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 surface of the Earth is the ever-changing expression of the dynamic processes
occurring at depth and at or above its surface. However, our ability to “read” landscapes in …

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 new 3‐D shear velocity model of the western Mediterranean from the
Pyrenees, Spain, to the Atlas Mountains, Morocco, and the estimated crustal and …

Upper-mantle upwellings are often invoked as the cause of Cenozoic volcanism in the Ibero-
western Maghreb region. However, their nature, geometry and origin are unclear. This study …

Most of the structural studies of the intracontinental High Atlas belt of Morocco have dealt
with the central part of the belt, whose basement does not crop out. Here we study the Alpine …

The westernmost Mediterranean has developed into its present day tectonic configuration as
a result of complex interactions between late stage subduction of the Neo-Tethys Ocean …

Abstract The High Atlas intracontinental belt is an inverted rift formed along the Northwest
African Craton, between the Central Atlantic Ocean and the Africa-Eurasia plates' …

Independent models of P wave and S wave velocity anomalies in the mantle derived from
seismic tomography help to distinguish thermal signatures from those of partial melt …

The 3-D inverse modelling of a magnetic anomaly measured over the NW submarine edifice
of the volcanic island of Gran Canaria revealed a large, reversely-magnetized, elongated …
