Commission on Neotectonics

Neotectonics is the study of young tectonic events which have occurred or are still occurring in a given region after its orogeny or after its last significant tectonic set-up.

Neotectonic events are strictly connected with the configuration and evolution of the present topography.

The tectonic events are recent enough to permit a detailed analysis by differentiated and specific methods, while their results are directly compatible with seismological observations.

(after Spyros B. Pavlides, 1989).
