Lithospheric subduction prior to the assembly of the South China and North China blocks is
traditionally considered to be directed northward. However, some critical geological and …

We review the geodynamic evolution of the Aegean–Anatolia region and discuss strain
localisation there over geological times. From Late Eocene to Present, crustal deformation in …

The Aegean region is a concentrate of the main geodynamic processes that shaped the
Mediterranean region: oceanic and continental subduction, mountain building, high …

Deep-seated metamorphic rocks are commonly found in the interior of many divergent and
convergent orogens. Plate tectonics can account for high-pressure metamorphism by …

We quantitatively investigate the relation between nappe stacking and subduction in the
Aegean region. If nappe stacking is the result of the decoupling of upper-crustal parts (5–10 …

In this paper we explore the geology of the Aegean region in the Miocene to identify the
geological signature of a first-order slab tear observed in all tomographic models. From 15 to …

Models for the formation of the high-amplitude (minimum 15km), long wavelength (120km)
granitoid dome-and-greenstone syncline geometry of the Archaean East Pilbara Granite …

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 …

Comparison between the tectonic and palaeogeographic evolution of the Mediterranean
region from the Oligocene to the Present shows that the isolation of the Mediterranean …

The relationship between subduction dynamics and crustal deformation in the
Mediterranean region has been recently studied using three-dimensional (3D) models. Such …
