Breaking Adria: adjoint tomography of a disappearing continental microplate [PDF]
, 2022 The Adria plate plays a peculiar role in the geodynamics of the Central Mediterranean. It is the foreland of non-coeval mountain ranges and its margins are consumed in the process by subduction systems under the Alps to the north, the Apennines to the

A synchronous Alpine and Corsica-Sardinia rotation [PDF]
, 2008 We report on the paleomagnetism of 34 sites from lower Oligocene-middle Miocene sediments exposed in the Tertiary Piedmont Basin (TPB, northern Italy). The TPB is formed by a thick (∼4000 m) and virtually undeformed sedimentary succession unconformably ...

Seismicity of Croatia in 1989 and the Kamešnica Mt. earthquake [PDF]
, 1991 The seismicity of Croatia and its surrounding areas in 1989 was analysed on the basis of the earthquake catalogue consisting of 361 earthquakes. Its completeness threshold was estimated to be MLC ≥ 3.0. Seismically the most active was the coastal part of

Seismotectonic setting of the eastern margin of Adria plate [PDF]
The continental Adria microplate occupies the central Mediterranean and is covered by the Adriatic Sea, for the largest part. Since late Mesozoic time, the margins of Adria have been progressively involved in the long-lasting tectonic processes connected

GPS-derived motion of the Adriatic microplate from Istria Peninsula and Po Plain sites, and geodynamic implications [PDF]
Tectonophysics, 2010 Abstract We studied the motion of the Adriatic microplate using Eurasian-referenced GPS-derived velocities from Istria Peninsula (Slovenia, Croatia) and Po Plain (Italy) sites and earthquake slip vectors around its edges from a Regional Centroid Moment Tensor catalogue.

A critical revision of the seismicity of Northern Apulia (Adriatic microplate — Southern Italy) and implicationsfor the identification of seismogenic structures [PDF]
Tectonophysics, 2007 Abstract Northern Apulia is an emerged portion of the Adriatic microplate, representing the foreland–foredeep area of a stretch of the Apennine chain in southern Italy. The interaction between the relatively rigid microplate and the contiguous more deformable domains is responsible for the intense seismicity affecting the chain area.

Dynamics of the Adriatic Microplate and the Eastern Alps [PDF]
International Association of Geodesy Symposia, 1995 The Austrian project “Crustal Dynamics of the Adriatic Microplate and the Adjacent East-Alpine Area” is a contribution to the “International Decade of Natural Disaster Reduction” IDNDR, initiated by the United Nations Organisation. It has been designed and approved for a five years term with the aim to investigate crustal deformations by precise ...

Seismicity of the Adriatic microplate
Tectonophysics, 1993Abstract The Adriatic microplate was previously considered to be a unique block, tectonically active only along its margins. The seismic sequences that took place in the basin from 1986 to 1990 give new information about the geodynamics of this area.
