Quantification of Alpine Metamorphism in the Edolo Diabase, Central Southern Alps

open access: yesGeosciences, 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 ...

Turning the Orogenic Switch: Slab‐Reversal in the Eastern Alps Recorded by Low‐Temperature Thermochronology

open access: yesGeophysical 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.

Triassic magmatism in the European Southern Alps as an early phase of Pangea break-up

open access: yesGeological Magazine, 2020
Magmatic rocks from the Dolomites, Carnic and Julian Alps, Italy, have been sampled to investigate the origin and geodynamic setting of Triassic magmatism in the Southern Alps. Basaltic, gabbroic and lamprophyric samples have been characterized for their

The molecular population structure of Swertia perennis (Gentianaceae) in Central Europe

open access: yesScientific 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

3-D GPS velocity field and its implications on the present-day post-orogenic deformation of the Western Alps and Pyrenees [PDF]

open access: yesSolid 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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Large landslides in the Alpine valleys of the Giudicarie and Schio-Vicenza tectonic domains (NE Italy)

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2021
A comprehensive geomorphological and structural mapping of the largest landslides in the central-eastern Southern Alps (NE Italy) is presented. Their occurrence in this Alpine sector is discussed in relation with structural geological features (bedding ...

The Alps-Apennines Interference Zone: A Perspective from the Maritime and Western Ligurian Alps

open access: yesGeosciences, 2021
In SW Piemonte the Western Alps arc ends off in a narrow, E-W trending zone, where some geological domains of the Alps converged. Based on a critical review of available data, integrated with new field data, it is concluded that the southern termination ...
