Considerable research effort has been directed at understanding            the controls on initiation and propagation of thrust faults in                  contractional deformation environments.  Much of this work has been             done on upper crustal, thin-skinned thrust belts.  This proposal will           extend this work to a thrust zone that formed at intermediate crustal           levels near the brittle/ductile transition.  The zone lies within the           Tuscan nappe of the Northern Apennines, Italy, and is exposed in a              window through the Liquride sequences located west of the Apuane Alps.          The study will focused on the mechanism that accommodate the                    contractional deformation and will include study of environmental               conditions and the role of fluids.  Results of this research should             contribute to understanding of how thrust zones at mid-crustal levels           initiate and propagate hand thus allow better interpretation of deep            crustal structure.
