Scientific paper

We study the contribution of mantle flow to surface deformation within the Mediterranean Basin. Flow is modeled numerically based on lateral changes in mantle temperature estimated from tomography models. We find that modeling results are significantly affected by the properties of the selected tomography models. Shear-velocity models based on surface-wave observations achieve the highest resolution of upper-mantle structure, and, as a result, are most successful in predicting microplate motion and dynamic topography.
