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 …

We present a review of the analogue modelling method, which has been used for 200 years,
and continues to be used, to investigate geological phenomena and geodynamic processes …

Abstract The Middle East region represents a key site within the Tethyan domain where
continental break-up, collision, backarc extension and escape tectonics are kinematically …

Reconfigurations of magmatic arcs through time have been recognized since pioneering
works, describing inland and trenchward arc migrations or magmatic shut-off lasting for …

Subduction initiation at passive margins plays a central role in the plate tectonics theory.
However, the process by which a passive margin becomes active is not well understood. In …

We analyzed the structure and evolution of the external Calabrian Arc (CA) subduction
complex through an integrated geophysical approach involving multichannel and single …

Based on global earthquake catalogs, the hypocenters, nodal planes, and seismic moments
of worldwide subduction plate interface earthquakes were extracted for the period between …

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 …

Here we describe the horizontal velocities of continuous GPS stations in the Calabrian Arc
(CA) and surrounding regions. The appropriate reference frame to evaluate the crustal …

The elevation of an orogenic belt is commonly related to crustal/lithosphere thickening.
Here, we discuss the Apennines as an example to show that topography at a plate margin …
