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 …

Alps vs. Apennines: The paradigm of a tectonically asymmetric Earth
E Carminati, C Doglioni - Earth-Science Reviews, 2012 - Elsevier
Alps and Apennines developed along opposite subductions, which inverted the tethyan
passive continental margins located along the boundaries of Europe, Africa and the Adriatic …

A new view of Italian seismicity using 20 years of instrumental recordings
In this paper, we show the seismicity of the past 20 years that occurred in Italy and
surrounding regions. Hypocentral locations have been obtained by using P-and S-wave …

Subduction kinematics and dynamic constraints
The kinematics of subduction zones shows a variety of settings that can provide clues for
dynamic understandings. Two reference frames are used here to describe the simple 2D …

Mantle convection in the Middle East: Reconciling Afar upwelling, Arabia indentation and Aegean trench rollback
Abstract The Middle East region represents a key site within the Tethyan domain where
continental break-up, collision, backarc extension and escape tectonics are kinematically …

From mantle to crust: Stretching the Mediterranean
The origin of forces driving the deformation of the continental crust near subduction zones
and especially in backarc regions is debated. This work is based on a compilation of SKS …

The southern Tyrrhenian subduction zone: deep geometry, magmatism and Plio-Pleistocene evolution
We report on a high-resolution Vp, Vp/Vs and Qp model of the southern Tyrrhenian
subduction zone, obtained by the inversion of P-and S-wave arrival times and t∗ values from …

Identifying global seismic anisotropy patterns by correlating shear-wave splitting and surface-wave data
We compare a global compilation of shear-wave splitting measurements with azimuthal
seismic anisotropy parameters inferred from surface-wave tomography. The currently …

Polarized plate tectonics
C Doglioni, G Panza - Advances in geophysics, 2015 - Elsevier
The mechanisms driving plate motion and the Earth's geodynamics are still not entirely
