A geodetic plate motion and Global Strain Rate Model
We present a new global model of plate motions and strain rates in plate boundary zones
constrained by horizontal geodetic velocities. This Global Strain Rate Model (GSRM v. 2.1) …

Surface velocities and strain-rates in the Euro-Mediterranean region from massive GPS data processing
In this work we present and discuss new geodetic velocity and strain-rate fields for the Euro-
Mediterranean region obtained from the analysis of continuous GNSS stations. We describe …

Origin and consequences of western Mediterranean subduction, rollback, and slab segmentation
The western Mediterranean recorded subduction rollback, slab segmentation and
separation. Here we address the questions of what caused Oligocene rollback initiation, and …

Morphometry and elevation of the last interglacial tidal notches in tectonically stable coasts of the Mediterranean Sea
We report detailed morphometric observations on several MIS 5.5 and a few older (MIS 11,
21, 25) fossil tidal notches shaped along carbonate coasts at 80 sites in the central …

Structural and tectono-stratigraphic review of the Sicilian orogen and new insights from analogue modeling
Abstract The Apennines-Sicilian-Maghrebian fold-and-thrust belt originated from the
subduction of the Alpine Tethys and the later collision of drifted continental blocks against …

Constraining tectonic uplift and advection from the main drainage divide of a mountain belt
One of the most conspicuous features of a mountain belt is the main drainage divide. Divide
location is influenced by a number of parameters, including tectonic uplift and horizontal …

Retracing the Africa–Eurasia nascent convergent boundary in the Western Mediterranean based on earthquake and GNSS data
In the western Mediterranean, following the intervening continent-continent collision, the
subduction of the Tethyan ocean has progressively come to an end or almost in large …

Relative sea-level rise scenario for 2100 along the coast of south eastern sicily (Italy) by InSAR data, satellite images and high-resolution topography
The global sea-level rise (SLR) projections for the next few decades are the basis for
develo** flooding maps that depict the expected hazard scenarios. However, the spatially …

The Ionian and Alfeo–Etna fault zones: New segments of an evolving plate boundary in the central Mediterranean Sea?
Abstract The Calabrian Arc is a narrow subduction–rollback system resulting from
Africa/Eurasia plate convergence. While crustal shortening is taken up in the accretionary …

Tectonic expression of an active slab tear from high‐resolution seismic and bathymetric data offshore Sicily (Ionian Sea)
Subduction of a narrow slab of oceanic lithosphere beneath a tightly curved orogenic arc
requires the presence of at least one lithospheric scale tear fault. While the Calabrian …
