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 western Mediterranean recorded subduction rollback, slab segmentation and separation. Here we address the questions of what caused Oligocene rollback initiation, and …
An orocline is a thrust belt or orogen that is curved in map-view due to it having been bent or buckled about a vertical axis of rotation. Two distinct types of oroclines are recognized …

Crustal earthquake focal mechanisms are investigated in the Calabrian Arc region, where the western Mediterranean subduction process is close to ending and the residual Ionian …
Abstract The Calabrian Arc is a one-of-a-kind subduction zone, featuring one of the shortest slab segments (< 150 km), one of the thickest accretionary wedges, and one of the oldest …
The rollback of a segmented slab of oceanic lithosphere is typically accompanied by vertical lithospheric tear fault (s) along the lateral slab edge (s) and by strike slip movement in the …
We use Global Positioning System (GPS) velocities and dislocation modeling to investigate the rate and nature of interseismic strain accumulation in the area affected by the 1908 Mw …
