• Slab break-offs in the Alpine subduction zone 

      Kästle, Emanuel D.ORCIDiD; Rosenberg, Claudio; Boschi, Lapo; Bellahsen, Nicolas; Meier, Thomas; El-Sharkawy, AmrORCIDiD (International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2020-01-30)
      After the onset of plate collision in the Alps, at 32–34 Ma, the deep structure of the orogen is inferred to have changed dramatically: European plate break-offs in various places of the Alpine arc, as well as a possible ...
    • The Slab Puzzle of the Alpine-Mediterranean Region: Insights From a New, High-Resolution, Shear Wave Velocity Model of the Upper Mantle 

      El-Sharkawy, AmrORCIDiD; Meier, Thomas; Lebedev, SergeiORCIDiD; Behrmann, Jan H.ORCIDiD; Hamada, Mona; Cristiano, Luigia; Weidle, ChristianORCIDiD; Köhn, DanielORCIDiD (Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020)
      Mediterranean tectonics since the Lower Cretaceous has been characterized by a multiphase subduction and collision history with temporally and spatially variable, small-scale plate configurations. A new shear wave velocity ...
