The identification of a reliable geodynamic/tectonic model for the Italian region would be extremely useful for several practical purposes, in particular for quantifying the parameters to be used for seismic hazard assessment. In this work, the AA
be reconsidered, taking into account an alternative geodynamic model that can much better explain the major tectonic events occurred in the central Mediterranean region since the late Miocene. - (NF)

This article analyses the instrumental seismicity of the Abruzzo region in the period 1981-2003 in order to obtain a catalogue as homogeneous as possible in terms of location procedure and quality of the results. Four temporal datasets: 1981-1991
seismic network (operating from 1992 to 1999). Particular attention is paid to the velocity models, in order to account for the different stratigraphic/tectonic domains which characterize the Abruzzo region. The new focal mechanisms computed from the 1992
It is argued that the Neogene evolution of the Western Mediterranean region was mainly determined by the East to SE ward extrusion of wedges of the Alkapeca belt and by the westward extrusion of the Betic-Rif-Alboran wedge, both driven
Régions de Mura, Kerka, Hetés : problèmes et inexactitudes dans la classification hiérarchique régionale de ces paysages basée sur la géographie physique
In the physical geographic region-classification of Slovenian-Hungarian borderland, which changed several times in the past century, the names of the natural and ethnographic areas are mingled. The inaccurate markings on official maps
and the mistakes in the nomenclature of region-classification partly derive from this. The author intends to provide an overview of the geological background of the borderland and of the characteristics of its recent surface and landscape development. - (AM)
The geology of the Rocca Busambra-Corleone region, in centralwestern Sicily, is relevant to the understanding of the central sector of the Maghrebian-Sicilian fold-and-thrust belt. In the investigated area Mesozoic shallow- and deep-water carbonate
The AA. studied Pleistocene climate changes recorded in soils that formed over a series of marine terraces near Tongoy about 60 km south of La Serena in the Norte Chico region. The calcrete and soil development took place on 4 marine terraces

in western Sicily. The analyzed region is a segment of the Apenninic-Maghrebian Orogen characterized by the occurrence of two regional superimposed tectonic edifices; the Apenninic-Maghrebian Chain (AMC) and the Pelagian Sicilian Thrust Belt (PSTB) which
Here two commercially-acquired seismic reflection profiles are used to establish the structure and stratigraphic relationships between the frontal part of the orogenic belt, the foredeep and foreland regions in the offshore continuation
Time-scanning of the stratigraphic events has allowed to reconstruct: the different stages of the eastward shift of the chain-foredeep-foreland system; the deformation chronology; the recent effects of the interactions between the regional uplift

seismicity catalogues. Seismotectonic considerations indicate that the region can be divided into four broad crustal seismogenic volumes, of relatively homogeneous deformation: an extensional crustal volume in the western part of the Southern Apennines
The Campania Volcanic Zone (CVZ), located on the eastern margin of the Tyrrhenian Sea, is a region characterized by active tectonics and large ignimbrite eruptions starting from 290 ka. A reconstruction of the three-dimensional architecture
The geological and stratigraphical sequence of the Abruzzo region (Central Italy) is dominated by the Jurassic to Oligocene succession, constituted mainly by limestone, marley limestones, calcareous sandstones, calcareous marls, marls and clayey
In this paper the AA. describe the geometry and kinematics of a contractional structure, consisting of a thrust and related minor structures, which doubled the Tuscan Nappe cropping out in the southern side of the Monte Amiata geothermal region
Bryozoan and Lithothamnion limestones (BLL) from central-southern Italy, commercially known as Perlato Royal Coreno, were used for a long time in the monumental architecture of the Campania and Lazio regions. In this paper, new mineralogical
