The Slab Puzzle of the Alpine-Mediterranean Region: Insights From a New, High-Resolution, Shear Wave Velocity Model of the Upper Mantle
Amr El-Sharkawy,Thomas Meier,Sergei Lebedev,Jan H. Behrmann,Mona Hamada,Luigia Cristiano,Christian Weidle,Daniel Köhn +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new shear wave velocity model of the Mediterranean upper mantle (MeRE2020), constrained by a very large set of over 200,000 broadband (8 − 350 s), interstation, Rayleigh wave, phase velocity curves, was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Alboran domain in the western Mediterranean evolution: the birth of a concept
TL;DR: In this paper, a new hypothesis for the evolution of the western Mediterranean was presented in which the Betic-Rif orogenic chain originates from rollback of an initially SE-dipping subduction of westernmost segments of the Ligurian-Tethys under the Africa margin.

From the North-Iberian Margin to the Alboran Basin: A lithosphere geo-transect across the Iberian Plate
Alberto Carballo,Manel Fernandez,Ivone Jimenez-Munt,Montserrat Torné,Jaume Vergés,Massimiliano Melchiorre,D. Pedreira,Juan Carlos Afonso,Daniel García-Castellanos,Jordi Diaz,Antonio Villaseñor,Javier A. Pulgar,Luis Quintana +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a ~1000km-long transect running from the North-Iberian Margin to the Alboran Basin (W-Mediterranean) is investigated.

Perturbing effects of sub-lithospheric mass anomalies in GOCE gravity gradient and other gravity data modelling: Application to the Atlantic-Mediterranean transition zone
Javier Fullea,Juan Rodríguez-González,Juan Rodríguez-González,María Charco,Zdenek Martinec,Ana M. Negredo,Ana M. Negredo,Antonio Villaseñor +7 more
TL;DR: The perturbing effects of deep, sub-lithospheric density anomalies in GOCE gravity gradients and other land-based geophysical data are assessed and its impact in lithospheric-scale geophysical-petrological modeling within a thermodynamically consistent framework analyzed.

Evolution of the South-Iberian paleomargin: From hyperextension to continental subduction
Antonio Pedrera,Ana Ruiz-Constán,Jesús García-Senz,Antonio Azor,Carlos Marín-Lechado,Conxi Ayala,José Alberto Díaz de Neira,Luis Roberto Rodríguez-Fernández +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, three crustal-scale sequentially restored cross-sections along the Central External Betic Cordillera enable us to pinpoint the role of extreme crustal thinning, tectonic inheritance and salt tectonics during the evolution of the South-Iberian paleomargin from Mesozoic rifting to Cenozoic continental subduction.

Constraints on seismic velocities in the Earth from traveltimes
TL;DR: In this article, a new empirical traveltime curves for the major seismic phases have been derived from the catalogues of the International Seismological Centre by relocating events by using P readings, depth phases and the iasp91 traveltimes, and then re-associating phase picks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extension in the Tyrrhenian Sea and Shortening in the Apennines as Result of Arc Migration Driven by Sinking of the Lithosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, an arc migration model was proposed to explain the dynamic relationship between extension in the Tyrrhenian basin and compression in the Apennines, and the estimated contemporaneous (post-middle Miocene) amounts of extension and shortening in the apennines appear to be very similar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinematics of the western Mediterranean
TL;DR: In this article, a preliminary model for the Cenozoic kinematic evolution of the western Mediterranean oceanic basins and their peripheral orogens is presented, which integrates the motion of Africa relative to Europe based upon a new study of Atlantic fracture zones using SEASAT data and the Lamont-Doherty magnetic anomaly database.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tomographic imaging of P and S wave velocity structure beneath northeastern Japan
TL;DR: In this article, an efficient three dimensional ray tracing algorithm which iteratively uses the pseudobending technique and Snell's law was developed to solve a large and sparse system of observation equations.

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.
