Abstract The Neo-Tethys Ocean was an eastward-ga** triangular oceanic embayment
between Laurasia to the north and Gondwana to the south. The Neo-Tethys Ocean was …

The AlpArray programme is a multinational, European consortium to advance our
understanding of orogenesis and its relationship to mantle dynamics, plate reorganizations …

A compilation of 290 zircon U–Pb ages of intrusive rocks indicates that the Gangdese
Batholith in southern Tibet was emplaced from c. 210 Ma to c. 10 Ma. Two intense magmatic …

Recent measurements of surface vertical displacements of the European Alps show a
correlation between vertical velocities and topographic features, with widespread uplift at …

特提斯是地球显生宙期间位于北方劳亚大陆和南方冈瓦纳大陆之间的巨型海洋,
它在新生代期间的闭合形成现今东西向展布的欧洲阿尔卑斯山, 土耳其-伊朗高原 …

A large data set of surface wave phase velocity measurements is compiled to study the
structures of the crust and upper mantle underneath the Alpine continental collision zone …

We present the first three‐dimensional (3D) anisotropic teleseismic P‐wave tomography
model of the upper mantle covering the entire Central Mediterranean. Compared to isotropic …

The idea that prominent geological phenomena observed in the crust and at the surface may
be caused by the detachment of subducting dense lithosphere has been anticipated by …

Mediterranean tectonics since the Lower Cretaceous has been characterized by a
multiphase subduction and collision history with temporally and spatially variable, small …

Abstract The European Alps are the site where classic geologic concepts such as nappe
theory, continental subduction and slab breakoff have been first proposed. However, the …
