I combine recently published GPS results to derive a geodetic horizontal velocity field
consistent at the scale of the Mediterranean and the surrounding Alpine belts. The velocity …

Continents, especially their Archean cores, are underlain by thick thermal boundary layers
that have been largely isolated from the convecting mantle over billion-year timescales, far …

A number of tectonic events occurred contemporaneously in the Mediterranean region and
the Middle East 30–25 Myr ago. These events are contemporaneous to or immediately …

The western Mediterranean subduction zone (WMSZ) extends from the northern Apennine
to southern Spain and turns around forming the narrow and tight Calabrian and Gibraltar …

We use continuously recording GPS (CGPS) and survey-mode GPS (SGPS) observations to
determine Euler vectors for relative motion of the African (Nubian), Arabian and Eurasian …

We study the upper mantle P wave velocity structure below the Euro‐Mediterranean area,
down to 1000 km depth, by seismic travel time tomography. We invert summary residuals …

In recent years, the origin of the Betic‐Rif orocline has been the subject of considerable
debate. Much of this debate has focused on mechanisms required to generate rapid late …

We present a tectonic synthesis and an animation of the tectonics of the western
Mediterranean since the Oligocene. This work is based on data derived from different …

Summary The Western Mediterranean displays a complex pattern of crustal deformation
distributed along tectonically active belts developed in the framework of slow oblique plate …

Earth as an Evolving Planetary System, Fourth Edition discusses key topics dealing with the
evolution and interaction through time of Earth's crust, mantle, core, atmosphere …
