**About the Editors**

#### **Domenico Liotta**

Domenico Liotta got the Ph.D. in Geology in 1990 at University of Siena. From 1998 is associate professor at Bari University. He carried out researches on the relationships between geological structures and geothermal fluid flow in Iceland, Turkey, Mexico, and Northern Apennines. His expertise in the field mapping activity and collection of structural and kinematic data in brittle and ductile deformation domains. His papers concern structural and filed mapping works, with emphasis in geothermal areas. He was partner and coordinator of several national and international joint programs. He is author of more than 100 peer reviewed scientific journals.

#### **Giancarlo Molli**

Giancarlo Molli got the diploma in Geological Sciences (1990) and the Ph.D. in Structural Geology (1995) at the University of Pisa. From 1995 to 1997 he was post-Doc Researcher at the University of Pisa and Researcher since 1999 where he is now Associate Professor. Visiting researcher at the University of Manchester (UK); Basel (CH) and CNRS Geosciences Montpellier. His research interest focus on the following subjects: (1) orogenic processes and their geometric and kinematic records; (2) zone of localized deformation, their microstructures and relationships with tectonic setting; (3) ciclicity of deformation and record of seismicity in exhumed fault zone; (4) recent and active tectonics of the northern Apennines. The research areas he is currently involved with, and his past studies include: Apennines, Corsica, Alps, Himalaya, Taiwan, Andes. Teaching activity in Tectonics and Applied Structural Geology at the University of Pisa. Authors of more than 90 papers in international peer reviewed scientific journals.

#### **Angelo Cipriani**

Angelo Cipriani got the Master Degree in Exploration Geology (2013) and the Ph.D. in Earth Sciences (2017) at "Sapienza" University of Rome. In 2018, he was a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Department of Earth Sciences of "Sapienza" University of Rome. Since 2020, he works as Researcher at the Geological Survey of Italy (ISPRA) for the National geological mapping project (CARG Project at 1:50,000 scale). His field-based expertise and research interest concerns the geological mapping, the carbonate sedimentology of pelagic and shallow-water environments, Meso-Cenozoic stratigraphy of Tethyan realm, the interaction between syn-depositional tectonics and sedimentation, the paleotectonic reconstruction of rifted basins, carbonate platform-basin settings, the analysis of structurally complex areas. Angelo Cipriani has received numerous awards (i.e., "Emilio Cortese", "David Giuntini", and "Secondo Franchi" awards) and has published more than 20 papers and geological maps in international scientific journals.
