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 …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

This hands-on introduction to numerical geodynamic modelling provides a solid grounding
in the necessary mathematical theory and techniques, including continuum mechanics and …

Conditions and dynamics of subduction–collision and subsequent 3-D slab break-off and
slab tear propagation are quantified, for the first time, using fully dynamic numerical models …

Abstract We use 2.5 to 14 years long position time series from> 800 continuous Global
Positioning System (GPS) stations to study vertical deformation rates in the Euro …

We conducted a set of numerical experiments to study the evolution of a subduction–
collision system subject to spontaneous slab breakoff. The study takes into account complex …

During the last four decades, subduction remained one of the most challenging and
captivating geodynamic processes investigated with numerical techniques. While significant …

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 …

This paper aims at summarizing the current extent and architecture of the former Mesozoic
passive margin of North Africa from North Algeria in the west up to the Ionian‐Calabrian arc …

New geodetic data combined with seismicity, geologic and geochemical information
document a major tectonic reorganization in the central Mediterranean around 0.8–0.5 Ma …
