“…Tomographic images beneath continental collisions show that slabs are steep and often detached (e.g. India, Replumaz et al 2004;Northern Apennines, Lucente et al, 1999;Faccenna et al, 2001;Piromallo and Morelli, 2003;Carpathians, Wortel and Spakman, 2000;Alps, Piromallo and Faccenna, 2004;Spakman et al, 2004). Furthermore, the values of advance we obtained in our model (50-220 km; Fig.…”

“…Early tomographic images [Blanco and Spakman, 1993] show a high velocity body between 250 and 650 km depth, suggesting a scenario of slab detachment. More recently, Spakman and Wortel [2004] describe the 3-D geometry of a continuous slab extending to 660 km depth, supporting models of westward slab roll-back in the BeticRif-Alboran region [Lonergan and White, 1997;Faccenna et al, 2004;Jolivet et al, 2008]. Ongoing eastward subduction has been proposed by Gutscher et al [2002], however no signature of such a process shows up in the regional seismotectonic patterns and the GPS velocity field [Stich et al, 2005[Stich et al, , 2006.…”

“…At those high frequencies, effects as scattering, focussing/ defocussing or 3D propagation should become more important than or comparable to intrinsic attenuation. While in a typical subduction setting, such waves often carry a significant imprint of the mantle wedge or along-slab propagation, the limited horizontal extension of the upper mantle high-velocity anomaly beneath southern Spain [Spakman and Wortel, 2004] suggests that here the inferred Q values should be more representative of an average upper mantle outside the subduction system. In particular, the 1 Instituto Andaluz de Geofísica, University of Granada, Granada, Spain.…”

“…Tomography reveals a complex slab configuration below the Alps (Lippitsch et al 2003;Spakman and Wortel 2004). The geometry and the dynamic evolution of the remaining Alpine slabs have a strong influence on the Alpine geometry as seen at the surface today (Lippitsch et al 2003).…”
