“…The obtained data assume that the region is under approximately NE-SW oriented S H compression and NW-SE trending S h tension. This agrees with the results of neotectonic research carried out in the Polish part of the External Western Carpathians (e.g., Jarosiński, 1998Jarosiński, , 2005Zuchiewicz, 1998) and also with the strain rate map of central Europe implied by the combined analysis of the regional and European Geodetic networks (Caporali et al, 2009), as well as data from the Slovak part of the mountains (Hók et al, 2000;Bóna et al, 2009).…”

“…The orientation of the principal NW-SE tension and perpendicular compression in the study area have also computed in the strain rate map of central Europe implied by the combined analysis of the regional and European Geodetic networks (Pospíšil et al, 2007;Caporali et al, 2009;Hefty et al, 2010). The breakout analysis in the Polish side of the Western Carpathian Flysch belt also indicates the NNE-SSW compression (Jarosiński, 1998(Jarosiński, , 2005.…”

“…Inn, Salzach, Drau and Enns Valleys) follow the major strike-slip faults of the tectonic pattern and contain Oligocene sediments as well as Miocene syntectonic deposits (Frisch et al 1998(Frisch et al , 2000. GPS data (Grenerczy et al 2005;Vrabec et al 2006;Caporali et al 2009) suggest that the eastward extrusion of the Eastern Alps, which waned in the late Middle Miocene (Frisch et al 1998), is still active.…”

Distribution, geometry, age and origin of overdeepened valleys and basins in the Alps and their foreland

Overdeepened valleys and basins are commonly found below the present landscape surface in areas that were affected by Quaternary glaciations. Overdeepened troughs and their sedimentary fillings are important in applied geology, for example, for geotechnics of deep foundations and tunnelling, groundwater resource management, and radioactive waste disposal. This publication is an overview of the areal distribution and the geometry of overdeepened troughs in the Alps and their foreland, and summarises the present knowledge of the age and potential processes that may have caused deep erosion. It is shown that overdeepened features within the Alps concur mainly with tectonic structures and/or weak lithologies as well as with Pleistocene ice confluence and partly also diffluence situations. In the foreland, overdeepening is found as elongated buried valleys, mainly oriented in the direction of former ice flow, and glacially scoured basins in the ablation area of glaciers. Some buried deeply incised valleys were generated by fluvial down-cutting during the Messinian crisis but this mechanism of formation applies only for the southern side of the Alps. Lithostratigraphic records and dating evidence reveal that overdeepened valleys were repeatedly occupied and excavated by glaciers during past glaciations. However, the age of the original formation of (non-Messinian) overdeepened structures remains unknown. The mechanisms causing overdeepening also remain unidentified and it can only be speculated that pressurised meltwater played an important role in this context.

“…Recently, a number of authors published various deformation fields retrieved from GNSS data, on regional or even global scale (e.g. Caporali et al, 2009;Le Pichon and Kreemer, 2010;Pérouse et al, 2012;Nocquet, 2012;Kreemer et al, 2014, and references therein). Their efforts are partly directed to assemble all available geodetic solutions already published and to reduce systematic errors arising from different reference frame adoptions in order to obtain a velocity field as homogeneous as possible.…”
