Reconstruction of the polyphase tectono‐stratigraphic evolution of the Neogene‐Quaternary Valdera‐Volterra Basin, one of the largest hinterland basin of the Northern Apennines, through the study of 2D seismic sections integrated with published and unpublished geophysical and stratigraphic data from deep boreholes and surface palaeontological samples ...

Abstract The Eastern Southern Alps fold‐and‐thrust belt (ESA) is part of the seismically active S‐verging retro‐wedge of the European Alps. Its temporal tectonic evolution during continental shortening has so far been constrained by few and low‐resolution indirect time constraints.

Soil contamination by heavy metals at Libiola abandoned copper mine, Italy [PDF]
Exploitation of ores has surely represented a risk for contamination of environmental matrices for a long time. This paper reports the results of a study concerning soil contamination by heavy metals at Libiola abandoned copper mine (Italy). This deposit

The Early Miocene “Bisciaro volcaniclastic event” (northern Apennines, Italy): a key study for the geodynamic evolution of the central-western Mediterranean [PDF]
The Early Miocene Bisciaro Fm., a marly limestone succession cropping out widely in the Umbria–Romagna–Marche Apennines, is characterized by a high amount of volcaniclastic content, characterizing this unit as a peculiar event of the Adria Plate margin ...

Raw materials, personal ornaments and neolithic groups: Some observations on stone bracelets of the early neolithic of nothern Italy [PDF]
One of the most characteristic personal ornament of the European Neolithic is the ring bracelet made of stone or shell. In Italy, its spreading affected several cultural groups between the Early and Middle Neolithic. It was a very common adornment object,

Trace element chemistry and U-Pb dating of zircons from oceanic gabbros and their relationship with whole rock composition (Lanzo, Italian Alps) [PDF]
The U-Pb ages and the trace element content of zircon U-Pb along with major and trace element whole rock data on gabbroic dikes from the Lanzo lherzolitic massif, N-Italy, have been determined to constrain crustal accretion in ocean-continent transition ...

Tertiary-Quaternary subduction processes and related magmatism in the Alpine-Mediterranean region [PDF]
During Tertiary to Quaternary times, convergence between Eurasia and Africa resulted in a variety of collisional orogens and different styles of subduction in the Alpine-Mediterranean region.

Study geomorphology, past and present, linear trench, tectonics relationship between Pyrenees and Alps [PDF]
The author has identified the following significant results. ERTS-1 images obviously show up some large linear features trending N 80 E or N 30 E common to both Alps and Pyrenees. One of them, the Ligurian Fault, had been previously forecast by Laubscher
