The Northern Apennines of Italy are a classical site for studying relevant issues in orogenic wedges, such as ophiolite formation and emplacement, interplay between tectonics and sedimentation, role of in-sequence and out-of-sequence thrusting, syn- versus post-orogenic extension, along strike segmentation, etc. Accordingly, the Northern Apennines have been extensively studied since more than two centuries ago. Despite the huge amount of available data with different resolution, a 3D comprehensive regional view combining in a modern framework all available surface and subsurface information for contiguous sectors of the chain is still lacking.

Abstract

The Northern Apennines of Italy are a classical site for studying relevant issues in orogenic wedges, such as ophiolite formation and emplacement, interplay between tectonics and sedimentation, role of in-sequence and out-of-sequence thrusting, syn- versus post-orogenic extension, along strike segmentation, etc. Accordingly, the Northern Apennines have been extensively studied since more than two centuries ago. Despite the huge amount of available data with different resolution, a 3D comprehensive regional view combining in a modern framework all available surface and subsurface information for contiguous sectors of the chain is still lacking. We performed such an attempt in the area framed between the Taro valley to the north and the northern termination of the Alpi Apuane to the south.
