oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

We present a map that correlates tectonic units between Alps and western Turkey
accompanied by a text providing access to literature data, explaining the concepts used for …

To address the question of the initiation and mechanisms involved in the process of
subduction zone formation, we explored most of the available evidence for the subduction …

Assessing the size of a former ocean of which only remnants are found in mountain belts is
challenging but crucial to understanding subduction and exhumation processes. Here we …

Abstract The Eocene (~ 50–45 Ma) major absolute plate motion change of the Pacific plate
forming the Hawaii‐Emperor bend is thought to result from inception of Pacific plate …

Postcollisional magmatism in the eastern Sakarya zone was recorded by voluminous basic
volcanism and repeated plutonism during the early Cenozoic. The temporal and …

We present new, geological, metamorphic, geochemical and geochronological data on the
