Matilda’s castles, northern Apennines: geological and geomorphological constrains

Climate forcing of geological and geomorphological hazards.

The 12 research papers and two summaries of conference discussion sessions contained in this Theme Issue build upon presentations and dialogue at the Third Johnston–Lavis Colloquium held at University College London in September 2009. The meeting brought together delegates from the UK, Europe and the USA to address the issue of climate forcing of geological and geomorphological hazards, with a ...

From underplating to delamination-retreat in the northern Apennines

Isotropic and anisotropic seismic structures across Northern Apennines (Italy)

7 Isotropic and anisotropic seismic structures across Northern Apennines (Italy) 8 subduction zone are imaged using a new method for the analysis of teleseismc 9 receiver functions (RFs). More than 13,000 P-wave coda of teleseismic records 10 from the 2003-2007 RETREAT experiment are able to reveal new insights 11 into a peculiar subduction zone which develops at the convergent margin of 12 two...

Fluid migration in continental subduction: The Northern Apennines case study

Projected future climate changes in the context of geological and geomorphological hazards.

On palaeoclimate time scales, enhanced levels of geological and geomorphological activity have been linked to climatic factors, including examples of processes that are expected to be important in current and future anthropogenic climate change. Planetary warming leading to increased rainfall, ice-mass loss and rising sea levels is potentially relevant to geospheric responses in many geological...
