TL;DR: In this article , the authors collected and digitized seismic data from 160 deep wells for hydrocarbon exploration/exploitation purposes in the Po Plain and in the facing northern Adriatic Sea, along with several published geological cross-sections and maps.
A Review of the Dynamics of Subduction Zone Initiation in the Aegean Region

TL;DR: In this article , a Late Cretaceous-Jurassic SZI age is proposed using tomography and timing of obducted ophiolite fragments thought to be related to the system.
Adria in Mediterranean paleogeography, the origin of the Ionian Sea, and Permo-Triassic configurations of Pangea
TL;DR: In this article , a sinistral strike-slip fault system is used to model the motion of the Adriatic Sea relative to Africa in Mesozoic and early Cenozoic time, which is consistent with the observed similarities of Permian and younger paleomagnetic poles from Adria and NW Africa.

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.

Max W. Schmidt,Stefano Poli +1 more
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.
