Geology of the Monte Banchetta – Punta Rognosa area (Troncea valley, Western Alps)
Journal of Maps, 2021 The map ‘Geology of the Monte Banchetta – Punta Rognosa area (Troncea valley, Western Alps)’ details the lithostratigraphy and structural setting of a key sector in the Alpine chain, characterized by close associations of continental and oceanic ...

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

Geosciences, 2022 We reassess the architecture and tectonic history of the Western Alps based on recent knowledge developed at rifted margins. First, we replace the main Alpine units of our study area into a synthetic rifted margin template based on diagnostic petrologic,

Qualcosa di nuovo sul fronte occidentale
ArchAlp, 2021 Until a few years ago, the panorama of recent architectural production in the southern Alps seemed merciless. Now the balances have partially balanced themselves out, defining new geographies.

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 ...

Slab Load Controls Beneath the Alps on the Source-to-Sink Sedimentary Pathways in the Molasse Basin
Geosciences, 2022 The stratigraphic development of foreland basins has mainly been related to surface loading in the adjacent orogens, whereas the control of slab loads on these basins has received much less attention.

Geology of the Piemonte-Ligurian units of the Urtier area (Northwestern Alps – Italy)
Journal of Maps, 2021 Detailed geological mapping of the Urtier Valley in the Western Alps allowed to realize a new geological map 1:10.000 in scale. In the mapped area, a complete nappe stack of the axial part of the Alpine belt crops out.
