Present-day kinematics of the Mediterranean: A comprehensive overview of GPS results

JM Nocquet - Tectonophysics, 2012 - Elsevier
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 …

Late Cenozoic increase in accumulation rates of terrestrial sediment: How might climate change have affected erosion rates?

P Molnar - Annu. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci., 2004 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Accumulation rates of terrestrial sediment have increased in the past few million
years both on and adjacent to continents, although not everywhere. Apparently, erosion has …

A new view of Italian seismicity using 20 years of instrumental recordings

C Chiarabba, L Jovane, R DiStefano - Tectonophysics, 2005 - Elsevier
In this paper, we show the seismicity of the past 20 years that occurred in Italy and
surrounding regions. Hypocentral locations have been obtained by using P-and S-wave …

Upper mantle structure beneath the Alpine orogen from high‐resolution teleseismic tomography

R Lippitsch, E Kissling, J Ansorge - Journal of Geophysical …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
To understand the evolution of the Alpine orogen, knowledge of the actual structure of the
lithosphere‐asthenosphere system is important. We perform high‐resolution teleseismic …

Active tectonics of the Adriatic region from GPS and earthquake slip vectors

N D'agostino, A Avallone, D Cheloni… - Journal of …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
To investigate the kinematics of the Adriatic region, we integrate continuous and episodic
GPS measurements with Mw> 4.5 earthquake slip vectors selected from the Regional …

[PDF][PDF] Subduction tectonics and exhumation of high-pressure metamorphic rocks in the Mediterranean orogens

L Jolivet, C Faccenna, B Goffe, E Burov… - American Journal of …, 2003 - academia.edu
Using the peri-Mediterranean blueschist belts as a case study we discuss the mechanisms
of syn-orogenic exhumation of high-pressure (HP) and ultra-highpressure (UHP) rocks. The …

Geodetic measurements of crustal deformation in the Western Mediterranean and Europe

JM Nocquet, E Calais - Pure and applied geophysics, 2004 - Springer
Geodetic measurements of crustal deformation over large areas deforming at slow rates (< 5
mm/yr over more than 1000 km), such as the Western Mediterranean and Western Europe …

Present-day uplift of the European Alps: Evaluating mechanisms and models of their relative contributions

P Sternai, C Sue, L Husson, E Serpelloni… - Earth-Science …, 2019 - Elsevier
Recent measurements of surface vertical displacements of the European Alps show a
correlation between vertical velocities and topographic features, with widespread uplift at …

Crustal velocity and strain-rate fields in Italy and surrounding regions: new results from the analysis of permanent and non-permanent GPS networks
