Abstract
The topographic evolution of mountain chains is fundamentally dictated by the balance of erosional and tectonic processes. In the
Northern Apennines, several questions about the late Holocene to present deformation style and uplift rates are still open. We
consider a typical NE facing drainage basin, focusing on all the geomorphic markers capable of supplying direct or indirect
information regarding tectonic forcing on the landscape. Characteristics of altitude and relief, drainage pattern, river profile and
fluvial response expressions were found to be in good agreement, indicating that the most recent tectonic activity consists of a
general persistent uplift of the chain, associated with an extensional regime, where different sectors are distinguished through
differential uplift. Such differences have been found to act both along and transverse to the chain, causing similar coherent patterns
of response in erosional processes. The geomorphology of the catchment displays several features, which together with the long
sustained tectonic forcing indicate the near-attainment of a dynamic equilibrium between the rates of tectonic forcing and erosional
processes, creating steady-state topography.

1. Introduction
The complex interactions between tectonics (the main
factor controlling surface uplift) and denudational
processes in mountain belts constitute the focus of
many research efforts around the world. This renewed
interest in traditional topics of landscape evolution is
mainly due to the widespread availability of digital
elevation models (DEMs) and the development of
equations to describe erosion
