A new caenogastropod from the upper Rhaetian of Lombardy: Palaeobiogeographical history and implications for the Early Jurassic gastropod recovery [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2021 A new gastropod genus and its type species, namely Ederazyga fanchini gen. et sp. nov., are described from the upper Rhaetian deposits of Lombardy (northern Italy) and tentatively placed into the family Zygopleuridae. The first appearance of Ederazyga is

Quantification of Alpine Metamorphism in the Edolo Diabase, Central Southern Alps
Geosciences, 2022 The Southern Alps are the retro-vergent belt of the European Alps that developed from Late Cretaceous subduction to Neogene times. The most prominent Alpine thrusts and folds, nowadays sealed off by the Adamello intrusion, were already developed before ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Many convergent orogens, such as the eastern European Alps, display an asymmetric doubly vergent wedge geometry. In doubly vergent orogens, deepest exhumation occurs above the retro‐wedge.

The molecular population structure of Swertia perennis (Gentianaceae) in Central Europe
Scientific Reports, 2023 Phylogeographic analysis of Swertia perennis, a typical European subalpine springtime species, revealed the existence of at least five major phylogenetic lineages. A large phylogeographic separation exists among these geographical regions, which confirms

Network assesses earthquake potential in Italy's southern Alps [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2003 On 6 May 1976, a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck the Friuli region of northeastern Italy near the towns of Gemona and Venzone. Although it was not as large as some previous earthquakes in Italy, its severe ground motion (up to 0.36 g) affected an area with numerous historical towns, resulting in 989 fatalities and 45,000 people left homeless.

3-D GPS velocity field and its implications on the present-day post-orogenic deformation of the Western Alps and Pyrenees [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2016 We present a new 3-D GPS velocity solution for 182 sites for the region encompassing the Western Alps, Pyrenees, and southern France. The velocity field is based on a Precise Point Positioning (PPP) solution, to which we apply a common-mode filter ...

Glacial geomorphology of the Ahuriri River valley, central Southern Alps, New Zealand
Journal of Maps, 2021 Detailed geomorphological mapping of ice-related and post-glacial landforms is widely used to explain past glacial fluctuations and dynamics. Here we present the first detailed glacial geomorphological description of the landform assemblages produced by ...
