Aegean tectonics: Strain localisation, slab tearing and trench retreat
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 …

Present-day kinematics of the Mediterranean: A comprehensive overview of GPS results
JM Nocquet - Tectonophysics, 2012 - Elsevier
I combine recently published GPS results to derive a geodetic horizontal velocity field
consistent at the scale of the Mediterranean and the surrounding Alpine belts. The velocity …

GPS constraints on continental deformation in the Africa‐Arabia‐Eurasia continental collision zone and implications for the dynamics of plate interactions
The GPS‐derived velocity field (1988–2005) for the zone of interaction of the Arabian,
African (Nubian, Somalian), and Eurasian plates indicates counterclockwise rotation of a …

Quaternary evolution of the Corinth Rift and its implications for the Late Cenozoic evolution of the Aegean
We present geological and morphological observations at different scales to constrain rates
of faulting and the distribution of deformation in the seismically active Aegean region. We …

Midcrustal shear zones in postorogenic extension: example from the northern Tyrrhenian Sea
Metamorphic core complexes of the Aegean region have revealed midcrustal, shallow‐
dip** extensional shear zones. These shear zones display constant kinematic indicators …

Slab detachment beneath eastern Anatolia: A possible cause for the formation of the North Anatolian fault
In this paper, we discuss the possibility that the North Anatolian fault (NAF) results from the
deep deformation of the slab beneath the Bitlis–Hellenic subduction zone. We described the …

[PDF][PDF] Subduction tectonics and exhumation of high-pressure metamorphic rocks in the Mediterranean orogens
Using the peri-Mediterranean blueschist belts as a case study we discuss the mechanisms
of syn-orogenic exhumation of high-pressure (HP) and ultra-highpressure (UHP) rocks. The …
