Post-collisional magmatism may be generated by extensive crustal melting in Tibet-type
collisional environments or by falling out of slabs from under giant subduction–accretion …

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 …

The East Anatolian High Plateau is a region of average∼ 2 km elevation asl exhibiting
active diffuse N‐S shortening and widespread Pliocene to recent volcanicity. Its elevation …

The Lesser Caucasus occurs in the hinterland of the Arabia–Eurasia collision zone in the
broad Alpine–Himalayan orogenic belt and includes Cenozoic plutonic and volcanic …

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 …

Uplifted Neogene marine sediments and Quaternary fluvial terraces in the Mut Basin,
southern Turkey, reveal a detailed history of surface uplift along the southern margin of the …

Crustal and upper-mantle seismic discontinuities beneath eastern Turkey are imaged using
teleseismic S-to-P converted phases. Three crustal phases are observed: the Moho with …

The timing and pattern of surface uplift of Miocene marine sediments capping the southern
margin of the Central Anatolian Plateau in southern Turkey provide a first-order constraint on …

Eastern Anatolia is one of the best examples of an active continental collision zone in the
world. It comprises one of the high plateaus of the Alpine-Himalaya mountain belt, with an …

The idea that prominent geological phenomena observed in the crust and at the surface may
be caused by the detachment of subducting dense lithosphere has been anticipated by …
