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 …

Much progress has been made over the past several decades in delineating the structure of
subducting slabs, but several key aspects of their dynamics remain poorly constrained …

In this paper we explore the geology of the Aegean region in the Miocene to identify the
geological signature of a first-order slab tear observed in all tomographic models. From 15 to …

Southeast Asia is surrounded by subduction zones resulting from the interactions of several
lithospheric plates. Its evolution has been also influenced by active tectonics due to the Indo …

The geodynamic significance of continental volcanoes located far from the plate boundaries
remains highly controversial as exemplified by contrasting models that favor either a deep …

The relationship between subduction dynamics and crustal deformation in the
Mediterranean region has been recently studied using three-dimensional (3D) models. Such …

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 …

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 …

Inferring the circulation of the mantle around subducting plates from surface measurements
of shear wave splitting patterns remains to date elusive. To assist the interpretation of the …

A high-resolution model of P-wave anisotropic tomography beneath Mainland China and
surrounding regions is determined using a large number of arrival-time data recorded by the …
