The Neogene-Quaternary, Apenninic deformation severely affected the central-southern side of the Po Plain subsurface and western side of the northern AdriaticSea, and is known to have generated four asymmetric structural arcs, hundreds of Km long
, running from W to E, namely : Turin Hill-Monferrato-Langhe-Maritime Alps (arc 1), Emilia Romagna-Marche (arc 2), Ferrara (arc 3) and Adriaticsea (arc 4). The arcs are the results of a westward movement of autochthonous crustal blocks pushed from ESE-SE
Biocenotical ecozonation in Mediterranean karst of W. Dinaric Alps, Adriatic islands, and sea bottoms
The insular mounts and some maritime Dinaric Alps at E. Adriatic present a complete Mediterranean altitudinal zonation, from the apical Acromediterranean up to warmest Inframediterranean belts. A correlated submarine horizontal zonation from Thermo
-to Submediterranean benthic vegetation exists also in Adriatic bottoms. Four different types of coastal zonations are registered: widespread mesic of E. Adriatic, xeric one in dry pelagic isles, humid one in SE. coast, and a special stormy one in NE. coast exposed
The Apenninic foreland shows two distinct structural signatures comparing the central AdriaticSea and the Puglia region, located northward and southward respectively along strike in the foreland. - (MR)

Article discusses causes and consequences of Quaternary sea-level changes. It describes all major markers of the process, which have been ascertained with isotopic studies and observations of geomorphologic particularities, with special interest
breakdown of organic matter. By using the magnetic parameters as indicators of paleoredox conditions the AA. compare the results with cores collected in the central and southern AdriaticSea at different water depths. The formation of the Adriatic Deep Water
The youngest sapropel S1 has been investigated by a multiproxy study on a core (ET99-M11) collected in the western Ionian Sea at a water depth of 2800 m, which is considered to represent anoxic conditions in the eastern Mediterranean at the time

change in a period of forty-seven years. It is focused to investigate the reasons for the changes of mean sea level and its influencing factors in north AdriaticSea. Results on the analysis of time series of mean sea level and factors are illustrated
The article deals with the issue of the sea level rise as one of the indicators of climate change in Slovenian sea. The primary purpose of the article is to find out if the changing sea level in Slovenian sea is a consequence of global climate
The Adriatic coastal area stretching from Monopoli to Brindisi in Apulia is characterised by landforms and marine/coastal deposits of Middle-Upper Pleistocene age. An E-W striking fault system, roughly corresponding to the geographic “Soglia
The coastal scenery of the Northeastern Adriaticsea is widely interested by caves and related coastal features, which are developed in correspondence of geological weaknesses of sea cliffs. We present the preliminary surveying of five partially

The Tremiti Islands archipelago, located north of Gargano promontory's coast, is part of a complex geological area within the Adriatic basin, facing the junction between central and southern Apennines. This area is well known for Neogenic-Quaternary
stratigraphic, tectonic and seismologic aspects and is crucial for the definition of Late Quaternary Adriatic basin evolution. This work gives a contribution of geomorphological data concerning the inner continental shelf around the islands. - (NF)

The author deals with the complexity of minority and border issues that make up the problem of studying contact areas in the upper Adriatic. The nexus of these issues is under the simultaneous influence of various factors contributing
to the formation of different phenomenon typologies within the social dominance-minority relation, comprised of the situation of border national minority, territorial or regional minority and urban minority. Upper Adriatic has once again proven to be a most
. An outline demarcation of the boundary dividing the european continent into two parts is then made. This boundary runs from the Barents Sea to the Adriatic : situated to the west of it are the nations linked with the western legacy of Latin pedigree, while
The aim of AA’ investigations was to explore the evolution of loess platform and the landforms on Susak Island in Kvarner Bay, North Adriatic basin. Special emphasis was put on the role of tectonic movements in the landscape evolution of the island
sediments or becoming unburied by abrasion; special loess landforms formed on denudation-accumulation relief. AA. also highlighted the role of sand dune cave levels situated above the surface and under the sea level in indicating hiatus of paleosoil series

The local road connecting has an important meaning for the survival and development of the little Adriatic islands. Some of realised road connections between the main points of these islands signify the importance of such a kind of traffic
