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

, 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 ...

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

First Assessment of Genetic Diversity, Phylogeographic Relationships, and Population Structure of the Brown Seaweed Ericaria amentacea From Italian Coasts Using Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit I (COI) Gene

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
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

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 ...

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 ...

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

Journal 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 ...

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 ...

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)

Journal 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
