Benvenuti nell'Anagrafe della Ricerca d'Ateneo
La valutazione delle attività di ricerca che si svolgono nelle università ha assunto un'importanza rilevante sia per l'intero sistema universitario sia all'interno di ogni singolo ateneo. Roma Tre si è quindi dotata di idonei strumenti informativi in grado di supportare al meglio le azioni di monitoraggio e di valutazione delle attività di ricerca svolte nei propri dipartimentied ha realizzato una Anagrafe della Ricerca di Ateneo.
EnglishApatite fission-track (AFT) and (U-Th)/He (AHe) thermochronometry are applied to constraint the thermal history of the basement rock forming the Peloritani Mountains in northeast Sicily, Italy. AFT ages range between 29.0±5.5 Ma and 5.5±0.9 Ma while AHe ages vary from 19.4 Ma to 3.3 Ma. Most AFT ages are younger than the overlying terrigenous sequence that in turn post-dates the main orogenic phase. Through the coupling of the thermal modeling with the stratigraphic record, a middle Miocene thermal event is revealed. This event affected an innerintermediate portion of the Peloritani Mountains and is confined by the distribution of the AFT ages <15 Ma. The U-shaped pattern of AFT ages along N-S transects across the mountain chain is consistent with burial below a thrust stack that is a few km thick, created by an out-of–sequence thrusting phase that affected the inner portion of the belt. The tectonic load was then removed initially by erosion enhanced by the high relief at 10-7 Ma. The difference between young AFT and AHe ages is used to infer a rate of exhumation of 0.3 mm/yr for this stage. The gap between the youngest AHe ages and the sedimentary record above indicate a final exhumation stage with increasing rates of denudation (1-3 mm/yr) since the Pliocene times due to extensional tectonics.

| Abstract: | Apatite fission-track (AFT) and (U-Th)/He (AHe) thermochronometry are applied to constraint the thermal history of the basement rock forming the Peloritani Mountains in northeast Sicily, Italy. AFT ages range between 29.0±5.5 Ma and 5.5±0.9 Ma while AHe ages vary from 19.4 Ma to 3.3 Ma. Most AFT ages are younger than the overlying terrigenous sequence that in turn post-dates the main orogenic phase. Through the coupling of the thermal modeling with the stratigraphic record, a middle Miocene thermal event is revealed. This event affected an innerintermediate portion of the Peloritani Mountains and is confined by the distribution of the AFT ages <15 Ma. The U-shaped pattern of AFT ages along N-S transects across the mountain chain is consistent with burial below a thrust stack that is a few km thick, created by an out-of–sequence thrusting phase that affected the inner portion of the belt. The tectonic load was then removed initially by erosion enhanced by the high relief at 10-7 Ma. The difference between young AFT and AHe ages is used to infer a rate of exhumation of 0.3 mm/yr for this stage. The gap between the youngest AHe ages and the sedimentary record above indicate a final exhumation stage with increasing rates of denudation (1-3 mm/yr) since the Pliocene times due to extensional tectonics. |
