Active tectonics of the Adriatic region from GPS and earthquake slip vectors [PDF]
To investigate the kinematics of the Adriatic region we integrate continuous and episodic GPS measurements and ${M_w} > 4.5$ earthquake slip vectors selected from the Regional Centroid Moment Tensor (RCMT) catalogue.

An Amphibious Seismic Study of the Crustal Structure of the Adriatic Microplate
The present-day structure of the southern Adriatic area is controlled by two oppositely-vergent fold-and-thrust belt systems (Apennines and Dinarides).

Seismotectonic identity of the southern Adriatic area
The Adriatic microplate is considered in literature as a block relatively undeformed and aseismic with unitary dynamical behaviour. Nevertheless suchmodel is inadequate to justify the recent seismicity of the Adriatic basin.

Amphi-Adriatic salt-sprayed rocky cliffs vegetation
Rocky coasts directly exposed to the action of waves, wind and salt-spray, support a highly specialized flora. In the northwestern Mediterranean, the halophilous plant communities next to the coastline, were classified in the alliance Crithmo-Staticion ...

Investigating the submerged prehistory of the eastern Adriatic:progress and prospects [PDF]
In this paper we assess the potential for the survival and investigation of submerged prehistoric sites and cultural landscapes in the eastern Adriatic. We review previous underwater prehistoric finds from the region and evaluate their significance. Most

Climatology of the Central-Northern Adriatic Sea
It is well know that the ocean processes exert a great influence on global climate as well as affect the local climate of coastal areas (Russo et al., 2002). Within the Mediterranean region (see Fig. 1a), the presence of the Adriatic Sea influences the

Why plate and microplate tectonics?
Plate tectonics is the mechanism determining the motion of the lithosphere fragments (plates) with respect to each other and their movement relative to the underlying mantle.
