A new reconstruction of Alpine Tethys combines plate-kinematic modelling with a wealth of
geological data and seismic tomography to shed light on its evolution, from sea-floor …

Palinspastic map reconstructions and plate motion studies reveal that switches in
subduction polarity and the opening of slab gaps beneath the Alps and Dinarides were …

We present a geodynamic reconstruction of the Central–Western Mediterranean and
neighboring areas during the last 50Myr, including magmatological and tectonic …

This global study of 31 off-shore back-arc basins and subbasins (BABs) identifies their
principal characteristics based on a broad spectrum of geophysical and subduction-related …

The western Mediterranean subduction zone (WMSZ) extends from the northern Apennine
to southern Spain and turns around forming the narrow and tight Calabrian and Gibraltar …

Geological and geophysical constraints to reconstruct the evolution of the Central
Mediterranean subduction zone are presented. Geological observations such as upper plate …

The Atlas system (Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia) constitutes an important morphologic
barrier fringing the Sahara platform. Its structural style changes along strike from a thick …

Italian Plio-Quaternary magmatism exhibits a very wide petrological, geochemical and
radiogenic-isotope variability, which makes magma genesis and geodynamic significance …

During the Neogene and Quaternary western Mediterranean geodynamics were dominated
by theeastward'migration of the Apenninic arc and associated back-arc basins. The …

During the Cenozoic widespread anorogenic magmatism, unrelated to recent supra-
subduction zone modification of its mantle source, developed within the Mediterranean and …
