The Mediterranean offers a unique opportunity to study the driving forces of tectonic
deformation within a complex mobile belt. Lithospheric dynamics are affected by slab …

The origin of tsunamis in the Mediterranean region and its connected seas, including the
Marmara Sea, the Black Sea and the SW Iberian Margin in the NE Atlantic Ocean, is …

Tsunami warning centres face the challenging task of rapidly forecasting tsunami threat
immediately after an earthquake, when there is high uncertainty due to data deficiency. Here …

Coseismic coastal deformation is often used to understand slip on offshore faults in large
earthquakes but in the 2016 MW 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake multiple faults ruptured across …

Abstract The Middle East region represents a key site within the Tethyan domain where
continental break-up, collision, backarc extension and escape tectonics are kinematically …

The Rif Belt belongs to a much larger orogen, ie the Betic-Rif-Tell orogen, which itself is part
of the still larger Mediterranean Alpine belts (Fig. 5.1; see also Chap. 1.1, Fig. 1.2). The Rif …

A unified catalogue containing 290 tsunamis generated in the European and Mediterranean
seas since 6150 BC to current days is presented. It is the result of a systematic and detailed …

In the western Mediterranean, following the intervening continent-continent collision, the
subduction of the Tethyan ocean has progressively come to an end or almost in large …

We present a synthesis of the active tectonics of the northern Atlas Mountains, and suggest a
kinematic model of transpression and block rotation that illustrates the mechanics of this …

The Mediterranean basin is an important area of the Earth for studying the interplay between
geodynamic processes and landscape evolution affected by tectonic, glacio-hydro-isostatic …
