The Karst Dinarides are Composed of Relics of a Single Mesozoic Platform: Facts and Consequences

Geologia 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 ...

Arc Heat Flow and Magmatic Heat Budgets

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract We evaluate hydrothermal heat loss from 11 volcanic‐arc segments (∼6,000 km of arc length, ∼10% of the global total), motivated by the observation that much magmatic heat ultimately crosses the land surface as heated aqueous fluid. Heat loss takes place by volcanic eruption, geothermal heat conduction to the surface, fumarolic (vapor ...

Influence of Inherited Rifted Margin Architecture on Continental Collision Dynamics

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Continental collision is a key process in lithospheric evolution, driving mountain building, crustal thickening, and supercontinent assembly. Within the Wilson cycle, collision marks the final stage following rifting, ocean spreading, and subduction.

Post-20 Ma Motion of the Adriatic Plate: New Constraints From Surrounding Orogens and Implications for Crust-Mantle Decoupling [PDF]

, 2017
A new kinematic reconstruction that incorporates estimates of post-20 Ma shortening and extension in the Apennines, Alps, Dinarides, and Sicily Channel Rift Zone (SCRZ) reveals that the Adriatic microplate (Adria) rotated counterclockwise as it subducted

The influence of the geological setting on the morphogenetic evolution of the Tremiti Archipelago (Apulia, Southeastern Italy) [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2005
The Tremiti Archipelago (Southern Adriatic Sea), also called Insulae Diomedae from the name of the Greek hero who first landed there, is an area of high landscape and historical value.

Anomalously Low 3He/4He and Elevated Heat Flow in the Northern Apennines Explained by Lithospheric Delamination: A Modeling Approach

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The 3He/4He ratios measured in 12 CO2‐dominated gas seeps from the Tuscany‐Roman Volcanic Provinces in Italy range between 0.07 and ∼1.6 Ra. Helium and δ13CO2 isotope systematics indicate a dominant crustal source with a variable but significantly lower contribution from the mantle.

A crustal‐scale view at rift localization along the fossil Adriatic margin of the Alpine Tethys preserved in NW Italy. [PDF]

, 2015
International audienceFossil rifted margins, whereby originally extended continental crust is subsequently stacked in orogenic belts, provide the opportunity to track rift-related tectonics across different crustal levels.

Structural curiosity of the northern Istria

Geologija, 2005
In northern Istria certain structural particularities exist that till now were not explained,and some of them not even known. They are all associated with underthrusting of the Adriatic microplate (Istra) under the Dinarides.

Type of Carbonate Production, Sedimentary and Tectonic Evolution of the Pliocene Mixed Carbonate Siliciclastic Unit (Macco) in the Tarquinia Basin, Central Italy

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Piacenzian mixed carbonate‐siliciclastic succession (‘Macco’ unit) deposited on the passive margin of the Tyrrhenian back‐arc basin. Sedimentation was controlled by syn‐sedimentary tectonics, with NW–SE first‐order faults (3–4 km) creating accommodation space and NE–SW second‐order faults (~0.5 km) influencing facies distribution and growth structures.
