From orthogonal shortening to transpression: The >20 Myr polyphase structural and thermal evolution of the Carboneras fault in the Betics, SE Spain

The architecture of mature faults commonly reflects long-lasting, cumulative tectonic histories marked by multiple episodes of deformation localization, fluid inflow, and variable slip behaviors. Hence, reconstructing fault tectonic histories and associated seismotectonic pattern...

(i)SDL insight – digital lending pathways in Italy, Poland and Spain: outcomes and future outlook

Purpose The digital transformation has profoundly changed the way libraries offer access to knowledge; however, they currently lack a legal framework that would enable them to fully exercise their public interest functions in the digital environment. (Independent) Secure digital...

Active Galactic Nuclei as high-energy neutrino sources

Abstract Identifying the sources of the high-energy astrophysical neutrinos has been one of the main topics in astrophysics since the first observation of high-energy neutrinos by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are sources of high-energy $$\gamma $...

Mantle heterogeneity drives spreading center dynamics at Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge

The Mohns and Knipovich mid-ocean ridges in the Arctic Ocean are ideal settings to investigate the dynamics of spreading centers, being the region affected by intricate interplays between oblique plate kinematics and curved plate boundary geometry. Furthermore, significant mantle...

Ferdinandea Island and Graham Bank, Sicily Channel: An Integrated Historical, Geological and Geomorphological Synthesis of a Shallow Submarine Monogenetic Volcanic Field

Ferdinandea Island, part of a shallow-water submarine volcanic field, emerged in the Sicily Channel between Italy and Tunisia in July 1831 and was eroded below sea level within months; its submerged remnant forms the shallowest water depth region of Graham Bank. Here, we review n...
