Fluvial inverse modeling for inferring the timing of Quaternary uplift in the Simbruini range (Central Apennines, Italy)

Abstract The timing of Quaternary uplift evolution the Simbruini range (Central Apennines, Italy) is poorly known due to lack reliable chronological constraints post‐orogenic continental clastic units, deposited after upper Messinian thrust‐top facies, and tectonic events. In this regard, we identified main geomorphic markers, including several levels whose plano‐altimetric projection along river longitudinal profile has been correlated with non‐lithological knickpoints. Furthermore, inferred history by applying inverse modeling profiles. Assuming a block model, drainage network cutting recorded 2.4 ± 0.5 Ma history, characterized variable base‐level fall rates (corresponding rates).
