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 …

This contribution provides an overview of Paleomagnetism. org, an open-source, multi-
platform online environment for paleomagnetic data analysis. Paleomagnetism. org provides …

Ophiolite assemblages record structural, magmatic, and metamorphic processes that
preceded their entrapment in orogenic belts by continental plate collisions. Ophiolite genetic …

Subduction initiation is a critical link in the plate tectonic cycle. Intraoceanic subduction
zones can form along transform faults and fracture zones, but how subduction nucleates …

Abstract In Central and Western Anatolia two continent‐derived massifs simultaneously
underthrusted an oceanic lithosphere in the Cretaceous and ended up with very contrasting …

Formation of new subduction zones represents one of the cornerstones of plate tectonics,
yet both the kinematics and geodynamics governing this process remain enigmatic. A major …

Jurassic subduction initiation in the Neo‐Tethys Ocean eventually led to the collision of the
Adria‐Africa and Eurasia continents and the formation of an~ 6,000 km long Alpine orogen …

Ophiolites, fragments of oceanic lithosphere exposed on land, are typically found as isolated
klippen in intensely deformed fold-thrust belts spanning hundreds to thousands of kilometers …

The archetypal Semail ophiolite of Oman has inspired much thought on the dynamics of
initiation of intra-oceanic subduction zones. Current models invoke subduction initiation at a …

The soil geochemical atlas of Cyprus is a recent addition to the series of national to
continental-scale geochemical map** programmes implemented over the last two …
