[HTML][HTML] Orogenic architecture of the Mediterranean region and kinematic reconstruction of its tectonic evolution since the Triassic
The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

[HTML][HTML] Atlas of the underworld: Slab remnants in the mantle, their sinking history, and a new outlook on lower mantle viscosity
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 …

Mantle dynamics in the Mediterranean
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 …

Mediterranean extension and the Africa‐Eurasia collision
L Jolivet, C Faccenna - Tectonics, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
A number of tectonic events occurred contemporaneously in the Mediterranean region and

Origin and consequences of western Mediterranean subduction, rollback, and slab segmentation
The western Mediterranean recorded subduction rollback, slab segmentation and
separation. Here we address the questions of what caused Oligocene rollback initiation, and …

Lateral slab deformation and the origin of the western Mediterranean arcs
The western Mediterranean subduction zone (WMSZ) extends from the northern Apennine
to southern Spain and turns around forming the narrow and tight Calabrian and Gibraltar …
