Right-Angle Pattern of Minor Fluvial Networks from the Ionian Terraced Belt, Southern Italy: Passive Structural Control or Foreland Bending?

Geosciences, 2018
Morphometric analyses of both the topography and drainage network have been carried out in a large sector of the Ionian coastal belt of southern Italy in order to unravel the possible control of Late Quaternary thrust front activity on the evolution of ...

Multidisciplinary approach to revisit the state of activity of a deep‐seated gravitational slope deformation in the frame of the Quaternary geomorphological evolution of the Central Apennines (Italy)

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Evaluating the state of activity of Deep‐Seated Gravitational Slope Deformation (DSGSD) is a challenge that requires multidisciplinary analytical approaches. This research focuses on the slope‐scale gravitational process, framing the role of the Quaternary morphodynamics of a river valley where multiple DSGSDs coexist, to reconstruct the ...

Tectonics and Surface Processes During Collisional Orogenesis—Exploring the Parameter Space of the Beaumont Number

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The collision of continents typically leads to orogenesis as a result of crustal thickening and isostatic compensation. High topography is a main locus of precipitation‐fueled erosion, providing a feedback‐loop between tectonics, surface processes, and climate.

Ongoing Deformation at the Southern Apennine Front: Insights from the Gulf of Taranto (Italy)

Geosciences
The Gulf of Taranto (Ionian Sea) is a key transitional sector between the Southern Apennines collisional belt and the Calabrian Arc system, where the expression of Pleistocene–Holocene deformation in the shallow stratigraphic record remains debated. This

Inference of a seismic gap from geological data: Thessaly ( Central Greece) as a case study

Annals of Geophysics, 1995
As a result of neotectonic, morphotectonic and seismotectonic research it is now possible to draw detailed maps of the major active faults affecting Thessaly, a large region of continental Greece.

Neotectonic-related landforms in the Campos do Jordão Plateau, Southeast Brazil

Derbyana, 2022
The Campos do Jordão Plateau, situated in the Serra da Mantiqueira – western flank of the Continental Rift of Southeastern Brazil, presents several morphological features that are indicative of neotectonic activity.

A morphotectonic approach to the study of earthquakes in Rome

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022
Abstract. Rome has the world's longest historical record of felt earthquakes, with more than 100 events during the last 2600 years. However, no destructive earthquake has been reported in the sources, and all of the greatest damage suffered in the past has been attributed to far-field events.

Structural Controls on Splay Fault Rupture Dynamics During Cascadia Megathrust Earthquakes

AGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Great subduction earthquakes (Mw ≥ 8.0) can generate devastating tsunamis by rapidly displacing the seafloor and overlying water column. These potentially tsunamigenic seafloor offsets result from coseismic fault slip and deformation beneath or within the accretionary wedge. The mechanics of these shallow rupture phenomena and their dependence

Reef-rim structure and building history, Rangiroa, an uplifted Atoll, French Polynesia: The role of morphotectonics and extreme marine hazard events

, 2022
International audienceReconstructing the responses of low-lying, atoll-rim islands to future environmental changes due to global warming requires a robust knowledge of the building history of reef rims through time.
