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 …

Folds are spectacular geological structures that are seen in layered rock on many different
scales. To mark 30 years of the Journal of Structural Geology, we review the information that …

Abstract We use 2.5 to 14 years long position time series from> 800 continuous Global
Positioning System (GPS) stations to study vertical deformation rates in the Euro …

The Qaidam basin is the largest topographic depression inside the Tibetan plateau.
Because of its central position, understanding the tectonic origin of the Qaidam basin has …

The missing link in the plate boundary between Eurasia and Africa in the central Atlantic is
presented and discussed. A set of almost linear and sub parallel dextral strike–slip faults, the …

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 Iberian Peninsula and the Maghreb experience moderate earthquake activity and
oblique,∼ NW–SE convergence between Africa and Eurasia at a rate of∼ 5 mm/yr. Coeval …

Three‐dimensional modeling that integrates fluvial sediment transport, crustal‐scale tectonic
deformation, and lithospheric flexural subsidence is carried out to simulate the landscape …

Lithospheric folding is an important mode of basin formation in compressional intraplate
settings. Basins formed by lithospheric folding are characterized by distinct features in …

The Portuguese mainland, located in western Iberia, represents a key area for
understanding the evolution of the European Atlantic margin during the Cenozoic and the …
