The central-western Mediterranean area is a key region for understanding the complex
interaction between igneous activity and tectonics. In this review, the specific geochemical …

The origin of forces driving the deformation of the continental crust near subduction zones
and especially in backarc regions is debated. This work is based on a compilation of SKS …

Sicily is a thick orogenic wedge formed by (1) the foreland (African) and its Sicilian orogen
and (2) the thick-skinned, Calabrian–Peloritani wedge. The crust under central Sicily, from …
