Rock-mechanics experiments, geodetic observations of postloading strain transients, and
micro-and macrostructural studies of exhumed ductile shear zones provide complementary …

Continental transform faults are dominantly highly localized strike-slip shear zones
hundreds of kilometers long that accumulate tens to hundreds of kilometers of displacement …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

Summary The European Plate has a 4.5 Gy long and complex tectonic history. This is
reflected in the present-day large-scale crustal structures. A new digital Moho depth map is …

At the time of the opening of the Tethys Ocean the northern edge of Gondwana was affected
by several rifting events. In this study, we used data from deep exploration wells, seismic …

We simulate earthquake cycles with rate-and-state fault friction and off-fault power-law
viscoelasticity for the classic 2D antiplane shear problem of a vertical, strike-slip plate …

We present new crust and lithosphere thickness maps of the African mainland based on
integrated modeling of elevation and geoid data and thermal analysis. The approach …

The origin of the Levantine Basin in the Southeastern Mediterranean Sea is related to the
opening of the Neo-Tethys. The nature of its crust has been debated for decades. Therefore …

This paper presents an updated summary of the history and shallow structure of the Dead
Sea transform (DST) and its plate tectonic context. The DST formed in the Early Miocene as …
