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

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 ...

First Assessment of Genetic Diversity, Phylogeographic Relationships, and Population Structure of the Brown Seaweed <i>Ericaria amentacea</i> From Italian Coasts Using Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit I (COI) Gene. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
First assessment of genetic diversity, phylogeographic relationships, and population structure of the brown seaweed Ericaria amentacea from Italian. ABSTRACT Ericaria amentacea is an endemic key seaweed species in the coastal ecosystem of the Mediterranean basin. Given its ecological role and sensitivity to environmental conditions decline, it has been

One-dimensional velocity structure modeling of the Earth's crust in the northwestern Dinarides [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2022
The studied area of the northwestern (NW) Dinarides is located in the northeastern (NE) corner of the Adriatic microplate and is bordered by the Adriatic foreland, the Southern Alps, and the Pannonian basin. Its complex crustal structure is the result of

Lithosphere Structure of the Southern Dinarides and Continuity of the Adriatic Lithosphere Slab Beneath the Northern Dinarides Unravelled by Seismic Modelling

Geosciences, 2022
Currently recognised lithospheric models hypothesise the non-existence of a lithospheric slab (a so-called slab gap) in the area of the Northern Dinarides, and the possible existence of a shallow slab in the Southern Dinarides.

Generation of the Quaternary Normal Faults in the Messina Strait (Italy)

Geosciences, 2023
It is widely recognized that since the Early–Middle Pleistocene, the Messina zone, the site of strong earthquakes, has undergone extension, but the geodynamic context which determined this deformation is still a matter of debate.

Tectonics and gravitational phenomena (Nanos, Slovenia)

Geologija, 2021
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 ...

Seismic anisotropy across Adria plate, from the Apennines to the Dinarides

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
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.

Tectonic interpretation of large scale geodetic measurements (VLBI, SLR) in the Central Mediterranean region: constraints and uncertainties

Annals of Geophysics, 1995
Some considerations are reported on the tectonic setting and microplate mosaic in the Mediterranean zones where VLBI and SLR stations are located. In particular, the possible sources of ambiguity in the determination of the Africa-Eurasia and Adriatic ...

Intermediate earthquakes of the Vrancea zone and high-speed structure of the mantle of Eastern Europe

Геофизический журнал, 2013
New data on the possible relationship of intermediate earthquakes of the Vrancea zone with the velocity structure of the mantle based on a three-dimensional P-velocity model of the mantle up to a depth of 850 km, have been given in the paper not only for
