Anatomy of the Campi Flegrei caldera using enhanced seismic tomography models

M Calò, A Tramelli - Scientific reports, 2018 - nature.com
Abstract Campi Flegrei caldera (Southern Italy) is a densely inhabited area and suffered
several unrest episodes in the last centuries. The dynamic of the caldera is highly debated …

Volcanism in slab tear faults is larger than in island-arcs and back-arcs

L Cocchi, S Passaro, FC Tontini, G Ventura - Nature communications, 2017 - nature.com
Subduction-transform edge propagators are lithospheric tears bounding slabs and back-arc
basins. The volcanism at these edges is enigmatic because it is lacking comprehensive …

Adjoint tomography of the Italian lithosphere

F Magnoni, E Casarotti, D Komatitsch… - … Earth & Environment, 2022 - nature.com
The evolution and state of geological structure at Earth's surface is best understood with an
accurate characterization of the subsurface. Here we present seismic tomographic images of …

Tears, windows, and signature of transform margins on slabs. Images of the Cocos plate fragmentation beneath the Tehuantepec isthmus (Mexico) using Enhanced …

M Calò - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2021 - Elsevier
In southern Mexico, tears of the Cocos plate, slab windows, and signatures of the transform
margins have been invoked to justify the peculiar geometry of the subducting plate and the …

Based on multidisciplinary data, including seismological and geodetic observations, as well
as seismic reflection profiles and gravity maps, we analysed the pattern of crustal …

Shear‐Velocity Structure and Dynamics Beneath the Sicily Channel and Surrounding Regions of the Central Mediterranean Inferred From Seismic Surface Waves

MR Agius, F Magrini, G Diaferia… - Geochemistry …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
The evolution of the Sicily Channel Rift Zone (SCRZ) is thought to accommodate the
regional tectonic stresses of the Calabrian subduction system. Much of the observations we …

Progressive migration of slab break-off along the southern Tyrrhenian plate boundary: Constraints for the present day kinematics

C Chiarabba, M Palano - Journal of Geodynamics, 2017 - Elsevier
The Ionian subduction in the central Mediterranean, just 200 km wide, is one of the
narrowest in the world. Its evolution has involved a progressive disruption of the subducting …

Surface imprint of toroidal flow at retreating slab edges: The first geodetic evidence in the Calabrian subduction system

M Palano, C Piromallo… - Geophysical Research …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Dense GPS observations can help Earth scientists to capture the surface imprint of mantle
toroidal flow at slab edges. We document this process in the Calabrian subduction system …
