This paper provides a review of the structure and metamorphism of the Menderes Massif in
western Turkey, and subsequently a map-view restoration of its Neogene unroofing history …

This paper addresses the lithosphere-scale subduction–collision history of the eastern
termination of the Aegean retreating subduction system, ie western Anatolia. Although there …

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 …

The distribution of oceanic domains and continental blocks in Central Anatolia remains a
challenge in understanding the Alpine geodynamic evolution of the Tethys realm. The …

Fifty years ago, geologic conditions attending the formation of blueschists, eclogites, and
garnet lherzolites were not known. But, with the advent of high-pressure phase-synthesis …

The multiple high‐pressure (HP), low‐temperature (LT) metamorphic units of Western and
Central Anatolia offer a great opportunity to investigate the subduction‐and continental …

Much remains to be understood about the links between regional vertical axis rotations,
continental extension, and shortening. In western Turkey, Miocene vertical axis rotations …

Reconstructions of the Anatolian continent and adjacent areas assume the existence of one
or more continental fragments during Mesozoic–Early Cenozoic time. These rifted from …

In the Menderes Massif (western Taurides) a Neoproterozoic basement comprising
metasediments and intrusive granites is imbricated between Paleozoic platform sediments …
