Short-and long-term processes at or close to the subduction plate interface (eg, mineral
transformations, fluid release, seismicity and more generally deformation) might be more …

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 …

Deep-seated slow slip and tremor (SST), including slow slip events, episodic tremor and
slip, and low-frequency earthquakes, occur downdip of the seismogenic zone of numerous …

We review the geodynamic evolution of the Aegean–Anatolia region and discuss strain
localisation there over geological times. From Late Eocene to Present, crustal deformation in …

The western Mediterranean recorded subduction rollback, slab segmentation and
separation. Here we address the questions of what caused Oligocene rollback initiation, and …

High-pressure low-temperature (HP–LT) metamorphic rocks provide invaluable constraints
on the evolution of convergent zones. Based on a worldwide compilation of key information …

The architecture of sedimentary basins reflects the relationship between accommodation
space and sediment supply, their rates and localization being variable during basin …

The Alps are amongst the best subduction archives in the world, with abundant blueschists
and eclogites preserving fragments of mantle, gabbros, thinned continental margin and …

Assessing the size of a former ocean of which only remnants are found in mountain belts is
challenging but crucial to understanding subduction and exhumation processes. Here we …

Great progress has been made in the last twenty years in understanding the unification of
the North China Craton. According to a prevailing model it developed by amalgamation of …
