[HTML][HTML] Orogenic architecture of the Mediterranean region and kinematic reconstruction of its tectonic evolution since the Triassic
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 …

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 …

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 …

Analogue modelling of continental extension: a review focused on the relations between the patterns of deformation and the presence of magma
Continental extension may occur in two main different modes, narrow and wide rifting, which
mainly differ in the width of the deformed region. A third mechanism, the core complex, has …

Partial melting and flow of orogens
A comparison of large orogenic belts formed at convergent plate boundaries indicates that
orogenic evolution comprises a period of crustal thickening followed by the formation of a …
