Journal ArticleDOI
Mediterranean extension and the Africa‐Eurasia collision
Laurent Jolivet,Claudio Faccenna +1 more
TL;DR: A number of tectonic events occurred contemporaneously in the Mediterranean region and the Middle East 30-25 Myr ago as discussed by the authors, which are contemporaneous to or immediately followed a strong reduction of the northward absolute motion of Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Convergence history across Zagros (Iran): constraints from collisional and earlier deformation
TL;DR: In this paper, the main Zagros orogen is shown to be deeply rooted, possibly to Moho depths, and the suture zone effectively runs along the MZT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lateral slab deformation and the origin of the western Mediterranean arcs
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the evolution of the western Mediterranean subduction zone (WMSZ) during the last 35 Myr by combining new and previous geological data, new tomographic images of the Western Mediterranean mantle, and plate kinematics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zagros orogeny: a subduction-dominated process
Philippe Agard,Jafar Omrani,Laurent Jolivet,Hubert Whitechurch,Bruno Vrielynck,Wim Spakman,Patrick Monié,Bertrand Meyer,Rinus Wortel +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a synthetic view of the geodynamic evolution of the Zagros orogen within the frame of the Arabia-Eurasia collision, and provided lithospheric-scale reconstructions of the zagros Orogen from ~ 150 to 0 Ma across two SW-NE transects.
