[HTML][HTML] Atlas of the underworld: Slab remnants in the mantle, their sinking history, and a new outlook on lower mantle viscosity

DG Van der Meer, DJJ Van Hinsbergen, W Spakman - Tectonophysics, 2018 - Elsevier
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 …

Mantle structure and tectonic history of SE Asia

R Hall, W Spakman - Tectonophysics, 2015 - Elsevier
Seismic travel-time tomography of the mantle under SE Asia reveals patterns of subduction-
related seismic P-wave velocity anomalies that are of great value in helping to understand …

Mantle dynamics in the Mediterranean

C Faccenna, TW Becker, L Auer, A Billi… - Reviews of …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Reconciling plate-tectonic reconstructions of Alpine Tethys with the geological–geophysical record of spreading and subduction in the Alps

MR Handy, SM Schmid, R Bousquet, E Kissling… - Earth-Science …, 2010 - Elsevier
A new reconstruction of Alpine Tethys combines plate-kinematic modelling with a wealth of
geological data and seismic tomography to shed light on its evolution, from sea-floor …

Aegean tectonics: Strain localisation, slab tearing and trench retreat

L Jolivet, C Faccenna, B Huet, L Labrousse… - Tectonophysics, 2013 - Elsevier
We review the geodynamic evolution of the Aegean–Anatolia region and discuss strain
localisation there over geological times. From Late Eocene to Present, crustal deformation in …

Neotectonics of Turkey–a synthesis

E Bozkurt - Geodinamica acta, 2001 - Taylor & Francis
Turkey forms one of the most actively deforming regions in the world and has a long history
of devastating earthquakes. The belter understanding of its neotectonic features and active …

Subduction and slab detachment in the Mediterranean-Carpathian region

MJR Wortel, W Spakman - Science, 2000 - science.org
Seismic tomography models of the three-dimensional upper mantle velocity structure of the
Mediterranean-Carpathian region provide a better understanding of the lithospheric …

Subduction-transition zone interaction: A review

S Goes, R Agrusta, J van Hunen, F Garel - Geosphere, 2017 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
As subducting plates reach the base of the upper mantle, some appear to flatten and
stagnate, while others seemingly go through unimpeded. This variable resistance to slab …

Mediterranean extension and the Africa‐Eurasia collision

L Jolivet, C Faccenna - Tectonics, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
A number of tectonic events occurred contemporaneously in the Mediterranean region and
the Middle East 30–25 Myr ago. These events are contemporaneous to or immediately …
