Abstract We report a direct comparison of scaled analogue experiments to test the reproducibility model results among ten different experimental modelling laboratories. present for two experiments: brittle thrust wedge experiment and brittleviscous extension experiment. The set-up, construction technique, viscous material base wall properties were prescribed. However, each laboratory used its own frictional apparatus. Comparison shortening highlights large differences in evolution that may...
Abstract Continental rifting is a geodynamic process that involves the breakup of crust and may eventually evolve to seafloor spreading. Although it often assumed be product orthogonal divergence, continental result from oblique extension, in several cases, related rotation plates or crustal blocks about vertical axis. This implies occurrence rifts with straight but not parallel margins rift axis‐parallel gradients extension velocity amount strain. The effects propagation through has only...
The behaviour of a granular material is mainly dependent on its frictional properties, angle internal friction, and cohesion, which, together with density, are the key factors to be considered during scaling procedure analogue models. properties usually investigated by means technical instruments such as Hubbert-type apparatus ring shear testers, which allow for investigating response tested wide range applied stresses. Here we explore possibility determine different empirical methods...
Magma emplacement in the upper crust is often associated with crustal extension, whereby space for intrusions made by dilation along transtensive and strike‐slip faults. The lenticular shape of several indicates that a further mechanism magma intrusion laccolith roof uplift overburden. Additionally, melts exploit rheological discontinuities (e.g., sedimentary layering) during their ascent. We present an model shallow level Gavorrano Granite (northern Apennine, Italy), which located at core...
In the frame of Integrated Method for Advanced Geothermal Exploration (IMAGE) Project, a reliable exploration and resource assessment workflow was implemented on basis an integrated multidisciplinary approach. Our study addressed to better understanding thermal structure deepest part Larderello geothermal field (Southern Tuscany, Italy) by integrating structural, geological, geochemical, geochronological, petrological geophysical data. With aim characterize reservoir located nearby important...
The Vaiont landslide (Southern Alps, Italy) represents one of the most catastrophic landslides in world recorded modern history. landslide, occurred on 9th October 1963, involved about 3 × 108 m3 rock that collapsed an artificial lake: more than 1900 people died as a consequence tsunami produced by sudden fall mass water. Despite importance this event, many aspects rockslide still remain unexplained, particularly its fast emplacement. In order to obtain better understanding disaster, paper...
Seismic activity in Tuscany, Italy, is driven by the interplay between complex tectonics and fluid flow processes. Fluid-driven seismic sequences are typically associated with high-enthalpy geothermal regions, such as Larderello-Travale Geothermal Field (LTGF). To better understand regional tectonic setting, we derive a detailed catalogue of earthquake hypocenters magnitudes from network consisting 30 permanent stations Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) temporary deployed...
Magmatism is an important driver of topographic change. However, our understanding its long-term impact on evolution remains incomplete. In the framework MIGRATE project, we investigate potential surface response to magmatic intrusions in active Larderello-Travale geothermal field, northern Italian Apennines. Here, multiple igneous bodies have intruded since late Pliocene causing at least 500 meters large-wavelength uplift. We combine available stratigraphic information with a new set...
Geothermal energy plays a crucial role in the global transition. Tuscany hosts Italy’s active geothermal fieds of Larderello-Travale where power generation was pioneered early 20th century. The region is characterized by an anomalously high heat flow rate up to 1000 mW/m2 and extreme gradients (locally exceeding 150°C/km). These conditions drive regional-scale hydrothermal circulation temperatures can exceed 500°C at about 3 km depth. While exploration deep...
Abstract Contractional wedge structures represent one of the most efficient mechanisms for developing orogenic growth. Their displacement is often transferred from deeper thrust faults to overlying oppositely verging faults, accommodating a great amount tectonic shortening. In this context, ductile upper stratigraphic levels play an important role in generating potential detachment‐thrust faults. inner Andean forearc northern Chile, specifically transitional border between Domeyko Cordillera...
