The composition and stratigraphic relations of clastic strata in diverse sedimentary basins of
the circum-Mediterranean region reflect a complete record of provenance relations since …

The changing nature of detrital signatures in clastic wedges of the Circum-Mediterranean
orogenic systems reflect the provenance relations from different source rocks of evolving …

Microtectonics deals with the interpretation of microstructures, small-scale deformation
structures in rocks that yield abundant information on the history and type of deformation and …

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

This paper presents quantitative data on strain, deformation temperatures and vorticity of
flow at the top of the Greater Himalayan Slab. The data were collected from the Tibetan side …

Deep-seated metamorphic rocks are commonly found in the interior of many divergent and
convergent orogens. Plate tectonics can account for high-pressure metamorphism by …

A SW–NE-oriented structural crustal section of northern Calabria (Southern Italy) extending
from back-arc (SW 'internal') up to foreland (NE.'external') areas illustrates the tectonic …

Metamorphic belts in the internal parts of mountain belts have invariably undergone regional
penetrative deformation. Such deformation may form as the result of bulk simple shear …

Quantitative vorticity analyses in naturally deformed rocks are essential for studying the
kinematics of flow in shear zones and can be performed using a range of methods, which …
