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

Subduction-transition zone interaction: A review
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 …
