The Central-Western Mediterranean: Anomalous igneous activity in an anomalous collisional tectonic setting
M Lustrino, S Duggen, CL Rosenberg - Earth-Science Reviews, 2011 - Elsevier
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 …

From mantle to crust: Stretching the Mediterranean
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 …

Combining controlled-source seismology and receiver function information to derive 3-D Moho topography for Italy
The accurate definition of 3-D crustal structures and, in primis, the Moho depth, are the most
important requirement for seismological, geophysical and geodynamic modelling in complex …

Shallow subduction beneath Italy: Three‐dimensional images of the Adriatic‐European‐Tyrrhenian lithosphere system based on high‐quality P wave arrival times
This paper presents a velocity model of the Italian (central Mediterranean) lithosphere in
unprecedented detail. The model is derived by inverting a set of 166,000 Pg and Pn seismic …
