Tertiary-Quaternary subduction processes and related magmatism in the Alpine-Mediterranean region [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
During Tertiary to Quaternary times, convergence between Eurasia and Africa resulted in a variety of collisional orogens and different styles of subduction in the Alpine-Mediterranean region.

Glacioeustatic control on the origin and cessation of the Messinian salinity crisis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The desiccation of the Mediterranean during the Messinian salinity crisis (MSC) is one of the most intriguing geological events of recent Earth history.

Focal Mechanisms for Subcrustal Earthquakes Beneath the Gibraltar Arc

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
AbstractIntermediate deep earthquakes are usually associated with active subduction, and show mostly dip‐slip faulting mechanisms aligned with the downgoing oceanic lithosphere. Forty‐two new focal mechanisms from 50‐ to 100‐km depth beneath the Gibraltar Arc and Alboran Sea show different characteristics.

Some geophysical constraints to dynamic processes in the Southwestern Mediterranean

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1996
The total tectonic subsidence, thermal state and seismotectonic regime have been analysed to better constrain the dynamic processes which originated the basins of the Southwestern Mediterranean.

Mediterranean Sea response to climate change in an ensemble of twenty first century scenarios [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Mediterranean climate is expected to become warmer and drier during the twenty-first century. Mediterranean Sea response to climate change could be modulated by the choice of the socio-economic scenario as well as the choice of the boundary ...

Finite-frequency Rayleigh wave tomography of the western Mediterranean: Mapping its lithospheric structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We present a 3-D shear wave velocity model for the crust and upper mantle of the western Mediterranean from Rayleigh wave tomography. We analyzed the fundamental mode in the 20¿167 s period band (6.0¿50.0 mHz) from earthquakes recorded by a number of ...

Constraints on the frontal crustal structure of a continental collision from an integrated geophysical research: The central‐western Betic Cordillera (SW Spain)

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2012
Mélange rocks outcrop widely in the central and western frontal sectors of the Betic Cordillera, as in many other collisional orogens where they form part of the accretionary wedges.

Tectonic evolution of the Sicilian Maghrebian Chain inferred from stratigraphic and petrographic evidences of Lower Cretaceous and Oligocene flysch

open access: yesGeologica Carpathica, 2014
The occurrence of a Lower Cretaceous flysch group, cropping out from the Gibraltar Arc to the Balkans with a very similar structural setting and sedimentary provenance always linked to the dismantling of internal areas, suggests the existence of only one

Stratigraphy and paleoceanography of a topography-controlled contourite drift in the Pen Duick area, southern Gulf of Cadiz [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The northern part of the Gulf of Cádiz has and still is receiving a lot of attention from the scientific community due to (amongst others) the recent IODP Expedition 339.
