Description:
Tectonic motion of the Adria microplate exerts a first-order control on the
tectonics, geology, seismology, resource distribution, and the geological hazards across
a broad zone of south-central Europe and the north-central Mediterranean... This
workshop brought together a distinguished international group of scientists working in
the peri-Adriatic region to: (1) review research activities and results, (2) share
technical expertise, and (3) provide a springboard for future collaborative research on
Adria geodynamics. Areas of agreement were identified, as well as remaining areas of
debate. In addition, attention focused on important scientific questions and the
potential for international and interdisciplinary research in the future
