A complex interplay of palaeoclimatic, eustatic and tectonic processes led to fragmentation
and dissipation of the vast Tethys Ocean in Eocene–Oligocene times. The resulting …

The geodynamic evolution of Turkey is mainly controlled by drift and collision of a number
oceanic and continental plates or terranes. This can be ascribed to four orogenic episodes …

When oceanic basins close after a long period of convergence and subduction, continental
collision and mountain building is a common consequence. Slab segmentation is expected …

The extensive gypsum karst of Sivas, Turkey is one of the most outstanding examples of
bare gypsum karst in the world. It displays a number of remarkable geomorphic features …

In the present study, laboratory scale experiments were conducted with the air-fed
electrocoagulation (EC) reactor using iron (Fe) ball and plate anodes in a batch mode to …

Abstract The Sivas Basin in the Central Anatolian Plateau (Turkey), which formed in the
context of a foreland fold‐and‐thrust belt (FTB), exhibits a typical wall and basin (WAB) …

Kinematic reconstruction of modern ocean basins shows that since Pangea breakup a vast
area in the Neotethyan realm was lost to subduction. Here we develop a first‐order …

Tectonic and sedimentary mélanges, rocks with block‐in‐matrix fabric often referred to as
'chaotic', are widespread in the circum‐Mediterranean collisional orogenic belts as well as in …

Continental collisions exert a profound influence on the configuration and evolution of
orogenic systems. The effects of Arabia‐Eurasia collision on the geodynamics of the eastern …

Abstract Late Cretaceous to Middle Eocene calc-alkaline to alkaline magmatic rocks
emplaced within the southeastern Anatolian orogenic belt, the most extensive magmatic belt …
