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 …

The stunningly increased resolution of the deep crustal levels in recent industrial seismic
profiles acquired along most of the world's rifted margins leads to the unraveling of an …

Assessing the size of a former ocean of which only remnants are found in mountain belts is
challenging but crucial to understanding subduction and exhumation processes. Here we …

During extension, the continental lithosphere thins and breaks up, forming either wide or
narrow rifts depending on the thermo-mechanical state of the extending lithosphere. Wide …

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 …

A new kinematic reconstruction that incorporates estimates of post‐20 Ma shortening and
extension in the Apennines, Alps, Dinarides, and Sicily Channel Rift Zone (SCRZ) reveals …

Since the first discovery of ultrahigh pressure (UHP) rocks 30 years ago in the Western Alps,
the mechanisms for exhumation of (U) HP terranes worldwide are still debated. In the …

Abstract The Georgetown Inlier of northeast Australia provides evidence of critical links
between Australia and Laurentia during the late Paleoproterozoic and the early …

We describe and interpret an unpublished set of ION Geophysical seismic reflection profile
showing strong organized seismic reflectors at the base of the continental crust of the …

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 …
