Seismic tomography models of the three-dimensional upper mantle velocity structure of the
Mediterranean-Carpathian region provide a better understanding of the lithospheric …

Approximately 70 percent of the world's population is concentrated in the coastal
borderlands, which geologists recognize to be the present continental margins. This new …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

Students of a phenomenon as common but complex as andesite genesis often are
overwhelmed by, or overlook, the volume and diversity of relevant information. Thus there is …

It is possible to use the waveform data not only to derive the source mechanism of an
earthquake but also to establish the hypocentral coordinates of the 'best point source'(the …

Examination of more than 100 fault plane solutions for earthquakes within the Alpide belt
between the Mid-Atlantic ridge and Eastern Iran shows that the deformation at present …

The Himalayan-Tibetan orogen culminated during the Cenozoic India--Asia collision, but its
geological framework and initial growth were fundamentally the result of multiple, previous …

We present a model proposing that oceanic lithosphere detaches from continental
lithosphere during continental collision (slab breakoff), allowing an explanation of syn-to …

A number of possible mechanisms have recently been proposed for driving the motions of
the lithospheric plates, such as pushing from mid-ocean ridges, pulling by downgoing slabs …

Trench‐arc systems (subduction zones) can be classified into two types depending on
whether or not actively opening back‐arc basins are associated with them. This suggests …
