The Magallanes-Fagnano Fault System (MFFS) constitutes the onshore segment of transform boundary between Scotia and South American plates. objective this study is to provide a characterization portion MFFS, extending from eastern shore Fagnano Lake Atlantic coast Argentina, geometric morphotectonic approach. Detailed analyses satellite images, plane recognition, digital topographic data, field ...

A sedimentary sequence of fluvial deposits preserved in the Corchia Cave (Alpi Apuane) provides new chronological constraints for evolution cave system and timing rate uplift this sector Alpi Apuane since late Pliocene. Supported by magnetostratigraphic analysis performed on fine-grained deposits, radiometric dating speleothems, we suggest that deposition sediments occurred between ~1.6–1.2 Ma....

Abstract Active compressional tectonics along the outer front of Apenninic-Maghrebian chain (Italy) is well documented northern and central segments in Sicily. On other hand, Southern Apenninic Outer Front (SAOF) orogenic activity established only until Lower-Middle Pleistocene. We address hypothesis its subsequent late Quaternary central-southern Italy (Abruzzo Molise regions). integrated topo...

The Himalaya is the most impressive example on earth of an active collisional orogen. It combines rapid crustal shortening and thickening, intense denudation driven by the monsoon climate, and frequent very large earthquakes along an incomparably long and high mountain arc. It has therefore been the focus of a variety of investigations that have addressed various aspects of mountain building on...
