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 …

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 …

Using full-colour palaeogeographical maps from the Cambrian to the present, this
interdisciplinary volume explains how plate motions and surface volcanism are linked to …

We present a map that correlates tectonic units between Alps and western Turkey
accompanied by a text providing access to literature data, explaining the concepts used for …

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 …

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 …

A new reconstruction of Alpine Tethys combines plate-kinematic modelling with a wealth of
geological data and seismic tomography to shed light on its evolution, from sea-floor …

The Pannonian basin is an integral part of the convergence zone between the Eurasian and
Nubian plates characterized by active subductions of oceanic and continental plates, and …

Lithium, which is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity, became a strategic metal in
the past decade due to its widespread use in electromobility and green technologies. The …

Palinspastic map reconstructions and plate motion studies reveal that switches in
subduction polarity and the opening of slab gaps beneath the Alps and Dinarides were …
