The Central-Western Mediterranean: Anomalous igneous activity in an anomalous collisional tectonic setting
TL;DR: In this paper, the specific geochemical character of several subduction-related Cenozoic igneous provinces are described with a view to identifying the processes responsible for the modifications of their sources.

Evidence of large scale deformation patterns from GPS data in the Italian subduction boundary
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the velocity field in Italy derived from over 300 continuous GPS stations operated in the 1998-2009 time span, which provides a valuable source of data to study the ongoing deformation processes in the central Mediterranean.

P‐ and S‐velocity anomalies in the upper mantle beneath Europe from tomographic inversion of ISC data
TL;DR: In this paper, a tomographic model for P-and S-velocity anomalies is presented, which is constrained by inversion of data from the International Seismological Center (ISC) catalogue.

A plate tectonic model for the Paleozoic and Mesozoic constrained by dynamic plate boundaries and restored synthetic oceanic isochrons
TL;DR: In this article, a plate tectonic model for the Paleozoic and Mesozoic (Ordovician to Cretaceous) integrating dynamic plate boundaries, plate buoyancy, ocean spreading rates and major Tectonic and magmatic events was developed.

Experimentally based water budgets for dehydrating slabs and consequences for arc magma generation
Max W. Schmidt,Stefano Poli +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, phase diagrams of hydrous mid-ocean ridge (MOR) basalts to 330 km depth and hydrous peridotites to 250 km depth are compiled for conditions characteristic for subduction zones.

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.

TL;DR: Seismic tomography models of the three-dimensional upper mantle velocity structure of the Mediterranean-Carpathian region provide a better understanding of the lithospheric processes governing its geodynamical evolution.
