Crustal structure of active deformation zones in Africa: Implications for global crustal processes
Abstract The Cenozoic East African rift (EAR), Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL), and Atlas

The Atlas of Morocco: A plume‐assisted orogeny
We explore the connections between crustal shortening, volcanism, and mantle dynamics in
the Atlas of Morocco. In response to compressional forces and strain localization, this …

Topographic expressions of mantle dynamics in the Mediterranean
The surface of the Earth is the ever-changing expression of the dynamic processes
occurring at depth and at or above its surface. However, our ability to “read” landscapes in …

Finite‐frequency Rayleigh wave tomography of the western Mediterranean: Map** its lithospheric structure
We present a 3‐D shear wave velocity model for the crust and upper mantle of the western
Mediterranean from Rayleigh wave tomography. We analyzed the fundamental mode in the …

New insights into the crust and lithospheric mantle structure of Africa from elevation, geoid, and thermal analysis
We present new crust and lithosphere thickness maps of the African mainland based on
integrated modeling of elevation and geoid data and thermal analysis. The approach …

Moho topography beneath the Iberian-Western Mediterranean region mapped from controlled-source and natural seismicity surveys
The complex tectonic interaction processes between the European and African plates at the
Western Mediterranean have left marked imprints in the crustal architecture of this area …

Paleostress constraints on the tectonic evolution of the Central High Atlas orogen
Abstract The Central High Atlas is distinguished by map-scale, sigmoid, and narrow
magmatic-cored ridges, which separate wide and open synclines. The origin of these …
