“…Many gravity data sets have been used and different models have been produced for the Adriatic region in the past (e.g., Torge et al, 1984;Spakman and Wortel, 2004;Caratori Tontini et al, 2007;Sumanovac, 2010;Tassis et al, 2013), but a regional-scale and gravity-constrained magnetic modeling has never been achieved despite magnetic data being collected in 1979 and the first derived map being published in 1983 (AGIP, 1983). We believe that given the dimension and intensity of the magnetic anomaly in the central Adriatic, modeling will certainly contribute to the understanding of the geological evolution of this intriguing area.…”
