Description:
The CROP 1A Profile corresponds to the southern section (in Italy) of the Central European Profile (CEP), which the following geophysical-geological institutions have acquired as part of their seismic exploration studies of the lithosphere: DEKORP (Germany), OEKORP (Austria), and CROP (Italy). The joint program, which consists mainly of seismic reflection acquisition along the profile from the Bavarian foreland (München) down to the Adriatic Venetian Plain (Treviso), was brought under the umbrella of the TRANSALP Project in 1998; the seismic acquisition part of this Project has now been completed, as most of the data processing. The seismic profile was acquired during 1998, by the contractor THOR in the Bavarian segment, and by the contractor GEOITALIA in the southernmost Venetian sector (between Conegliano and Peron, a village north of Belluno). The Profile was completed in 1999 by THOR. In order to integrate the seismic data of the Transalp Profile, shown in figure 6 and in Plates 68-71, which are the main topic of this paper, we include a brief description conditions in the zones crossed by the Profile. The various from south to north, from the “Venetian Molasse” of Montello and the Belluno mountains in the Italian Dolomites and, N of the Insubric Line, to the eastern sector of the Northern Alps, including the Tauern window, and the Northern Calcareous Alps and, in the foreland, the Bavarian Molasse structural settings.
