	Eastern Alps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eastern Alps is the name given to the eastern half of the Alps, usually defined as the area east of the Splügen Pass in eastern Switzerland.
		The Eastern Alps are traditionally divided according to the Alpenvereinseinteilung (arrangement of the Alpine Club) into several dozen small regions, each assigned to the Northern Calcareous Alps, the Central Eastern Alps or the Southern Calcareous Alps.
		During the Würm glaciation, the Eastern Alps were drier than the Western Alps, with the contiguous ice shield ending in the region of the Niedere Tauern in Austria.

		The Alps is the collective name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria in the east, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany, through to France in the west.
		The highest mountain in the Alps is the Mont Blanc at 4810 meters on the French-Italian border.

		Central Alps are located in the Eastern Switzerland to the east of Bernese and Pennine Alps and beyond Grimsel and Furka Passes.
		Farther south on the Swiss-Italian border between Simplon and Splügen passes lie the Lepontine Alps (eastern part of the range is sometimes refered to as Adula Alps).
		While the mountains in the Central Eastern Alps are not as high and generally not as steep as in Western Alps, the normal routes on the most high peaks are in the F-PD range.

	Encyclopedia: Paganism in the Eastern Alps
		The eastern and central Alpine region is rich in traditions dating back to pagan times, the pre-Christian Germanic (1st millennium), or even the Celtic (1st millennium BC) period.
		In the Alps, the relationship between the Catholic Church and paganism has been an ambivalent one.
		As a result the reputation of paganism in Austria and Bavaria has suffered somewhat, even if the majority of those who practise it strongly object to accusations of nationalism.

	Present-day lithospheric strength of the Eastern Alps and its relationship to neotectonics
		We calculate the present-day lithospheric strength of the Eastern Alps along the new reflection seismic profile TRANSALP to examine vertical and lateral strength variations and their implications on neotectonic activity of the Eastern Alps.
		The large-scale geometry of the Eastern Alps and the spatial distribution of upper, and lower crustal layers, and the lithospheric mantle is constrained by the deep seismic line.
		Model A is characterized by a brittle-ductile boundary between 14 and 9 km depth and strong coupling of the mechanically strong lower crust to the upper mantle, whereas Model B suggests the presence of a thick decoupling zone between the upper crust and the upper mantle and a shallower brittle-ductile boundary (7–10 km).

	Southern Limestone Alps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Southern Limestone Alps are the ranges of the Eastern Alps south of the Central Eastern Alps.
		The distinction from the latter group, where the higher peaks are located, is based on differences in geological composition.
		The Southern Limestone Alps extend from the Sobretta-Gavia Alps in Lombardy in the west to the Pohorje in Slovenia in the east.

	Gravity investigations of the crustal structure in the Eastern Alps
		During 1998 and 1999 a seismic reflection profile was investigated over a length of 340 km, covering the Eastern Alps and parts of the northern and southern molasse basins.
		The Alps are an orogenic belt extending from the French-Mediterranean area to Switzerland and Austria.
		The molasse zone in the north of the Alps consists of sediments in a deep geosyncline in front of the nappe pile and is overthrusted.

	Imbricated Channel Systems in the Molasse Foreland Thrust Belt: the Effect of Lateral Orogenic Float of the Eastern Alps (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The Molasse foreland thrust belt of the Eastern Alps was formed during Oligocene to Miocene post-collisional shortening between the Adriatic and European plates.
		Miocene lateral extrusion of the Eastern Alps, caused lateral ENE wedging of the upper plate.
		Balancing of the upper plate shortening by horizontal retrodeformation of lateral escaping and extruding wedges of the Eastern Alps enables an evaluation of the total post-collisional deformation of the hangingwall plate.

	3D density structure and isostatic state of the Eastern Alps (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The Eastern Alps are part of a continent-continent collision zone and probably not in isostatic equilibrium.
		Investigating the lithospheric depth range that causes the observed anomalies (gravity, geoid, gradients) is therefore of special interest.
		3-D modelling of the geometrical structure, the elastic plate thickness, the rigidity and the density distribution of crust and upper mantle beneath the Eastern Alps is the main task of this project using results and findings of other geoscientific methods as constraints.

	First deep seismic reflection images of the Eastern Alps reveal giant crustal wedges and transcrustal ramps
		The Alps are considered as a classical example for an orogen created by continental plate collision.
		In this study we present new images obtained from deep seismic reflection profiling in the Eastern Alps between Munich and Venice which give rise to examine and revise existing concepts.
		New models of the evolution of the Eastern Alps show an upper/lower crustal decoupling along transcrustal thrust faults with opposite thrust directions of both the European and the Adriatic-African continents.

	Tectonic constraints from 40Ar/39Ar ages of detrital mica from flysch and molasse basins of the Eastern Alps (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The filling histories of Variscan and Alpine flysch and molasse basins of Eastern Alps and Bohemian Massif have been studied by 40Ar/39Ar dating of single and multi-grain samples (5-15 grains per sample) of detrital white mica in order to reveal exhumation processes in the hinterland.
		The studied Variscan basins include Carnic Alps, Greywacke zone, Gurktal nappe complex and the Graz Paleozoic of the Eastern Alps: These units comprise similar Ordovician to Devonian passive continental margin successions, Early Variscan syn-collisional flysch and Late Carboniferous to Permian Molasse sequences.
		The data of Early Carboniferous flysch basins in the Eastern Alps and similar data from the eastern Bohemian Massif record a predominant Devonian, the Bohemian Massif also Early Carboniferous metamorphic sources where the time lag is ca.

	Temperature distribution in the Eastern Alps- (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		In the Eastern Alps there is less information available about temperature distribution.
		So far this has often caused a wrong estimation of the geothermal gradient, which is usually approximated by 3°K/100m.
		For that purpose the geological situation, the most important drilling facts and the available interpretation is collected and borehole profiles are created.

	Palaeogene of the Eastern Alps (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The biotic development during the Paleogene was influenced by dramatic climatic and eustatic sea-level changes as well as by a remarkable incision at the Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary, which led to subsequent faunal and floral radiations.
		In the Eastern Alps, the interplay of tectonic, atmospheric, and eustatic sea-level changes is expressed by changing distribution patterns of depositional environments during the Paleogene.
		The Tethys Ocean vanished completely during the Eocene and the uplift of the Alpine orogen formed an archipelago separating the Paratethys in the North and the Mediterranean Sea in the South.

		During the second half of the XX century foresters working in the South- Eastern Alps regions in Italy became more and more interested in the concepts of nature oriented (or near to nature), silviculture (from now on NOS) and started to implement them..
		With NOS we define an approach to silviculture aimed at carrying out economic, protective, aesthetic goals adopting criteria consistent with the spontaneous dynamic of the forest stand, that is trying to use as much as possible natural factors and mimic natural structures and processes.
		Because of the intense and prolonged exploitations due to the poverty of mountain populations, the exceptional cuts and damages caused by WWI (1915-1918) which was fought in many forest areas of the Eastern Alps, and WWII, the limited technical and scientific knowledge, the administrative and political problems, forests were frequently degraded.
