Abstract
"The Molise Apennine, located in the northern sector of the southern Apennine arc, is characterized by the presence of several Quaternary intra-montane basins of tectonic origin (Isernia, Carpino-le Piane, Sessano, Boiano, Sepino) (Fig. 1). Their evolution has been strongly influenced by the development of fault systems related to the post-collisional extensional tectonics that have affected these sectors of the chain since the Late Pliocene–Early Pleistocene, and since Middle Pleistocene, was controlled by extensional fault systems with a general NW–SE trend (AMATO et alii, 2011). The Boiano and Sepino basins, located within a narrow NW– SE deformation belt, are filled with huge Quaternary successions of marshy to lacustrine, volcanoclastic and alluvial deposits (AMATO et alii, 2010). Middle Pleistocene-Holocene chrono-stratigraphical and environmental data were available for the Boiano infilling successions (ISPRA, in press).. In order to better understand the chrono-stratigraphical features of the Boiano basin deeper infilling and its environmental and tectonic evolution, an integrated geomorphological, stratigraphical, geochronological, tephrostratigraphical, pollen and structural approach was carried out."I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
