Seismic wave attenuation (1/Qp) in the crust underneath the Eastern and eastern Southern Alps (Europe): imaging effects of faults, fractures, and fluids

We present a novel three-dimensional model of compressional wave attenuation (1/Q_P) for the Eastern and eastern Southern Alps in Europe that includes the eastern part of the Adriatic indenter, termed here the Dol...

Faulting, basin formation and orogenic arcuation at the Dinaric–Hellenic junction (northern Albania and Kosovo)

The Dinaric–Hellenic mountain belt bends where two fault systems transect the orogen: (1) the dextral Shkoder-Peja Transfer Zone (SPTZ), active sometime between the Late Cretaceous and middle Eocene; (2) the S...

Rift-related paleogeography of the European margin in the Eastern Alps (Central Tauern Window)

Continent-derived tectonic units in the Tauern Window of the Alps exhibit stratigraphic and structural traces of extension of continental margins eventually leading to the opening of the Alpine Tethys. In this...

The AlpArray Seismic Network: A Large-Scale European Experiment to Image the Alpine Orogen

The AlpArray programme is a multinational, European consortium to advance our understanding of orogenesis and its relationship to mantle dynamics, plate reorganizations, surface processes and seismic hazard in...

Reconstructing the Alps–Carpathians–Dinarides as a key to understanding switches in subduction polarity, slab gaps and surface motion

Palinspastic map reconstructions and plate motion studies reveal that switches in subduction polarity and the opening of slab gaps beneath the Alps and Dinarides were triggered by slab tearing and involved wid...

The Tauern Window (Eastern Alps, Austria): a new tectonic map, with cross-sections and a tectonometamorphic synthesis

We present a tectonic map of the Tauern Window and surrounding units (Eastern Alps, Austria), combined with a series of crustal-scale cross-sections parallel and perpendicular to the Alpine orogen. This compil...
