Depositional environment and age of some key Late Pliocene to Early Quaternary deposits on the underfilled Cedrino paleovalley (Orosei): Insight into the Neogene geodynamic evolution of Sardinia
Pierre Giresse,Maria-Angela Bassetti,Frank Chanier,Virginie Gaullier,Agnès Maillard,Isabelle Thinon,Johanna Lofi,Gaël Lymer,Jean-Yves Reynaud,Alessandra Negri,Myriam Saavedra-Pellitero +10 more
TL;DR: In order to better constrain the relationship between tectonics and sedimentation of the Eastern Sardinian Margin, from the Messinian to the present day (METYSS project), a lithostratigraphic study was carried out on the Late Neogene deposits along the Cedrino Valley (eastern Sardinia).

Subduction-related metasomatism in the lithospheric mantle beneath the Calatrava volcanic field (central Spain): constraints from lherzolite xenoliths of the Cerro Gordo volcano
TL;DR: Two types of lherzolite xenoliths appear in the Cerro Gordo maar from the Cenozoic Calatrava volcanic field as discussed by the authors and show a major proportion of metasomatic amphibole (>5 modal...

Seismotectonics of Southern Calabria Terrane (South Italy)
TL;DR: In this article , the main regional tectonic structures, the distribution of earthquake hypocentres and the focal mechanism of earthquakes with magnitude (Ml) ≥ 3 were compared with the kinematics of known faults and used to give insight on the current active stress field.

Feasibility study for the microseismic monitoring of the natural gas reservoir of "SANT'ALBERTO" (Po Plain, Italy)
Simona Carannante,Ezio D'Alema,Sara Lovati,Marco Massa,Paolo Augliera,Gianlorenzo Franceschina +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a feasibility study for the surface seismic monitoring of the Sant'Alberto gas reservoir (Po Plain, Northern Italy) is presented, where the installation of the borehole station allows to improve the detection threshold everywhere within DI, and up to ML =-0.4 nearby the reservoir; localization thresholds obtained in the crustal volume included in DE, but not in DI, show values around ML = 1.0.
Stratigraphy and chronology of the Cala Mosca site, SW Sardinia (Italy)
TL;DR: In this paper , the relict beach deposit of the Cala Mosca marine terrace is considered an important section of Marine Isotopic Stage (MIS) 5e (ca. 125 ka) sea-level highstands.

A plate tectonic model for the Paleozoic and Mesozoic constrained by dynamic plate boundaries and restored synthetic oceanic isochrons
TL;DR: In this article, a plate tectonic model for the Paleozoic and Mesozoic (Ordovician to Cretaceous) integrating dynamic plate boundaries, plate buoyancy, ocean spreading rates and major Tectonic and magmatic events was developed.

TL;DR: In this article, phase diagrams of hydrous mid-ocean ridge (MOR) basalts to 330 km depth and hydrous peridotites to 250 km depth are compiled for conditions characteristic for subduction zones.

Extension in the Tyrrhenian Sea and Shortening in the Apennines as Result of Arc Migration Driven by Sinking of the Lithosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, an arc migration model was proposed to explain the dynamic relationship between extension in the Tyrrhenian basin and compression in the Apennines, and the estimated contemporaneous (post-middle Miocene) amounts of extension and shortening in the apennines appear to be very similar.

Kinematics of the western Mediterranean
TL;DR: In this article, a preliminary model for the Cenozoic kinematic evolution of the western Mediterranean oceanic basins and their peripheral orogens is presented, which integrates the motion of Africa relative to Europe based upon a new study of Atlantic fracture zones using SEASAT data and the Lamont-Doherty magnetic anomaly database.

TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of the Tethys belt from the Pliensbachian (190 Ma) to the Tortonian (10 Ma) is depicted at 1 20,000,000 scale.
