The interface between subducting oceanic slabs and the hanging wall is a structurally and
lithologically complex region. Chemically disparate lithologies (sedimentary, mafic and …

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

High-P/T metamorphic belts were classified into types A and B according to their protoliths.
The A-type (collision-type) blueschists possess passive-margin protoliths characterized by …

Zircons were studied from high-pressure/low-temperature metamorphosed meta-igneous
lithologies from Syros. These rocks carry several zircon generations related to each other by …

Deep-seated metamorphic rocks are commonly found in the interior of many divergent and
convergent orogens. Plate tectonics can account for high-pressure metamorphism by …

A metamorphic core complex of latest Oligocene age crops out in the Kazdağ mountain
range in northwest Turkey. The footwall of the core complex consists of gneiss, amphibolite …

Since the early 1970s, most geodynamic models proposed for the Eastern Mediterranean
consider that the initiation of extension in the Aegean, during the late Middle Miocene or …

Structural investigations in the central part of the Menderes Massif (Ödemiº-Kiraz submas-
sif) reveal the presence of a large-scale, low-angle extensional shear zone with a top-to-the …

This paper presents a study of the ductile and brittle deformation on Naxos and Paros
islands (Cyclades, Greece). Previous maps and studies of the two islands have shown that a …

The complexity of the plate interactions and associated crustal deformation in the Eastern
Mediterranean region is reflected in many destructive earthquakes that have occurred …
