A geodetic plate motion and Global Strain Rate Model
We present a new global model of plate motions and strain rates in plate boundary zones
constrained by horizontal geodetic velocities. This Global Strain Rate Model (GSRM v. 2.1) …

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 …

Relative sea-level rise scenario for 2100 along the coast of south eastern sicily (Italy) by InSAR data, satellite images and high-resolution topography
The global sea-level rise (SLR) projections for the next few decades are the basis for
developing flooding maps that depict the expected hazard scenarios. However, the spatially …

The Ionian and Alfeo–Etna fault zones: New segments of an evolving plate boundary in the central Mediterranean Sea?
Abstract The Calabrian Arc is a narrow subduction–rollback system resulting from
Africa/Eurasia plate convergence. While crustal shortening is taken up in the accretionary …

Tectonic expression of an active slab tear from high‐resolution seismic and bathymetric data offshore Sicily (Ionian Sea)
Subduction of a narrow slab of oceanic lithosphere beneath a tightly curved orogenic arc
requires the presence of at least one lithospheric scale tear fault. While the Calabrian …
