The Mediterranean offers a unique opportunity to study the driving forces of tectonic
deformation within a complex mobile belt. Lithospheric dynamics are affected by slab …

Progress in seismic methodology and ambitious large‐scale seismic projects are enabling
high‐resolution imaging of the continental crust. The ability to constrain interpretations of …

Recent studies on seismic imaging of the Northwest Pacific and East Asian region are
reviewed. High-resolution tomographic images reveal significant lateral heterogeneities in …

Abstract The Middle East region represents a key site within the Tethyan domain where
continental break-up, collision, backarc extension and escape tectonics are kinematically …

The geological and geophysical phenomena associated with water in the slab can be
grouped into three different categories: those related to 1) the storage of water in the oceanic …

A detailed 3‐D model of P wave isotropic velocity and azimuthal anisotropy beneath SE Asia
is obtained by jointly inverting local earthquake arrival times and teleseismic relative travel …

Subducting plates around the globe display a large variability in terms of slab geometry,
including regions where smooth and little variation in subduction parameters is observed …

Seismic anisotropy records past and present tectonic deformations and provides important
constraints for understanding the structure and dynamics of the Earth's interior. In this work …

Body-wave and surface-wave tomography, receiver-function imaging, and shear-wave
splitting measurements have shown that seismic anisotropy and heterogeneity coexist in all …

This study provides a comprehensive review of the crystal preferred orientation (CPO) of
olivine and orthopyroxene in the upper mantle, and of several hydrous minerals in the …
