This paper analyzes and reviews the rapid uplifts of the Earth's crust in the Caucasus that
occurred over the last century. The uplifts were registered by precise repeated state leveling …

Orogenic wedges are common at convergent plate margins and deform internally to
maintain a self‐similar geometry during growth. New structural map** and …

Abstract Although the Greater Caucasus Mountains have played a central role in absorbing
late Cenozoic convergence between the Arabian and Eurasian plates, the orogenic …

Structural interference along the boundaries of adjacent tectonic domains generates
complex subsidence and exhumation patterns. In this paper we study a key segment of the …

Recent studies of the stress state of the Earth's crust and rates of plate movement of the
Caucasian fold system with respect to the Eurasian continent, analysis of sources of …

The Rioni foreland fold-and-thrust belt is part of the Greater Caucasus pro-wedge and is one
of the most important examples of the collision-driven far-field deformation of the Arabia …

Here we present the main features of the frontal structure, known as Kur Fault, of the Plio-
Quaternary Kura fold-and-thrust belt in the Greater Caucasus (Azerbaijan). The Kur Fault …

In the frame of the DAMAST (Dams and Seismicity) project, we deployed a dense high-
fidelity seismological real-time network to investigate in detail the spatio-temporal seismicity …

Thermal history reconstructions can help to better characterise the geological history of
areas that experienced a polyphase tectonic evolution. The integration of published …

The thrust front of the central Lesser Caucasus and southern part of the Greater Caucasus
orogens is one of the key regions of an apparent convergence zone between two orogens …
