Alps and Apennines developed along opposite subductions, which inverted the tethyan
passive continental margins located along the boundaries of Europe, Africa and the Adriatic …

Abstract The Gulf of Lion margin is one of the Tertiary extensional basins of the western
Mediterranean that opened during convergence of Africa and Europe. This Oligocene …

We present a geodynamic reconstruction of the Central–Western Mediterranean and
neighboring areas during the last 50Myr, including magmatological and tectonic …

This book makes the common techniques of paleomagnetism understandable to students of
geology and explains how paleomagnetism is used to map the movement of major portions …

The Miocene rotation of Sardinia (Western Mediterranean) remains poorly constrained
despite a wealth of paleomagnetic data, primarily due to poor chronostratigraphic control …

West-directed subduction zones show east-verging arcs of 1500–3000 km. They are usually
younger than 50 Ma and are characterized by a frontal accretionary wedge and a back-arc …

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 …

Paleomagnetic studies facilitate an understanding of the evolution of the Japan Arc in
Cenozoic times from the perspective of tectonic movement. The Japan Arc rifted from the …

The tectonic history of the Western Mediterranean region during the Oligocene and Early
Miocene is illustrated through a series of plate reconstructions, from chron C13n to chron …
