New lithospheric imagings of relevant importance for understanding disputed topics are provided. Alps, Apennines, Calabrian Arc, Sicilian Apennine, Maghrebian Chain, Corso-Sardinian Block, paleo-basins (Ionian, Alpine Tethys), neo-basins (Balearic and Tyrrhenian) are innovatively reconstructed.
- Provides new data from the Alps to Africa
- Presents interpretation of the CROP seismic network data
- Offers a stepwise increase in information with new data for further studies
