The offshore margin of Mt. Etna has been shaped by Middle Pleistocene to Holocene shortening and extension and, more recently, gravity-related sliding the volcanic edifice. These processes have acted contemporaneously although gravitational component largely prevails over tectonic one. In order investigate this issue, we focused on main role active tectonics along south-eastern means marine high-resolution seismic data. Seismic profiles revealed post-220 ka sedimentary deposits unconformably...
Abstract Volcanic‐intrusive complexes often formed along lateral slab edges as a consequence of subduction‐induced mantle flow. We investigate this process in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea by integrating multibeam bathymetry, seismic‐reflection data, regional magnetic anomalies and seismological data. The interpretation data highlights presence magmatic intrusions that locally reach seafloor forming volcanic edifices. Chimneys, lava flows, laccoliths are observed beneath surrounding volcanoes....
The evolution of forearc and backarc domains is usually treated separately, as they are separated by a volcanic arc. We analyse their spatial temporal relationships in the Tyrrhenian subduction system, using seismic profiles numerical modelling. A arc, which included Marsili volcano, was involved arc-rifting during Pliocene. This process led to formation an oceanic basin (~ 1.8 Ma) west volcano. eastern region corresponded domain, floored serpentinised mantle. Here, new arc formed at ~ 1 Ma,...
Abstract Using seismic reflection profiles and bathymetric data, we analyzed the stratigraphy tectonics of Paola Basin, providing information on dynamic forearc Tyrrhenian‐Ionian subduction system. The Basin is a NNW‐SSE trending syncline, bounded by Coastal Chain to east Anticline west. It hosts up 5.2 km thick Plio‐Quaternary deposits, most them supplied from Apenninic/Sila entry points transported longshore currents. total subsidence reaches value ∼5 km. sedimentary load varies 60% 75%...
Diagnostic morphological features (e.g., rectilinear seafloor scarps) and lateral offsets of the Upper Quaternary deposits are used to infer active faults in offshore areas. Although they deform a significant region, not necessarily capable producing large earthquakes as correspond shallow structures formed response local stresses. We present multiscale approach reconstruct structural pattern areas distinguish between shallow, non-seismogenic, faults, deep blind potentially associated with...
Abstract We examined the relationship between coastal boulder production and volcanic rock features on high-energy rocky coast of Pantelleria Island (Sicily Channel, Mediterranean Sea). used geological data for 125 boulders 21 rupture surfaces, integrated with fracture analysis, radiocarbon dating, numerical hydrodynamic hindcast model wave characterization. The field consists isolated grouped blocks detected along shore platform cliff top Punta Sidere (northwestern Pantelleria). Boulder...

Abstract. Large calderas are among the Earth's major volcanic features. They associated with large magma reservoirs and elevated geothermal gradients. Caldera-forming eruptions result from withdrawal collapse of chambers produce large-volume pyroclastic deposits later-stage deformation related to post-caldera resurgence volcanism. Unrest episodes not always followed by an eruption; however, every eruption is preceded unrest. The Campi Flegrei caldera (CFc), located along eastern Tyrrhenian...

<p>An ultra-resolution, multichannel seismic reflection data set was collected during an oceanographic cruise organised in the frame of “<em>Earthquake Potential Active Faults using offshore Geological and Morphological Indicators</em>” (EPAF) project, which founded by Scientific Technological Cooperation (Scientific Track 2017) between Italian Ministry Foreign Affairs International Science, Technology Space State Israel....
The integrated interpretation of high-resolution multibeam bathymetry, seismic profiles and backscatter data in the S. Eufemia Gulf (SEG; Calabro-Tyrrhenian continental margin, south-eastern Tyrrhenian Sea) documents relationship between postglacial fault activity morpho-sedimentary processes. Three systems active normal faults that affect seafloor or shallow subsurface, have been identified: 1) system located on shelf with planes mainly oriented N26E-N40E; 2) offshore lies slope off Capo...
The evolution of backarc and forearc basins is usually treated separately, as the volcanic arc represents a clear barrier between them. We analyse their spatial temporal relationships in Tyrrhenian subduction system, using seismic profiles numerical modelling. Our results highlight that Marsili volcano, commonly interpreted spreading centre basin, was instead part an old (Pliocene) associated with development Vavilov basin (4.3-4.1 to 2.6 Ma). successively affected by rifting. This process...
