The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

Abstract The Central and Eastern Anatolian plateaus are integral parts of the world's third
largest orogenic plateau. In the past decade, geophysical surveys have provided insights …

The Zagros Mountains of Iran formed by continental collision from closure of the Neo-
Tethyan Ocean. The Zagros Orogen underlying the mountain range reflects a much longer …

This study describes the hydroclimate evolution of the eastern Mediterranean Basin during
the early Messinian (7.2 to 6.5 Ma) time-interval based on analysis of a succession at Agios …

Abstract The Cimmerian Continent is the narrow continental strip that rifted from the
northeastern Gondwana-Land margin mostly during the Permian between the present-day …

We compiled geochronology data from 87 published studies within the Anatolia orogen
(32.5 E–44 E) to investigate the spatial and temporal patterns of continental magmatism …

Hydrothermal vents are among the most fascinating environments that exist within the
modern oceans, being home to highly productive communities of specially-adapted fauna …

This paper presents several types of new information including U–Pb radiometric dating of
ophiolitic rocks and an intrusive granite, micropalaeontological dating of siliceous and …

Abstract The Zagros Orogen, marking the closure of the Neo-Tethyan Ocean, formed by
continental collision beginning in the late Eocene to early Miocene. Collision was preceded …

Regional observations suggest that the Central Anatolian plateau (central Turkey) has risen
by> 1 km since the Tortonian (~ 8 Ma) while significant crustal shortening did not occur. This …
