Novel insights into the geological architecture and evolution of Antigua, a key area for Caribbean geodynamics, paleogeography, and paleobiology

Understanding the strain distribution along the Lesser Antilles is essential, because they form a seismic active region. The objective of this thesis is to pave the way for such understanding by providing new insights on the geological architecture and evolution of Antigua, a key area for Caribbean geodynamics, paleogeography and paleobiology....

The structure of the Lavagna Nappe in the region of Monte Ramaceto and Val Graveglia (Ligurian Apennines, Italy)

Detailed structural analysis and mapping in the Lavagna Nappe reveals the effect of various phases of deformation on a regional scale. The earliest phase produced large isoclinal, originally SW-facing folds (F1). A second phase led to the development of open folds (F2). The vergence of the younger folds (F3, F4) is NE. Thrusting occurred in two...
