Linking slab break-off, Hellenic trench retreat, and uplift of the Central and Eastern Anatolian plateaus
Abstract The Central and Eastern Anatolian plateaus are integral parts of the world's third
largest orogenic plateau. In the past decade, geophysical surveys have provided insights …

Low‐temperature thermochronometry along the Kunlun and Haiyuan Faults, NE Tibetan Plateau: Evidence for kinematic change during late‐stage orogenesis
Abstract The Tibetan Plateau is a prime example of a collisional orogen with widespread
strike‐slip faults whose age and tectonic significance remain controversial. We present new …

The oxygen isotope composition of mantle eclogites as a proxy of their origin and evolution: a review
In the past decade the oxygen isotope composition in rock-forming minerals of mantle
eclogites (δ 18 O= 2–12‰) has been actively discussed as a most reliable proxy of their …

Yo-yo subduction recorded by accessory minerals in the Italian Western Alps
High-pressure metamorphic rocks form during subduction of Earth's crust to mantle depths at
convergent plate margins. Their exposure at the surface of Earth today provides a record of …

Transtensional folding
Strain modeling shows that folds can form in transtension, particularly in simple shear-
dominated transtension. Folds that develop in transtension do not rotate toward the shear …

The temporal evolution of the active margin along the Southeast Anatolian Orogenic Belt (SE Turkey): Evidence from U–Pb, Ar–Ar and fission track chronology
Abstract The Southeast Anatolian Orogenic Belt (SAOB) resulted from the north-dipping
subduction of the southern Neotethyan oceanic lithosphere in late Mesozoic and early …
