Abstract The North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) is a key component of modern climate systems, redistributing heat from equatorial to polar regions and contributing to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. However, the timing of its emergence and the mechanisms driving its formation remain uncertain.

Abstract Studies of tectonic mélanges provide constraints on the evolution of active plate margins. However, resolving the pressure‐temperature trajectories of these deformed rocks, which are exhumed from low‐temperature conditions, can be challenging.

New Kinematic Model of the Early Opening of the Equatorial Atlantic Realm
Abstract The opening of the Equatorial Atlantic Ocean constitutes the final stage of Gondwana's breakup, leading to the separation of the African and South American continents. The early spreading has been debated due to the absence of magnetic anomalies related to the Early Cretaceous opening at low latitude, and an incomplete fracture zone record ...

The Role of Salt Tectonics in the 2021 Central Adriatic Seismic Sequence
Abstract On 27 March 2021 a 3‐months lasting seismic sequence struck the Central Adriatic Basin that is part of the Adria plate, a relatively undeformed plate since recent times. Analyzing the waveform data acquired by the Italian and Croatian seismic networks, we computed the location parameters of 160 earthquakes and the focal mechanisms of the Mw 5 ...

Abstract Post‐collisional mafic rocks not only record geodynamic processes at the end of the orogenic cycle but also retain various clues regarding preceding interactions between subducted slabs and mantle wedges. However, the latter and related indicators have often been overlooked; in particular, how the continental crust interacts with the mantle in
