[HTML][HTML] Orogenic architecture of the Mediterranean region and kinematic reconstruction of its tectonic evolution since the Triassic

DJJ Van Hinsbergen, TH Torsvik, SM Schmid… - Gondwana …, 2020 - Elsevier
The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

[HTML][HTML] Atlas of the underworld: Slab remnants in the mantle, their sinking history, and a new outlook on lower mantle viscosity

DG Van der Meer, DJJ Van Hinsbergen, W Spakman - Tectonophysics, 2018 - Elsevier
Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
