Recent Tectonic Activity in the Imotsko Polje Area
Displacements of the Adriatic microplate, particularly of itssouthern part, are of crucial importance for the understanding ofrecent tectonic movements.

Abstract Seismic source parameters, such as seismic moment, stress drop, and radiated energy, are key to understanding earthquake dynamics and rupture processes. In this study, we apply a non‐parametric Generalized Inversion Technique (GIT) to characterize the source properties of 735 earthquakes (local magnitudes 1.65 ≤ ML ≤ 4.55) recorded between ...

The space-time distribution of deformation in the central Mediterranean area suggests that the Adriatic domain (Adria) has moved coherently with Africa up until the late Miocene and that, subsequently, it decoupled from Africa (Nubia) and underwent a ...

The article describes the recent conditions at the Paleogene thrust contact between the External Dinaric Thrust Belt composed of carbonate rocks and the External Dinaric Imbricate Belt composed of flysch rocks, geographically, between the Trnovski gozd ...

The Karst Dinarides are Composed of Relics of a Single Mesozoic Platform: Facts and Consequences
Croatian geological literature during the mid nineteen-eighties andnineties was marked by the appearance of a new geotectonic conceptof the Dinarides proposing that the recent, very complex structuralsetting is a direct consequence of a specific ...

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 ...

One microplate - three orogens: Alps, Dinarides, Apennines and the role of the Adriatic plate [PDF]
The motion of the Adriatic microplate with respect to the Eurasian and African plates is responsible for the Mesozoic to present tectonic evolution of the Alps, Carpathians, the Dinarides and Hellenides as well as the Apennines.

The bases for understanding of the NW Dinarides and Istria Peninsula tectonics
Thrust structure of the northeastern part of the External Dinarides is depended upon paleogeography of the Adriatic–Dinaric Mesozoic Carbonate Platform, which was in the southeast (in the recent position) composed of Dinaric and Adriatic segment with ...

ABSTRACT Understanding the pressure of emplacement of granitic intrusions is crucial to understanding the exhumation history of plutons and constraining the tectonic setting of magma emplacement. However, P–T and geochronological constraints from exhumed plutons are often characterized by large uncertainties, especially in shallow crustal settings with

Contribution to the study of the Apulian microplate geodynamics
The fragmentation of the collisional border between the African and European plates has also originated the Apulian (Adriatic) microplate. Recent studies show the possibility of a non-unitary geodynamic evolution of this microplate: palaeomagnetic ...
