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 …

The Zagros Mountains are the result of the Arabia/Eurasia collision initiated at~ 35Ma as the
rifted Arabian lithosphere was underthrusted beneath the Iranian plate due to its negative …

The characteristics of rock instability precursors and the principal stress direction are very
crucial for the prevention of geological disasters. This study investigated the qualitative …

Lithospheric deformation throughout Anatolia, a part of the Alpine–Himalayan orogenic belt,
is controlled mainly by collision-related tectonic escape of the Anatolian Plate and …

We use adjoint tomography to iteratively determine seismic models of the crust and upper
mantle beneath the European continent and the North Atlantic Ocean. Three-component …

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 …

We investigate mantle plumes and associated flow beneath the lithosphere by imaging the
three-dimensional S-velocity structure beneath Arabia and East Africa. This image shows …

Seismic tomography has been a vital tool in probing the Earth's internal structure and
enhancing our knowledge of dynamical processes in the Earth's crust and mantle. While …

We present a full-waveform tomographic model of the western Mediterranean crust and
mantle constructed from complete three-component recordings from permanent and …

Regional observations suggest that the Central Anatolian plateau (central Turkey) has risen
by> 1 km since the Tortonian (~ 8 Ma) while significant crustal shortening did not occur. This …
