In this paper we present an overview of the major triggering mechanisms and preconditions
for slope failure on the European continental margins, a vast area in which the dominant …

The Aegean region is a concentrate of the main geodynamic processes that shaped the
Mediterranean region: oceanic and continental subduction, mountain building, high …

The basin formed along the northern passive margin of Gondwanaland as a relict of the
Mesozoic Neotethys in early Mesozoic time. Though direct information from the basin itself is …

Using the peri-Mediterranean blueschist belts as a case study we discuss the mechanisms
of syn-orogenic exhumation of high-pressure (HP) and ultra-highpressure (UHP) rocks. The …

The first part of the paper summarizes some basic concepts concerning (a) the distribution of
Messinian evaporites in the deepest parts of the Mediterranean Sea and (b) the …

The Aegean region (Greece, western Turkey) is one of the best studied continental
extensional provinces. Here, we provide the first detailed kinematic restoration of the …

This paper aims at summarizing the current extent and architecture of the former Mesozoic
passive margin of North Africa from North Algeria in the west up to the Ionian‐Calabrian arc …

We analyzed the structure and evolution of the external Calabrian Arc (CA) subduction
complex through an integrated geophysical approach involving multichannel and single …

Comparison between the tectonic and palaeogeographic evolution of the Mediterranean
region from the Oligocene to the Present shows that the isolation of the Mediterranean …

The relationship between subduction dynamics and crustal deformation in the
Mediterranean region has been recently studied using three-dimensional (3D) models. Such …
