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 …

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 …

Abstract We use 2.5 to 14 years long position time series from> 800 continuous Global
Positioning System (GPS) stations to study vertical deformation rates in the Euro …

Plate tectonic theory suggests that present-day topography can be explained by the
repeated interactions between the tectonic plates moving along Earth's surface. However …

Abstract The Middle East region represents a key site within the Tethyan domain where
continental break-up, collision, backarc extension and escape tectonics are kinematically …

Mobile belts are long-lived deformation zones composed of an ensemble of crustal
fragments, distributed over hundreds of kilometres inside continental convergent margins …

Dynamic topography is commonly understood to be deflection of the Earth's surface that
results from convection of the mantle. Because different authors use the words “dynamic …

Calabria represents an ideal site to analyze the topography of a subduction zone as it is
located on top of a narrow active Wadati‐Benioff zone and shows evidence of rapid uplift …

The concept of interplay between mantle convection and tectonics goes back to about a
century ago, with the proposal that convection currents in the Earth's mantle drive …

The Chile Triple Junction (CTJ) episodically migrated northward during the past 14 Ma from
54° S to its present‐day position at 46° 30′ S, as different almost trench‐parallel spreading …
