Tomography from 26 years of seismicity revealing that the spatial extent of the Yellowstone crustal magma reservoir extends well beyond the Yellowstone caldera
The Yellowstone volcanic field has experienced three of Earth's most explosive volcanic
eruptions in the last 2.1 Ma. The most recent eruption occurred 0.64 Ma forming the 60 km …

High-resolution surface wave tomography of the European crust and uppermost mantle from ambient seismic noise
Taking advantage of the large number of seismic stations installed in Europe, in particular in
the greater Alpine region with the AlpArray experiment, we derive a new high-resolution 3-D …

Continuity of the Alpine slab unraveled by high‐resolution P wave tomography
The question of lateral and/or vertical continuity of subducted slabs in active orogens is a hot
topic partly due to poorly resolved tomographic data. The complex slab structure beneath …

Combining controlled-source seismology and receiver function information to derive 3-D Moho topography for Italy
The accurate definition of 3-D crustal structures and, in primis, the Moho depth, are the most
important requirement for seismological, geophysical and geodynamic modelling in complex …

The deep structure of the Alps based on the CIFALPS seismic experiment: A synthesis
Abstract The European Alps are the site where classic geologic concepts such as nappe
theory, continental subduction and slab breakoff have been first proposed. However, the …
