Structural and tectono-stratigraphic review of the Sicilian orogen and new insights from analogue modeling
Abstract The Apennines-Sicilian-Maghrebian fold-and-thrust belt originated from the
subduction of the Alpine Tethys and the later collision of drifted continental blocks against …

Retracing the Africa–Eurasia nascent convergent boundary in the Western Mediterranean based on earthquake and GNSS data
In the western Mediterranean, following the intervening continent-continent collision, the
subduction of the Tethyan ocean has progressively come to an end or almost in large …

Detailed tectonic reconstructions of the Western Mediterranean region for the last 35 Ma, insights on driving mechanisms
Slab retreat, slab tearing and interactions of slabs are first-order drivers of the deformation of
the overriding lithosphere. An independent description of the tectonic evolution of the back …

Active tectonics in the Calabrian Arc: Insights from the Late Miocene to Recent structural evolution of the Squillace Basin (offshore eastern Calabria)
Abstract The Calabrian Arc represents one of the most active sectors of the upper plate of
the Tyrrhenian-Ionian subduction system. This research aims to reconstruct the evolution of …

Geodynamic evolution of a wide plate boundary in the Western Mediterranean, near-field versus far-field interactions
The present-day tectonic setting of the Western Mediterranean region, from the Pyrénées to
the Betics and from the Alps to the Atlas, results from a complex 3-D geodynamic evolution …

The Calabrian Arc: three-dimensional modelling of the subduction interface
Abstract The Calabrian Arc is a one-of-a-kind subduction zone, featuring one of the shortest
slab segments (< 150 km), one of the thickest accretionary wedges, and one of the oldest …

Slab narrowing in the Central Mediterranean: The Calabro-Ionian subduction zone as imaged by high resolution seismic tomography
A detailed 3D image of the Calabro-Ionian subduction system in the central Mediterranean
was obtained by means of a seismic tomography, exploiting a large dataset of local …

Geology of the Ionian Basin and margins: A key to the East Mediterranean geodynamics
We revisit the nature, structure, and evolution of the Ionian Basin and its surrounding
passive margins (Apulia, Eastern Sicily/Malta, and Cyrenaica margins). Relying on …
