Abstract The Eastern Mediterranean captures the east‐west transition from active
subduction of Earth's oldest oceanic lithosphere to continental collision, making it an ideal …

Africa's Cenozoic tectonism is often attributed to mantle plumes, particularly below East
Africa, but their morphology, number, location, and impact on the African lithosphere are …

ABSTRACT P‐wave travel‐time residuals from USArray helped improve the scale and
consistency with which the mantle beneath North America is resolved. Beginning in 2008 …

The Laramide foreland belt comprises a broad region of thick-skinned, contractional
deformation characterized by an anastomosing network of basement-cored arches and …

Seismic wave speed is controlled by a number of factors, including temperature and
chemical composition, as well as the presence of volatiles and partial melt. Tomography …

Our understanding of the present‐day state and evolution of the Canadian and Alaskan
mantle is hindered by a lack of absolute P‐wavespeed constraints that provide …

Abstract The Northern Canadian Cordillera (NCC) is an actively deforming orogenic belt in
northwestern Canada. Geochemical and geophysical data show that the NCC is underlain …

Arc-continent collision, followed by subduction polarity flip, occurs during closure of oceanic
basins and contributes to the growth of continental crust. Such a setting may lead to a highly …

Seismic velocity models provide important constraints on Greenland's deep structure, which,
in turn, has profound implications for our understanding of the tectonic history of this region …

Cratons, the ancient cores of the continents, have survived thermal and mechanical erosion
over multiple Wilson cycles, but the ability of their margins to withstand modification during …
