During the Cenozoic widespread anorogenic magmatism, unrelated to recent supra-
subduction zone modification of its mantle source, developed within the Mediterranean and …

The central-western Mediterranean area is a key region for understanding the complex
interaction between igneous activity and tectonics. In this review, the specific geochemical …

Slab edges are a relatively common feature in plate tectonics. Two prominent examples are
the northern end of the Tonga subduction zone and the southern end of the New Hebrides …

Italian Plio-Quaternary magmatism exhibits a very wide petrological, geochemical and
radiogenic-isotope variability, which makes magma genesis and geodynamic significance …

Tectonic activity in convergent plate boundaries commonly involves backward migration
(rollback) of narrow subducting slabs and segmentation of subduction zones through slab …

We present numerical subduction models to investigate overriding plate deformation at
subduction zones. All models show forearc shortening, resulting predominantly from shear …

Calabria represents an ideal site to analyze the topography of a subduction zone as it is
located on top of a narrow active Wadati‐Benioff zone and shows evidence of rapid uplift …

The Cenozoic geological evolution of the Italian area is characterized by the formation of two
major mountain chains-the Alps to the north and the Apennines throughout the peninsula …

Information on the physical and chemical properties of the lithosphere–asthenosphere
system (LAS) can be obtained by geophysical investigation and by studies of petrology …

Combining tectonics, with seismological and geochemical data, we reconstruct the
deformation history of the presently narrow Calabrian slab and the path of mantle circulation …
