The AlpArray programme is a multinational, European consortium to advance our understanding of orogenesis and its relationship to mantle dynamics, plate reorganizations …
Alps and Apennines developed along opposite subductions, which inverted the tethyan passive continental margins located along the boundaries of Europe, Africa and the Adriatic …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
We compare a global compilation of shear-wave splitting measurements with azimuthal seismic anisotropy parameters inferred from surface-wave tomography. The currently …
The mechanisms driving plate motion and the Earth's geodynamics are still not entirely clarified. Lithospheric volumes recycled at subduction zones or emerging at rift zones testify …
