Mantle dynamics in the Mediterranean
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 …

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 …

A geodetic plate motion and Global Strain Rate Model
We present a new global model of plate motions and strain rates in plate boundary zones
constrained by horizontal geodetic velocities. This Global Strain Rate Model (GSRM v. 2.1) …

Vertical GPS ground motion rates in the Euro‐Mediterranean region: New evidence of velocity gradients at different spatial scales along the Nubia‐Eurasia plate …
Abstract We use 2.5 to 14 years long position time series from> 800 continuous Global
Positioning System (GPS) stations to study vertical deformation rates in the Euro …

Mantle convection in the Middle East: Reconciling Afar upwelling, Arabia indentation and Aegean trench rollback
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 …

[HTML][HTML] A process-based approach to understanding and managing triggered seismicity
There is growing concern about seismicity triggered by human activities, whereby small
increases in stress bring tectonically loaded faults to failure. Examples of such activities …

GPS velocity and strain fields in Sicily and southern Calabria, Italy: Updated geodetic constraints on tectonic block interaction in the central Mediterranean
We present an improved rendition of the geodetic velocity and strain fields in Sicily and
southern Calabria obtained through the analysis of 18 years of GPS observations from …

The Ionian and Alfeo–Etna fault zones: New segments of an evolving plate boundary in the central Mediterranean Sea?
Abstract The Calabrian Arc is a narrow subduction–rollback system resulting from
Africa/Eurasia plate convergence. While crustal shortening is taken up in the accretionary …

Deep CO2 release and the carbon budget of the central Apennines modulated by geodynamics
Recent studies increasingly recognize the importance of critical-zone weathering during
mountain building for long-term CO2 drawdown and release. However, the focus on near …

Tectonic expression of an active slab tear from high‐resolution seismic and bathymetric data offshore Sicily (Ionian Sea)
Subduction of a narrow slab of oceanic lithosphere beneath a tightly curved orogenic arc
requires the presence of at least one lithospheric scale tear fault. While the Calabrian …
