Abstract

Generalized Tectonic Maps of the Alps
The folders contain the georeferenced tectonic maps of Schmid et al. (2004) and the generalized map of M.R. Handy. The dataset provides the original QGIS project files plus example scripts for plotting with Matplotlib (Python) or GMT.
The first map in the folder was created by Schmid et al. (2004) and should be referenced accordingly.
The AlCaPaDi map represents a generalized compilation created by MR Handy, showing the major tectonic units in the Alps, most of the Apennines, Dinarides, Carpathians, and even the NW part of the Hellenides. Its colours show the main tectonic units and their plate tectonic affinity. Please cite this map with at least the following three references: "Tectonic units and major lineaments simplified from Schmid et al. (2004, 2008); Handy et al. (2010)." Or use the full list: Bigi et al. (1983), Schmid et al. (2004, 2008), Froitzheim et al. (1996), Handy et al. (2010) and Bousquet et al. (2012). The detailed references are provided with the linked files.
