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.

Messinian or Pleistocene valley incision within the Southern Alps
Swiss Journal of Geosciences, 2020 Many of the valleys on the southern slope of the Alps are over-deepened, having bedrock valley floors well below sea level. This has typically been attributed to incision that occurred during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) when sea level dropped by ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Do High Temperatures Affect Firm Demography? Evidence From Italy
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study analyses the impact of high temperatures and heat stress on Italian firm demography during 2009–2022. Combining provincial‐firm‐level data with a high‐resolution multidecadal meteorological dataset, we investigate whether high temperatures—absolute and anomalous—affect firm entry and exit rates.

The cross-sectional characteristics of glacial valleys and their spatial variability [PDF]
, 2014 Glacial valleys are fundamental large-scale geomorphological landscape features that dissect mountain ranges. Their cross-sectional shape is recognised as distinct from fluvial valleys.

Parasitoid insects unveil complex patterns of functional change across elevational bands
Ecography, EarlyView.Climate change is rapidly reshaping how insects interact with their environment, potentially disrupting ecosystem complexity and essential functioning. While functional homogenisation has been extensively investigated for charismatic insect taxa, particularly pollinators, the response of parasitoids remains largely overlooked.

Global patterns of treeline predictability and the gap between the forest and the treeline
Ecography, EarlyView.The alpine treeline is the highest elevation at which trees can grow, which is assumed to be controlled by temperature and globally predictable. However, many upper forest limits (UFLs) do not reach this elevation, due natural factors and human disturbance.

Tectonic Structures Along the Periadriatic Lineament in Slovenia
Geologia Croatica, 2010 The Periadriatic lineament extends from the Sesia zone in Italyacross southern Austria into Slovenia, in the area of the Karavankemountains. It continues eastwards into the Pannonian basin in Hungaryas the Balaton line.

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.The study provides insights for post‐processing climate model output in complex terrain, useful for climate change impact models. We compared different bias adjustment and downscaling techniques from quantile delta mapping to simple lapse rates. We developed a new spatial downscaling method based on principal components analysis, which showed superior ...
