Abstract

We report results on the measured high 3 He/ 4 He isotope ratio in western Sicily, interpreted together with the heat data. The study of this sector of the Europe‐Africa interaction is crucial to a better understanding of the tectonics and the geodynamical evolution of the central Mediterranean area...
