In this thesis Marsili back-arc basin and Palinuro Volcanic Complex (Southern
Tyrrhenian Sea) have been investigated by using magnetic, bathymetric and
gravimetric data. A new velocity model of opening of the Marsili basin has
been proposed, highlighting the transition from the horizontal spreading of the
back-arc to the vertical accretion of the Marsili seamount. Introducing gravity
data, Marsili's internal structure has been modeled and a huge portion of the
volcano with low density and vanishing magnetization has been detected.
Forward modeling of Palinuro Volcanic Complex showed as Palinuro
represents the shallowest evidence of a deep tectonic discontinuity and the
possible transition domain between the oceanic crust of Marsili Basin and the
continental crust related to the Appenninic chain.
