Due to their involvement in various allochthonous units, the affiliation of the (U)HP rocks to the suture zones that were the sites of their initial exhumation, is not always clear. The Bohemian Massif preserves the best evidence of Variscan sutures with clear relationships to the exposed (U)HP rocks. They are the Moldanubian and the Saxo-Thuringian sutures bounding the Teplá-Barrandian block from the SSE and NNE, respectively. The distribution of (U)HP rocks coincides with the boundaries of mantle lithosphere domains, delimited from large-scale seismic anisotropy, and reveals the NW-ward inclination of the Moldanubian mantle lithosphere domain beneath the Teplá-Barrandian block and thus a subduction polarity to the NW. The eastern margin of the Teplá-Barrandian block contains a magmatic arc, which is in direct contact with the Moldanubian orogenic wedge, and both are penetrated by lamprophyre dykes (∼340 Ma), which dates the cessation of the collision-related shortening and crustal consolidation. The overall crustal geometry of the Saxo-Thuringian suture implies the SE-ward polarity of subduction during its formation. However, based on seismic tomography and anisotropy model, the suture at mantle depths appears as a sub-vertical boundary between the Saxo-Thuringian and the Teplá-Barrandian lithosphere domains. The Saxo-Thuringian zone bears evidence of blueschist facies metamorphism in the (para)autochthonous units, which are strongly retrogressed. Compared to the Moldanubian zone, (U)HP rocks are less common in the Saxo-Thuringian zone and occur as nappes and klippes, some of which are exposed near the Moldanubian suture. The similarities of the Saxo-Thuringian (U)HP rocks to those in the Moldanubian zone and their allochthonous positions favour formation of some of the (U)HP rocks along the Moldanubian suture and their subsequent emplacement into the Saxothuringian zone. The Moldanubian suture appears to control the distribution of most of the (U)HP rocks exposed along the European Variscan Belt. They all show similarities regarding lithology, mainly fragments of mantle rocks included in felsic materials, and their granulite-amphibolite facies thermal overprint.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geodynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139561532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is due to the ray-based approximation of classical approaches and the near-vertical incidence of the core-mantle converted phases such as SKS that are often used. Recent developments include the calculation of finite-frequency sensitivity kernels for SKS splitting intensity observations, which allows us to accurately take into account the sensitivity to anisotropic structure with depth. A requirement of this tomographic technique is a dense station spacing, which results in overlapping sensitivity kernels at depth and allows for the localization of anisotropic structure. This is satisfied by a growing number of temporary seismic deployments, which motivates the desire to image anisotropic complexities with depth. Here, we introduce and make available a toolbox for the MATLAB environment that facilitates the application of finite-frequency splitting intensity tomography to dense seismic arrays. Our implementation includes several key features, including: 1) A forward calculation of splitting intensities and sensitivity kernels for a complex anisotropic model space. 2) Consideration of the dominant period of the wave, allowing for multiple-frequency analysis, as well as the incoming wave’s non-vertical incidence. 3) The inversion can be based on a classical gradient descent, on a form of the conjugate gradient method known as the BFGS algorithm, or on a gradient-informed stochastic reversible jump algorithm, allowing for a data-driven parametrization of the model space. 4) Importing splitting intensity measurements from waveforms processed in SplitRacer allows for fast pre-processing of large data sets due to its fully automatic design. To illustrate our method, we present both synthetic tests and an application to real data. We apply our inversion procedure to data from the Swath-D network, which densely covers the transition of the Central to the Eastern Alps. Previous studies showed evidence for an abrupt lateral change of layered seismic anisotropy that had been attributed to an opening for channeled asthenospheric flow. Using an SKS splitting intensity tomography approach, we can confirm previous inferences while providing additional constraints on the distribution of anisotropy laterally and with depth.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geodynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139499920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has been possible through a collection of more than 800 stress indicators derived from seismological and volcanological/geological information. In particular, the type of collected data allows to consider, for the first time in this area, two different temporal steps in the evolution of Etna volcano: the present-day and the previous volcanic phase at 15 ka. Results indicate a transition between a background shallow NW-SE tensional regime and a deep SW-NE compressional one that occurs between 6 and 16 km depth and which well fits with the present-day geodynamic framework of the area. The occurrence of small-scale lateral variations is interpreted as the second-order effect of the structures of the active front buried beneath the volcano, to the volcano loading, and to the feeding system. The temporal variations in the area surrounding the volcano suggest a major rearrangement of the background stress field evidenced by the swap between minimum and maximum horizontal stress directions. Conversely, during the same period, the stress pattern in the exact correspondence of the volcanic edifice showed to be stable and with a radial arrangement. Such coherence would support the literature which suggests a long-term inflation process started at least 15 kyr ago.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":54823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geodynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139068816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subducting slabs and lateral variations of the continental lithosphere can further influence the asthenospheric flow and control its direction. The Middle East region (MER) is a complex continental setting where different processes such as rifting, break-up, plate collision, and tectonic escape kinematically interact with each other. In this context, the role that lithospheric structure, mantle flow, and active upwellings may play is debated. Tomographic images provide a snapshot of the current thermal conditions of a region and seismic anisotropy can also help resolve mantle convection. Here, we synthesize shear-wave splitting observations together with up-to-date tomography models of the mantle structure beneath the MER and other geophysical data. Low-velocity anomalies are seen at asthenospheric depths beneath W Arabia, NW Iran, and Anatolia, suggesting a spreading zone of warm mantle. Two deep low-velocity bodies in Afar and Levant –interpreted as hot mantle plumes– are the sources of this shallower mantle flow. Where low velocities are imaged, we observe predominantly NE–SW oriented anisotropy, anomalously high topography, and abundant basaltic volcanism. The integrated analysis suggests that a horizontal component associated with active upwelling is present in the upper-mantle flow field. The large-scale circulation flow fed by the Afar and Levant Plumes, aided by the subduction-induced forces, facilitates the lateral motion of the Anatolian microplate and affects the dynamic evolution of the Zagros orogen. The proposed scenario demonstrates that the interplay between plate-tectonic events and mantle dynamics controls the kinematics of the region and can explain the general patterns of deformation observed at the surface.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geodynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264370723000455/pdfft?md5=7112401fe1f8e02647a48727724233e0&pid=1-s2.0-S0264370723000455-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138467223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We inverted RF for both isotropic and anisotropic properties of the mantle wedge, from below the overriding Moho to the “plate boundary”, i.e. the interface that separate the slab from the mantle wedge. Given the distribution of the seismic network, we are able to map out the change in the elastic properties at the transition between southern apennines and the Calabrian arc, given by the change in the subduction style (i.e from the subduction of continental materials to oceanic plate). We found that the anisotropy in the mantle wedge is similar between all seismic stations, generally highly anisotropic (&gt; 10%), with a direction of the symmetry axis that rotates clockwise from North to South, following the Calabrian arc geometry and likely indicating the mantle flow driven by the slab retreat. The elastic properties of the subducted crust are more heterogeneous. To the North, the subducted crust shows a highly anisotropic (&gt; 10%) behavior, and it occurs at larger depth (around 70 km depth), where to the South anisotropy is less intense (around 7%) and the subducted crust is shallower (around 60 km depth). These results point out a change in the subduction style that can be given by either a change in the metamorphic phase (more evolved blueschist facies stage to the North, initial greenschist facies stage to the South) or a different origin for the subducted materials (continental to the North and oceanic to the South). The differences in the anisotropic behavior of the subducted crust are reflected in the topography of the plate boundary, which becomes shallower from North to South, suggesting the existence of either a step in the slab topography or a more gentle ramp.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geodynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264370723000443/pdfft?md5=9aa0b6744419e827f4dc44535045b05d&pid=1-s2.0-S0264370723000443-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138533200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
