Seismic tomography models of the three-dimensional upper mantle velocity structure of the
Mediterranean-Carpathian region provide a better understanding of the lithospheric …

The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as subducted
lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document this as …

We report on a marine seismic survey that images an active accretionary wedge west of
Gibraltar. Ramp thrusts offset the seafloor and sole out to an east-dipping décollement, …

A unique GPS velocity field that spans the entire Southeast Asia region is presented. It is
based on 10 years (1994–2004) of GPS data at more than 100 sites in Indonesia, Malaysia, …

In recent syntheses of the geodynamic evolution of the Aegean area the Hellenic subduction
zone and in particular its initiation, plays a central role. Two basic aspects of the recent …

New tomographic images of the Hellenic subduction zone demonstrate slab penetration in
the Aegean Upper Mantle to depths of at least 600 km. Beneath Greece the lower part of the …

A review of the geological and geophysical data from the central and western Mediterranean
region and the present-day upper mantle structure derived from tomographic studies are …

In the mantle underneath the Tethyan suture zone, large volumes of positive velocity anomalies
have been imaged by seismic tomography and interpreted as the present‐day signature …

Recent global travel time tomography studies by Zhou [1996] and van der Hilst et al. [1997]
have been performed with cell parameterizations of the order of those frequently used in …
