Geomorphology of the Jebel Akhdar dome (Northern sultanate of Oman)
This study presents a comprehensive geomorphological map of the Jebel Akhdar dome in the northern Sultanate of Oman, a prominent carbonate dome formed during the Late Cretaceous obduction of the Semail Ophiolite. The integration of remote sensing observations and field surveys validations permits to recognise landforms at different scales, and thus complete the geomorphological mapping. The research identifies key landforms shaped by complex inte…
High-resolution magnetochronology detects multiple stages of Pleistocene tectonic uplift and deformation in the Po Plain of northern Italy
We developed a high-resolution magnetochronology of the Pleistocene stratigraphy of the Monte Netto hillock, a tectonically uplifted structure in the Po Plain of northern Italy. Our data allowed reconstructing the depositional age of the sequence and assessing rates of deformation and rock uplift of the neotectonic structure, thus providing constraints on the tectono-sedimentary evolution of this seismically active part of the buried Southern Alp…
ArcStereoNet
ArcStereoNet is a new ArcGIS® based toolbox for stereographic projections that we implement here using Python 2.7 programming language. The reason to develop another stereographic projection package arises from the recent use of Python as an exclusive programming language within the ArcGIS® environment. This permits a more flexible approach for the development of tools with very intuitive GUIs, and also allows the user to take full advantage of a…
Analysis of fabric evolution and metamorphic reaction progress at Lago della Vecchia-Valle d’Irogna, Sesia-Lanzo Zone, Western Alps
The Lago della Vecchia-Valle d’Irogna rocks are part of the Eclogitic Micaschists Complex (EMC) of the Sesia-Lanzo Zone, western Austroalpine domain. The 1:10,000 scale map includes metaintrusive, minor micaschist, banded gneiss, and metabasic boudins. The multiscale structural analysis reveals successive magmatic and tectono-metamorphic stages: during M0 the metaintrusive protoliths emplaced; D1 took place under eclogite-facies conditions; durin…
Recent structural evolution of Forni Glacier tongue (Ortles-Cevedale Group, Central Italian Alps)
Structural glaciology yields important details about the evolution of glacier dynamics in response to climate change. The maps provided here document the occurrence and evolution of brittle and ductile structures on the tongue of Forni Glacier, Ortles-Cevedale Group, Central Italian Alps, between 2003 and 2014. Through the remote sensing-based analysis of structures, we found evidence of brittle fractures such as crevasses, faults and ring faults…
Structural analysis of a subduction-related contact in southern Sesia-Lanzo Zone (Austroalpine Domain, Italian Western Alps)
A new foliation trajectory map at 1:10000 scale, represented here with an interpretative structural map, is derived from an original field analysis at 1:5000 scale in the southern Sesia-Lanzo Zone (SLZ). It shows the relative chronology of overprinting foliations, characterised by the mineral assemblages that mark superposed fabrics in each rock type. This map and the associated cross-sections, which synthesise the 3D structural outline of the te…
Structural mapping in the Mediterranean
Structural and geomorphological map of the Passo San Marco – Pizzo di Trona area (Western Orobic Alps, Southern Alps, Italy)
We present a structural and geomorphological map of the Passo San Marco – Pizzo di Trona area (Northwestern Orobic Alps). This area was studied in order to make a contribution to the mapping and interpretation of the landforms and the mesoscale structures in the basement and sedimentary cover. The aim of this study is to provide a useful insight for a better understanding of the geological and geomorphological evolution of the Orobic belt during …
Tectono-metamorphic map of the Mont Morion Permian metaintrusives (Mont Morion—Mont Collon—Matterhorn Complex, Dent Blanche Unit), Valpelline—Western Italian Alps
Please click here to download the map associated with this article. The presented map displays the structural and metamorphic evolution of lithotypes from pre-Permian to present. We distinguish pre-Permian rocks (e.g., amphibolite, biotite-bearing gneiss and acid granulite) preserved as roof pendants (i.e., xenoliths) within Permian intrusives. Permian intrusives and hosted xenoliths are then re-equilibrated during Alpine evolution, producing cor…
