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 …

We present a map that correlates tectonic units between Alps and western Turkey accompanied by a text providing access to literature data, explaining the concepts used for …
The non-cylindrical character of the Variscan Belt is established via a description of its most salient geological characteristics and correlations among the main and relatively minor …

A new reconstruction of Alpine Tethys combines plate-kinematic modelling with a wealth of geological data and seismic tomography to shed light on its evolution, from sea-floor …
We present a geodynamic reconstruction of the Central–Western Mediterranean and neighboring areas during the last 50Myr, including magmatological and tectonic …
Since the first edition of this book published in 2005, there has been an immense amount of new and fascinating work on the history, ecology, and evolution of the Mediterranean flora …
The western Mediterranean recorded subduction rollback, slab segmentation and separation. Here we address the questions of what caused Oligocene rollback initiation, and …
The end of major orogenic episodes is marked by uplift and erosion, transcurrent to extensional tectonic regimes induced partly by gravitational collapse of the thickened crust …
Mediterranean-type ecosystems (MTEs) are located today in southwestern Australia, the Cape Region of South Africa, the Mediterranean Basin, California, and central Chile. These …
