Present-day uplift of the western Alps. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractCollisional mountain belts grow as a consequence of continental plate convergence and eventually disappear under the combined effects of gravitational collapse and erosion. Using a decade of GPS data, we show that the western Alps are currently characterized by zero horizontal velocity boundary conditions, offering the opportunity to ...

The Alps-Apennines Interference Zone: A Perspective from the Maritime and Western Ligurian Alps [PDF]
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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2023 The evolution of the Alpine Tethys margins during the beginning of the African-Eurasian convergence was little studied compared to their evolution during the post-Pangea rifting and oceanic expansion, i.e., from the Early Jurassic to the early Late ...

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.
