Borehole PRAD1–2 was drilled in ∼186 m water depth on the upper slope of central Adriatic, frame Profiles across Mediterranean Sedimentary Systems (PROMESS1) European Union‐funded project. The borehole penetrated 71.2 through a stratigraphic interval characterized by subparallel seismic reflections and uniform units. According to an age‐depth model based several independent proxies (including foraminifera nannoplankton stratigraphy, ∂ 18 O curves, magnetostratigraphy) cored records Marine...
ABSTRACT A succession of depositional sequences, recording middle‐late Pleistocene and Holocene glacial–interglacial cycles, documents the impact short‐term tectonic deformation on western Adriatic margin. The margin is part Apennine foreland which was intensely, though variably, deformed during Meso‐Cenozoic evolution region from a passive to basin. study area extends offshore Gargano Promontory, an uplifted sector foreland, includes three major belts located along or cross‐strike margin:...

The western Adriatic margin (eastern Mediterranean), part of the Apennine foreland, is characterized by a differentiated tectonic setting, showing high subsidence rates (up to 1 mm/yr) in northern area and uplift (on order 0.3–0.5 southern corresponding with so‐called Apulia swell. central marks transition between these two areas. To calculate values, stratigraphy has been investigated through borehole PRAD1.2 (European project Profiles across Mediterranean Sedimentary Systems), first...
Abstract We present a marine palaeoseismology analysis of dense network very high resolution seismic profiles along the Gondola Fault Zone (GFZ), right‐lateral, E–W‐striking, active fault system in Adriatic foreland. This case‐study aims to show how time and space variations activity dominantly right‐lateral can be assessed using vertical component slip. The GFZ has been investigated for length 50 km. It includes two parallel subvertical sets main anticlines. late Middle Pleistocene Holocene...

Abstract The NE Sicilian continental margin is largely affected by canyons and related landslide scars. Two main types of submarine are recognizable: the first type carves shelf up to depths <20 m, a few hundred metres from coast, acting as collector for sediments transported hyperpycnal flows and/or littoral drift. These mostly have V-shaped cross-section characterized strong axial incision, where network dendritic gullies carving canyon flanks converges. second occurs wider, hindering...
The analysis of high resolution morpho–bathymetric data on the Calabro Tyrrhenian continental margin (Southern Italy) enabled us to identify several morphological features originated by mass–wasting processes, including shallow gullies, shelf–indenting canyons and landslides. Specifically, we focus our attention submarine landslides occurring from coast down −1700 m affecting variable areas thousands square meters up few tens kilometers. These also show a large variability geomorphic which...
Sequence stratigraphy arose as a paradigm in after the integration of descriptive seismic method, introduced by Exxon researchers 1970s, with genetic concepts linking attributes to sedimentary dynamics. Since then, sequence model underwent significant modification owing increasing scenarios application, each its own practical requirements. This led fragmentation original into plethora sub-methods and flourishing redundant notions terminology. Reviewers striving preserve unity fitness...
