The Norian Dolomia Principale in the Southern Alps, northern Italy, is composed of fully dolomitised carbonate platforms, locally interrupted by intraplatform basins that are only partially or not affected by dolomitisation.

Abstract The prompt identification of faults responsible for moderate‐to‐large earthquakes is fundamental for understanding the likelihood of further, potentially damaging events. This is increasingly challenging when the activated fault is an offshore buried thrust, where neither coseismic surface ruptures nor GPS/InSAR deformation data are available ...

Abstract Deep fluid circulation likely triggered the large extensional events of the 2016–2017 Central Italy seismic sequence. Nevertheless, the connection between fault mechanisms, main crustal‐scale thrusts, and the circulation and interaction of fluids with tectonic structures controlling the sequence is still debated.

Abstract The effects of the Younger Dryas (YD) fluctuation on Late Pleistocene hunter‐gatherers' settlement and subsistence systems in the southern Alps are poorly known. This is primarily due to the scarcity of archaeological sites dating from the YD, in contrast with the extensive evidence available from the lateglacial interstadial and the early ...

The Montello Thrust and the Active Mountain Front of the Eastern Southern Alps (Northeast Italy)
Abstract New field and subsurface data are combined to define the geometry and evolution of the mountain front of the eastern Southern Alps. The Montello thrust (MT), the southernmost frontal structure, is reconstructed by recently published well‐located microseismicity and is connected at depth with the larger Bassano‐Valdobbiadene (BV) thrust.

Abstract Whereas deposits of extremely‐rapid, ‘catastrophic’ mass wastings >105 m3 in volume (for example, the Marocche di Dro rock avalanche in the Southern Alps and the Flims rockslide in the Western Alps) are easily recognized by their sheer mass and blocky surface, the identification of fossil catastrophic mass wastings partly removed by erosion ...

Abstract The Coorong Lakes, South Australia, are one of the models for unravelling the ‘Dolomite Problem’. Critically, today only a few modern environments remain where large quantities of very high magnesium calcite (VHMC; Ca0.5Mg0.5CO3; also described as protodolomite or disordered dolomite) and magnesite (MgCO3) precipitate.

On the delimitation of the carbonate burial realm
A condensed review of processes and products typifying the burial realm. Suggestions for an intuitive terminology. Delimitation of shallow and deep limits of the burial realm and its sub‐domains. Abstract Over the past decades, the burial realm, the most prolonged and arguably the least well‐understood diagenetic environment, has received significant ...

The genesis of dolostone has long been puzzling for more than two centuries. Although much work has been done on investigating the process of dolomitization, little emphasis has been put on examining the diagenetic water redox condition with the wealthy geochemical information preserved in primary dolomite, which is believed to archive the aqueous ...

The Fraele Formation crops out in the Ortles Nappe (upper Valtellina, Northern Italy), structurally part of the Central Austroalpine Domain. It consists of fine siliciclastics alternating with carbonates, mostly limestones,rare dolostones and marls.
