“…The discrepancy between the obtained data, particularly those older than 1600 years PB, and the models [55,56] can be attributed to the active tectonics, as the southern Croatian coast is an area with recorded seismicity [22,23,59] and to active deformation as measured by geodetic methods [60,61]. The results, which range between 0.17 and 0.3 mm/yr, show much smaller average rates of subsidence compared to the Northern Adriatic.…”

“…Movements of the microplate generate a broad transitional zone (2) between the Adria (1) and the Dinarides (3) (Fig. 2) that extends all along the Adriatic coast in a NW and SE direction [16,22]. This transitional zone (2) is characterized by reverse structures of the NW-SE strike.…”

“…Its fault-plain solution represents a strike-slip faulting with a small normal component, although data do not rule out strike slip dominated reverse faults [27]. This is an important event that contributed to the knowledge of the tectonics of the active region in the Central Adriatic Sea [22].…”

Relative Sea-Level Change During the Late Holocene on the Island of Vis (Croatia) – Issa Harbour Archaeological Site

The 2.4 ka shoreline evolution on the Island of Vis has been investigated. It represents a particularly interesting area for this kind of investigation due to the existence of the submerged archaeological remains, the antique port of Issa, as well as to the existence of geomorphological and biological sea-level markers. The actual depths of the different parts of the submerged quay have been mapped and measured with respect to the present mean sea-level, applying corrections for tide and atmospheric pressure values at the time of the surveys. The functional heights related to the sea level at the time of construction have also been taken into account. These data were further compared with predictions derived from a glacio-hydro-isostatic model associated with the Last Glacial cycle. During the investigation of the coast, tidal notches and algal rims were found. They were mapped, measured and correlated with results of the submerged port remains, as well as with other available data along the Croatian coast. Our results demonstrate a 199±25 cm sea-level change during 2.4 ka on the Island of Vis. Taking into account the total relative sea-level change, an average rate of around ~0.83 mm/yr is derived. If the isostatic-eustatic component is separated, a tectonic subsidence rate ranges between 0.17 and 0.3 mm/yr depending on the predicted model used. Compared to the Northern Adriatic area, the Island of Vis shows a much smaller component of tectonic subsidence.

“…According to Ivančić et al (2018), this area is in a phase of stress accumulation and it seems to be close to reaching the critical level of strain. In the middle of the Adriatic Sea, near Jabuka Island, on 27 March 2003 an earthquake of local magnitude 5.8 was recorded (Herak et al, 2005). This was the last of three major events in the area between Jabuka and Palagruža islands with M L ≥ 5.0 in the past 40 years.…”

The lithosphere of Italy is exposed to a number of different short‐term strain transients, including but not limited to landslides, postseismic relaxation, and volcanic inflation/deflation. These transients affect GPS velocities and complicate the assessment of the long‐term tectonic component of the surface deformation. In a companion paper we present a method for anticipating the principal patterns of nontectonic, short‐term strains and building this information into the covariance matrix of the geodetic velocities. In this work we apply this method to Italian GPS velocities to build an augmented covariance matrix that characterizes all expected discrepancies between short‐ and long‐term velocities. We find that formal uncertainties usually reported for GPS measurements are smaller than the variability of the same benchmarks across a geologic time span. Furthermore, we include in our modeling the azimuths of most compressive horizontal principal stresses (SHmax) because GPS data cannot resolve the active kinematics of coastal and offshore areas. We find that the final tectonic model can be made relatively insensitive to short‐term interfering processes if the augmented covariance matrix and SHmax data records are used in the objective function. This results in a preferred neotectonic model that is also in closer agreement with independent geologic and seismological constraints and has the advantage of reducing short‐term biases in forecasts of long‐term seismicity.
