“…To the west of the VulcanoeTindari fault system, the southern Tyrrhenian Sea margin is characterized by moderate crustal seismicity, mostly related to an EeW oriented, regional belt of contraction and dextral shear (Nicolich et al, 1982;Boccaletti et al, 1990;Nigro and Sulli, 1995;Gueguen et al, 2002;Giunta et al, 2004). Focal mechanisms are mostly characterized by strikeeslip and reverse-oblique kinematics compatible with lowdip NWeSE to NNWeSSE trending P-axes (Frepoli and Amato, 2000;Neri et al, 2005;Pondrelli et al, 2006;Giunta et al, 2009), roughly consistent with the general convergence between the European and African plates (Hollenstein et al, 2003;Lavecchia et al, 2007;Ferranti et al, 2008).…”

a b s t r a c tNew data are presented for late Holocene relative sea-level changes in two coastal sites of Sicily and Calabria, southern Italy. Reconstructions are based on precise measurements of submerged archaeological remains that are valuable indicators of past sea-level position. The archaeological remains are millstone quarries carved on sandstone coastal rocks and nowadays partially submerged which, to the authors' knowledge, are used for the first time as sea-level markers. Millstones of similar typology are located on the coast of Capo d'Orlando (northern Sicily) and Capo dell'Armi (southern Calabria). When the archeologically-based sea-level position is compared with the shoreline elevation provided by geological markers (Holocene beachrock, Late Pleistocene marine terraces), a refined understanding of relative sea-level changes and rates of vertical tectonic movements for these coastline locations is gained.

“…Sicily has been affected by intense Late Quaternary deformation, associated with high-level 82 seismicity, which can be related to distinct seismogenic domains (Neri et al, 2005). Low to medium 83 magnitude events (4<M<6) affect the deformation belt, which is related to the Eurasia-Nubian 84 convergent boundary (see inset a in Fig.…”

1In this paper a new kinematic and dynamic model on the Recent and active contractional 2 deformation of the Catania region, eastern Sicily, is discussed. The study area represents one of the 3 most seismically active region of the Mediterranean, located at the intersection between the front of 4 the Sicily collision belt and the seismogenic Siculo-Calabrian Rift-Zone. The analysed contractional 5 tectonics form an active triangle zone that originated from the tectonic inversion of a Lower-Middle 6Pleistocene extensional basin, which was located at the northern edge of the African foreland.

“…A lack of deep seismicity (>20 km) in the western arc suggests active subduction in the eastern sector only (De Astis et al, 2003, and references therein). While the western arc undergoes predominant compression (De Astis et al, 2003), the eastern arc undergoes predominant extension (De Astis et al, 2003;Neri et al, 2005;Billi et al, 2006).…”

“…4b suggests that the variations in the extension direction and the angle  along the arc are not linear. In the western Arc, compression predominates (Goes et al, 2004;Neri et al, 2005;Billi et al, 2006). (Capaccioni et al, 2007;Cigolini et al, 2007).…”
