Geologic reconnaissance of the island of Velika Palagruža (central Adriatic, Croatia)

Geologia Croatica, 2009
Velika Palagruža (Pelagosa) is the largest island of the Palagruža archipelago (central Adriatic Sea, Croatia). Despite its minute size the island bears a certain geological interest being the only exposed piece of land in the central part (Mid-Adriatic ...

Finite element modelling of the recent- present deformation patter in the Calabrian arc and surrounding regions

Annals of Geophysics, 1997
An attempt is made to quantify the implications of the hypothesis that the recent-present deformation pattem in the Calabrian arc and the adjacent African margin is mainly determined by horizontal tectonic forces in- duced by the relative convergence of ...

Geothermics of the Apenninic subduction

Annals of Geophysics, 1997
The subduction of the Adriatic microplate is analysed from a geothermal point of view. In particular four main geodynamic units are distinguished: foreland, foredeep and slab, accretionary prism, and back-arc basin.

Active Tectonics in the Kvarner Region (External Dinarides, Croatia)—An Alternative Approach Based on Focused Geological Mapping, 3D Seismological, and Shallow Seismic Imaging Data

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Active tectonics in long-lived orogenic belts usually manifests on the preexisting inherited structures. In the Kvarner region of the External Dinarides, an area with low-to-moderate seismicity related to the Adriatic microplate (Adria) northward ...

Upper Cretaceous to Paleogene Forbulge Unconformity Associated With Foreland Basin Evolution (Kras, Matarsko Podolje and Istria; SW Slovenia and NW Croatia)

Acta Carsologica, 2007
A regional unconformity separates the Cretaceous passive margin shallow-marine carbonate sequence of Adriatic Carbonate Platform from the Upper Cretaceous and/or Paleogene shallow-marine sequences of synorogenic carbonate platform in southwestern ...

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.

Central Europe tectonic hiatus 2015–2019

All Earth
Long-term extensometric monitoring across Central Europe reveals a pronounced tectonic hiatus between 2015 and 2019. Using high-resolution data from the EU TecNet network of optical – mechanical TM-71 and TM-72 extensometers installed along major fault ...

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
