P wave tomography of the mantle under the Alpine‐Mediterranean area

C Piromallo, A Morelli - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
We study the upper mantle P wave velocity structure below the Euro‐Mediterranean area,

Slab detachment beneath eastern Anatolia: A possible cause for the formation of the North Anatolian fault

C Faccenna, O Bellier, J Martinod, C Piromallo… - Earth and Planetary …, 2006 - Elsevier
In this paper, we discuss the possibility that the North Anatolian fault (NAF) results from the
