The Tell-Rif (Tell in Algeria and Tunisia; Rif in Morocco) is the orogenic system fringing to
the south the West Mediterranean basins. This system comprises three major tectonic …

Abstract The Cenozoic East African rift (EAR), Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL), and Atlas
Mountains formed on the slow‐moving African continent, which last experienced orogeny …

The prevailing idea for the geologic evolution of the western Mediterranean in the Cenozoic
is based on north dipping subduction near the gulf of Lyon undergoing vigorous rollback …

We explore the connections between crustal shortening, volcanism, and mantle dynamics in
the Atlas of Morocco. In response to compressional forces and strain localization, this …

We present a full-waveform tomographic model of the western Mediterranean crust and
mantle constructed from complete three-component recordings from permanent and …

No consensus exists on the tectonic evolution of the western Mediterranean since~ 35 Ma.
Three disparate tectonic evolution scenarios are identified, each portraying slab rollback as …

We map the lithospheric structure under the westernmost Mediterranean convergent setting
interpreting P-receiver functions obtained from a dense seismic network. No orogenic root …

Edge‐driven convection (EDC) forms in the upper mantle at locations of lithosphere
thickness gradients, eg, craton edges. In this study we show how the traditional style of EDC …

Mainland Portugal, on the southwestern edge of the European continent, is located directly
north of the boundary between the Eurasian and Nubian plates. It lies in a region of slow …

We present new crust and lithosphere thickness maps of the African mainland based on
integrated modeling of elevation and geoid data and thermal analysis. The approach …
