Stress Drop and Seismic Efficiency Distributions Over the Adriatic Indenter (European Southeastern Alps)

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
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 ...

Post-Late Miocene kinematics of the Adria microplate: inferences from geological, geophysical and geodetic data

open access: yes, 2006
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 ...

Tectonics and gravitational phenomena, part two: The Trnovski gozd-Banjšice-Šentviška Gora degraded plain

open access: yesGeologija
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

open access: yesGeologia Croatica, 2002
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 ...

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

open access: yesTectonics, 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 ...

One microplate - three orogens: Alps, Dinarides, Apennines and the role of the Adriatic plate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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

open access: yesGeologija, 2010
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 ...

P–T Modelling Constrains the Depth of Emplacement of the Porto Azzurro Pluton and Implies Minor Exhumation Caused by the Zuccale Fault (Island of Elba, Italy)

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 6, Page 440-469, July 2026.
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

open access: yes, 1990
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 ...
