P wave tomography of the mantle under the Alpine‐Mediterranean area

C Piromallo, A Morelli - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
We study the upper mantle P wave velocity structure below the Euro‐Mediterranean area,
down to 1000 km depth, by seismic travel time tomography. We invert summary residuals …

[BOOK][B] Evolution of the southern Tyrrhenian slab tear and active tectonics along the western edge of the Tyrrhenian subducted slab

A Argnani - 2009 - lyellcollection.org
The evolution of the southern Tyrrhenian subduction has been possibly controlled by distinct
episodes of slab break-off as indicated by a critical review of the geological literature and by …

Upper mantle seismic velocities and anisotropy in China determined through Pn and Sn tomography

Evolution of the Calabrian accretionary wedge (central Mediterranean)

L Minelli, C Faccenna - Tectonics, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The Neogene tectonics of the central Mediterranean are related to the subduction and
trench rollback of the Ionian basin under Eurasia, causing the opening of the Liguro …

Shallow subduction beneath Italy: Three‐dimensional images of the Adriatic‐European‐Tyrrhenian lithosphere system based on high‐quality P wave arrival times

R Di Stefano, E Kissling, C Chiarabba… - Journal of …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Active stress map of Italy

P Montone, A Amato, S Pondrelli - Journal of Geophysical …, 1999 - Wiley Online Library

data. The map reports 200 horizontal stress directions inferred from 109 borehole breakout …

Uppermost mantle velocities and anisotropy beneath Europe

TM Hearn - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
Pn data collected within southern Europe and the Mediterranean are used to
tomographically image variations in both seismic velocity and seismic anisotropy. Seismic …

Crust and upper mantle of Kamchatka from teleseismic receiver functions

V Levin, J Park, M Brandon, J Lees, V Peyton… - Tectonophysics, 2002 - Elsevier
Teleseismic receiver functions (RFs) from a yearlong broadband seismological experiment
