Map view restoration of Aegean–West Anatolian accretion and extension since the Eocene

DJJ van Hinsbergen, SM Schmid - Tectonics, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The Aegean region (Greece, western Turkey) is one of the best studied continental
extensional provinces. Here, we provide the first detailed kinematic restoration of the …

What caused the denudation of the Menderes Massif: Review of crustal evolution, lithosphere structure, and dynamic topography in southwest Turkey

K Gessner, LA Gallardo, V Markwitz, U Ring… - Gondwana …, 2013 - Elsevier
The deformation of Earth's lithosphere in orogenic belts is largely forced externally by the
sinking slab, but can also be driven by internal delamination processes caused by …

[LIVRE][B] The geodynamics of the Aegean and Anatolia: introduction

T Taymaz, Y Yilmaz, Y Dilek - 2007 - lyellcollection.org
