Volcanological and petrological evolution of Marsili Seamount (southern Tyrrhenian Sea)

Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2002
Abstract A swath bathymetric survey was conducted on Marsili Volcano, the biggest seamount in the Tyrrhenian Sea. It stands 3000 m above the surrounding oceanic crust of the 3500 m-deep Marsili back-arc basin and is axially located within the basin. The seamount has an elongated shape and presents distinctive morphology, with narrow ( 2400 m) on the ...

Volcanism of the southern Tyrrhenian Sea and its geodynamic implications

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1973
The petrochemical characteristics of volcanoes of the southern Tyrrhenian Sea point to the contemporaneous existence of a calc-alkaline compressive volcanism (Eolian Islands) and basaltic distensive volcanism (the abyssal plain, eastern Sicily, Ustica, and the Strait of Sicily).

Tectono-stratigraphic modelling of the North Sicily continental margin (southern Tyrrhenian Sea)

Tectonophysics, 2004
A two-dimensional numerical modelling that simulate the kinematic and thermal response of the lithosphere to thinning was used for the quantitative reconstruction of the late Neogene to Recent times tectonic and stratigraphic evolution of the North Sicily continental margin (southern Tyrrhenian Sea).

Modelling seismic wavefield across the southern Tyrrhenian Sea

Il Nuovo Cimento C, 2022
The Italian peninsula and the Tyrrhenian Sea are the ideal regions to explore the potential of wavefield modelling in a mixed continental-oceanic crust through finite-difference based simulations. In these structural settings, we show that such modelling can discriminate reverberating crustal waves created between layers from the average stochastic ...

Shallow hydrothermal vents in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea

Chemistry and Ecology, 2010
Shallow hydrothermal systems represent particularly suitable fields for studying the interactions between fluids and microorganisms inhabiting extreme environments. Coastal zones of the southern Tyrrhenian Sea are home to shallow hydrothermal systems, related to both active and extinct volcanism, located in the Flegrean area, at Cape Palinuro and ...

Evolution of Eolian arc volcanism (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea)

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1974
Abstract The Eolian arc is located at the boundary between the converging African and European plates. Its volcanism is characterized by a marked evolution in a restricted time (less than 1 my). A progressive transition is observed from typical calc-alkaline series toward shoshonitic rocks produced by past and present activity (Vulcano and Stromboli).

FeMn crusts from the southern Tyrrhenian Sea

Chemical Geology, 1980
Abstract Dark crusts and concretions on volcanic and calcareous rocks dredged from seamounts west of the Aeolian Islands, southern Tyrrhenian Sea, consists mainly of amorphous FeMn hydroxides, with some goethite, todorokite, birnessite and clastic minerals.

Seismo-stratigraphic characters of paleocontourites along the Calabro-Tyrrhenian margin (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea)

Marine Geology, 2008
Abstract Buried contourites located offshore Capo Suvero (Calabria, Southern Italy) have been investigated using analysis of Sparker profiles. The deposits onlap an erosional surface produced by a slide in the upper slope Pleistocene units. The overall seismic characters of the deposits suggest an interpretation as infilling drift deposits formed by ...

Coexisting tectonic settings: the example of the southern Tyrrhenian Sea

International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2011
We performed geodetic strain rate analyses in southern Italy, using new GPS velocities. Two-dimensional strain and rotation rate fields were estimated and results show that most of the shortening is distributed in the northern Sicily offshore. Extension becomes more evident and comparable with shortening on the eastern side of the same margin, and ...

Living coccolithophores community from Southern Tyrrhenian Sea (Central Mediterranean — Summer 2009)

Marine Micropaleontology, 2017
We present data on distribution patterns of living coccolithophores at 18 selected hydrographic stations, and oceanographic measurements collected at 68 stations during the TIR09 cruise carried out on board of R/V Urania in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea (central part of the Mediterranean Sea) during summer 2009.
