During the Cenozoic widespread anorogenic magmatism, unrelated to recent supra-
subduction zone modification of its mantle source, developed within the Mediterranean and …

▪ Abstract Mantle plumes are recognized by domal uplift, triple junction rifting, and especially
the presence of a large igneous province (LIP), dominated in the Phanerozoic by flood …

Spatial point processes are mathematical models used to describe and analyse the
geometrical structure of patterns formed by objects that are irregularly or randomly …

We study the upper mantle P wave velocity structure below the Euro‐Mediterranean area,
down to 1000 km depth, by seismic travel time tomography. We invert summary residuals …

New finite‐frequency tomographic images of S‐wave velocity confirm the existence of deep
mantle plumes below a large number of known hot spots. We compare S‐anomaly images …

Post-collisional magmatism in the southern Iberian and northwestern African continental
margins contains important clues for the understanding of a possible causal connection …

The evolution of the European Cenozoic Rift System (ECRIS) and the Alpine orogen is
discussed on the base of a set of palaeotectonic maps and two retro-deformed lithospheric …

Slab tearing induces localized deformations in the overriding plates of subduction zones
and transfer zones accommodating differential retreat in back-arc regions. Because the …

Images of the European crust and upper mantle, created using seismic tomography, identify
the Cenozoic Rift System and related volcanism in central and western Europe. They also …

Small amounts of water can significantly affect the physical properties of mantle materials,
including lowering of the solidus, and reducing effective viscosity and seismic velocity. The …
