Tectonic evolution and deep mantle structure of the eastern Tethys since the latest Jurassic
The breakup of Pangea in the Jurassic saw the opening of major ocean basins at the
expense of older Tethyan and Pacific oceanic plates. Although the Tethyan seafloor …

Topographic expressions of mantle dynamics in the Mediterranean
The surface of the Earth is the ever-changing expression of the dynamic processes
occurring at depth and at or above its surface. However, our ability to “read” landscapes in …

Hundred million years of landscape dynamics from catchment to global scale
Our capability to reconstruct past landscapes and the processes that shape them underpins
our understanding of paleo-Earth. We take advantage of a global-scale landscape evolution …

The upper mantle beneath the South Atlantic Ocean, South America and Africa from waveform tomography with massive data sets
We present a tomographic model of the crust, upper mantle and transition zone beneath the
South Atlantic, South America and Africa. Taking advantage of the recent growth in …

Andean tectonics and mantle dynamics as a pervasive influence on Amazonian ecosystem
The Amazonian landscape evolution is the result of the combined effect of Andean
tectonism, climate and the Earth's interior dynamics. To reconstruct the landscape evolution …

Initiation of the Andean orogeny by lower mantle subduction
Abstract The Cordillera of the Andes is a double-vergent orogenic belt built up by thickening
of South American plate crust. Several models provide plausible explanations for the …

A mantle convection perspective on global tectonics
The concept of interplay between mantle convection and tectonics goes back to about a
century ago, with the proposal that convection currents in the Earth's mantle drive …
