Title: Mediterranean basins relative to lithosphere structure: Oblique element in the Eur-Africa convergence

Conference · · AAPG Bull.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5840263

The author has correlated structural data in the Mediterranean portion of the Alpide tectonic belt with the high-degree geoid and SeaSat-derived gravity. The geoid provides a uniform synoptic view of the region; by suppressing the effect of surficial tectonic features, they can identify the major lithosphere structural units.
