The River Terraces - Indicators of the Neotectonic Movements in Albania

8th Congress of the Balkan Geophysical Society (2009)

Rexhep Koçi S. Bushati J‐L. Mugnier E. Perenjasi

From the geological point of view, the whole Albanides thrust belts, represent an integral part of the Dinarides-Albanides-Hellenides arc in the framework of the Alpine folding cycle. Albanides situate along the eastern banks of the Adriatic and Ionian seas, between Dinarides in the north and Hellenides in the south, and overthrust onto the Adria microplate. In other words, the arc of Dinarides-Albanides-Hellenides and the Adria microplate move in the opposite directions across their convergent tectonic boundary. The movement of the Adria microplate is among the main data of reading the deformation phenomenon and tectonic stresses generation along the western margin of the Dinarides-Albanides-Hellenides arc and in the whole central Mediterranean [Altiner, Y et al., 2006]. Also, the Apennines belts overthrust eastward onto the Adria microplate. Consequently, the organic movements of the thrust belts towards the Adria microplate have brought about formation of the western asymmetry thrusted structures and few tectonic napes across the Albanides thrust belts [Aliaj et al., 1996] (fig 1). In other words the pressure stresses regime of the convergence in question have generated a complicated tectonic setting of the Albnides in general, and of the external Albanides and pre-Adriatic Depression in particular [Jouanne et al., 2007]. Subsequently, the whole Albanides have an active neo-tectonic regime, expressed through frequent seismic shakes, hard relief, and steep slopes of the river valleys and existence of several levels of terraces formed during Plio-Quaternary to present days (fig 2).

The Use of ERT, Magnetic and EM High Resolution Methods in Archeological Sites - A Case Study in Apollonia, Albania

Proceedings (2013)

H. Reçi I. Jata S. Bushati M. Haxhimihali

During the period 2011-2012, high resolution geoelectric surveys using Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT), Magnetic and Electromagnetic surveys, has been carried on three archeological sites of Bylis, Apollonia and Tirana Castle, Albania. The geoelectric surveys of squares, was carried out with 2D ERT parallel profiles with distance between them 1.5m or 2m and the distance between electrodes 1m where a multicore cable with 30 takeouts was used. The squares have been surveyed using two geometric configurations, Wenner and Schlumberger arrays. The EM survey grid is 1x 0.5m, whereas the magnetic grid is 1x1m. A 3D interpretation of resistivity profiles has been carried out and the resistivity distribution maps of different depths have been taken. At the same time the 2D map of magnetic anomalies is taken after the appropriate diurnal corrections. The EM 3D maps, show the ground scanning of the conductivity of the underground. From this study we conclude that the ERT method delineates very well the thickness of cultural layer and the buried archaeological objects inside it where the anomalies taken correspond with magnetic anomalies, whereas the EM method delineates very well the conductive clays from the other surrounding formations.

Albanides, a Typical Part of the Alpine Mediterranean Folded Belt, in the Light of the Geophysical Studies

8th Congress of the Balkan Geophysical Society (2009)

A. Frashëri S. Bushati

The Albanides represent the assemblage of the geological structures in the territory of Albania, and together with the Dinarides at the North and the Hellenides at the South, have formed the southern branch of the Mediterranean Alpine Belt. The structural analysis of the Albanides and in the Albanian Adriatic Shelf according to the complex geophysical studies, in the framework of the integrated interpretation with geological information, is presented. There are analyzed also a hydrographical phenomenon in the South Adriatic Sea area, which are correlated with Albanides geological setting.

Gravity networks for the Geodetic Reference Framework of Albania

8th Congress of the Balkan Geophysical Society (2019)

H. Reci Alexandros Stampolidis N. Perparim G.N. Tsokas S. Bushati

Summary This paper presents a general overview of gravimetric measurements carried out for the first order gravimetric network of Albania. Data compensation, correction methodologies, interpretation and related results have been presented as well. Relative gravimetric measurements were carried out in 42points, with two CG-5 instruments. Real Vertical Gradients have been measured at all the points of first order network which together with other corrections, are used in the final data compensation in order to bring the final values at reference point as absolute ones. The measurements were carried out during the period from August to October 2018, in collaboration with Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Department of Geophysics. The project was supported by the Agency of Geospatial Information of Albania.

The structure of the ophiolitic beltin Albania inferred from geomagnetic anomalies

Annals of Geophysics (2009)

Ian Kane Alexandros Stampolidis N. G. Tsokas S. Bushati D. Kondopoulou

The ground magnetic measurements in Albania were used for the compilation of the Total Magnetic Field (TMF) anomaly map of Albania. The magnetic data were processed and interpreted in order to study the structure of the ophiolitic belts of Albania. The ophiolites of Albania are placed at the Mirdita zone and are divided into two parallel alignments which are called the eastern and western ophiolitic belts. They are associated with strong potential field anomalies and their characteristics are considered crucial for a better understanding of the tectonic settings of Albania. The ground TMF data used in this study were acquired over various campaigns (1990-1994) and cover most of Albania's territory. The data were compiled to a map after reduction to the epoch 1990.4. The strongest magnetic anomalies in Albania appear along the known ophiolitic belts which trend NE-SW to the north and NW-SE to the south. Several processing steps were applied to the unified and gridded data in order to obtain information on the distribution of the magnetic sources. The magnetic sources were subsequently modeled using a 2.5D inversion technique. The magnetic properties of the ophiolites determined from laboratory measurements on rock samples, while their lateral extent was calculated from the processing of the magnetic data and used as constraints to the inversion procedure. The bottom of the ophiolitic belts is considered to be predominated by harzburgites. They exhibit lower magnetization than other rocks of the complex, i.e. gabbros, basalt. In fact gabbros are associated with the observed high frequency magnetic anomalies. The modeling results indicate that the thickness of the ophiolites is reduced from east to west. The eastern ophiolitic belt has a maximum thickness of approximately 12 km at its northern section (Kukesi and Lura massifs). The magnetic sources appear with relatively small thickness at the western ophiolitic belt. Boundaries of the eastern ophiolites are characterized by vertical contacts.

75th EAGE Conference and Exhibition incorporating SPE EUROPEC 2013 (2008)

A. Frashëri S. Bushati

Distribution of gravity, magentic and geothermal fields, and their anomalous features in Albanides onshore and in the Albanian Adriatic Shelf in this paper are presented. Results of th reflection seismic surveys are interpreted in the framework of the integrated geological-geophysical data. There are analyzed also a hydrographical phenomenon in the Albanian Adriatic Sea area, which are correlated with Albanides geological setting and climate change.
