geomodel and Detrital Flux Reconstruction for the Pliocene‐Pleistocene of the Po‐Plain Basin (Northern Italy)

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
The Plio‐Pleistocene succession of the Po Plain Basin was interpreted basin‐wide using seismic profiles and well data, identifying six major tectonic unconformities. Sediment volumes were calculated and decompacted to assess tectonic and climatic controls on basin infill, revealing a marked increase in detrital flux after 1.5 Ma, coincident with the ...

Exhumed eo‐Alpine High‐Pressure Rocks Fed Campanian Turbidites in Eastern Sardinia

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the detrital record of the early orogenic evolution of the Sardinia‐Calabria system, preserved in Upper Cretaceous arenites exposed in eastern Sardinia. Sardinia and Corsica form a continental block that includes a segment of the Alpine orogen and of its former foreland basin.

Active Tectonics of the Eastern and Southern Alps ‐ Crustal Response to Deep Processes? A Review

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Owing to the low N‐S convergence rates between Adria and Europe, crustal deformation rates in the Alps and its forelands are low. Active tectonics are, therefore, difficult to study, especially as non‐tectonic landscape forming processes can erase or modify the tectonic surface imprint. Large‐scale and dense seismological data recently offered

LitModDyn: quantifying dynamic topography induced by slab–mantle interaction beneath the Adria microplate

Frontiers in Earth Science
Dynamic topography refers to the vertical motion of Earth’s surface driven by mantle flow. Its transient, low-amplitude, and long-wavelength nature makes it difficult to constrain from field evidence or to estimate through modelling, due to uncertainties

Probabilistic Assessment of Variable Slip Rates of Offshore Buried Thrusts in the Central Adriatic Sea (Italy) Since the Pliocene Time

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Understanding the recent tectonic activity of buried faults represents a challenge for scientists. In the offshore portion of the Northern and Central Apennines foredeep basin in the Central Adriatic Sea, Italy, high sedimentation rates, exceeding tectonic uplift since the Pliocene, and the offshore location are hampering the detection of ...

Structural Evolution of the Gaggiano High: A Preserved Rift‐Related Structural High in the Western Po Plain (Italy)

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Gaggiano High, buried beneath the sediments of the Western Po Plain (northern Italy), represents one of the few examples of Mesozoic structural highs largely preserved within a foreland–foredeep system. Unlike the adjacent Lacchiarella Basin, which underwent strong positive inversion during the Neogene, the Gaggiano High experienced only ...

Geophysical-petrological model for bidirectional mantle delamination of the Adria microplate beneath the Apennines and Dinarides orogenic systems

, 2023
In this study we present a geophysical-geochemical integrated model of the thermochemical structure of the lithosphere and uppermost mantle of the Adria and Tisza microplates along two transects running from the Northern Apennines to the Pannonian Basin, and from the Southern Apennines to the Balkanides, respectively.
