The principal paleogeographic characteristics of North and Central Africa during the
Paleozoic were the permanency of large exposed lands over central Africa, surrounded by …

The composition and stratigraphic relations of clastic strata in diverse sedimentary basins of
the circum-Mediterranean region reflect a complete record of provenance relations since …

The Rif Belt belongs to a much larger orogen, ie the Betic-Rif-Tell orogen, which itself is part
of the still larger Mediterranean Alpine belts (Fig. 5.1; see also Chap. 1.1, Fig. 1.2). The Rif …

We use velocities from 65 continuous stations and 31 survey-mode GPS sites as well as
kinematic modeling to investigate present day deformation along the Africa–Iberia plate …

Two main groups of geological models presented over the last four decades on the
palaeogeographic, paleotectonic and geodynamic eo-Alpine and neo-Alpine evolution of …

We present a synthesis of the active tectonics of the northern Atlas Mountains, and suggest a
kinematic model of transpression and block rotation that illustrates the mechanics of this …

Slab retreat, slab tearing and interactions of slabs are first-order drivers of the deformation of
the overriding lithosphere. An independent description of the tectonic evolution of the back …

The evolution of the oceanic Maghrebian Flysch Basin and its continuation in the Southern
Apennines was studied by reconstructing mainly representative stratigraphic successions. In …

The internal= northern zones of the Maghrebide belt includes allochthonous massifs that
define, together with those from the Betics, Sicily and Calabria, a disrupted …

Surface deformation in Morocco, derived from five years of global positioning system (GPS)
survey observations of a 22-station network, four continuously recording GPS (CGPS) …
