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 …

We present a map that correlates tectonic units between Alps and western Turkey
accompanied by a text providing access to literature data, explaining the concepts used for …

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 …

The Cenozoic history of the retreating Hellenic subduction system in the eastern
Mediterranean involves subduction, accretion, arc magmatism, exhumation, normal faulting …

The Aegean region (Greece, western Turkey) is one of the best studied continental
extensional provinces. Here, we provide the first detailed kinematic restoration of the …

Low-angle normal faults accommodate a large part of continental post-orogenic extension.
Besides the intrinsic rheological characteristics of the continental crust that may lead to the …

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 …

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

We place the geological history since Cretaceous times in western Turkey in a context of
convergence, subduction, collision and slab break-off. To this end, we compare the west …
