[HTML][HTML] Atlas of the underworld: Slab remnants in the mantle, their sinking history, and a new outlook on lower mantle viscosity
Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

Intracontinental deformation of the Tianshan Orogen in response to India-Asia collision
How the continental lithosphere deforms far away from plate boundaries has been long
debated. The Tianshan is a type-example of ongoing lithospheric deformation in an …

Building the Zagros collisional orogen: timing, strain distribution and the dynamics of Arabia/Eurasia plate convergence
The Zagros Mountains are the result of the Arabia/Eurasia collision initiated at~ 35Ma as the
rifted Arabian lithosphere was underthrusted beneath the Iranian plate due to its negative …

The Neotethyan Sanandaj‐Sirjan zone of Iran as an archetype for passive margin‐arc transitions
Abstract The Sanandaj‐Sirjan zone of Iran is a northwest trending orogenic belt immediately
north of the Zagros suture, which represents the former position of the Neotethys Ocean. The …

Retrodeforming the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone: Age of collision versus magnitude of continental subduction
Abstract The Arabia-Eurasia collision has been linked to global cooling, the slowing of
