Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

The Mediterranean offers a unique opportunity to study the driving forces of tectonic
deformation within a complex mobile belt. Lithospheric dynamics are affected by slab …

This hands-on introduction to numerical geodynamic modelling provides a solid grounding
in the necessary mathematical theory and techniques, including continuum mechanics and …

We review the geodynamic evolution of the Aegean–Anatolia region and discuss strain
localisation there over geological times. From Late Eocene to Present, crustal deformation in …

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

We present and interpret Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements of crustal motions
for the period 1988–1997 at 189 sites extending east‐west from the Caucasus mountains to …

Turkey forms one of the most actively deforming regions in the world and has a long history
of devastating earthquakes. The belter understanding of its neotectonic features and active …

A number of tectonic events occurred contemporaneously in the Mediterranean region and
the Middle East 30–25 Myr ago. These events are contemporaneous to or immediately …

The western Mediterranean subduction zone (WMSZ) extends from the northern Apennine
to southern Spain and turns around forming the narrow and tight Calabrian and Gibraltar …

Conditions and dynamics of subduction–collision and subsequent 3-D slab break-off and
slab tear propagation are quantified, for the first time, using fully dynamic numerical models …
