Turkey forms one of the most actively deforming regions in the world and has a long history
of devastating earthquakes. The belter understanding of its neotectonic features and active …

In recent syntheses of the geodynamic evolution of the Aegean area the Hellenic subduction
zone and in particular its initiation, plays a central role. Two basic aspects of the recent …

This paper aims at summarizing the current extent and architecture of the former Mesozoic
passive margin of North Africa from North Algeria in the west up to the Ionian‐Calabrian arc …

We use improved focal mechanisms and centroid depth estimates of earthquakes, combined
with GPS velocities, to examine the tectonics of the Hellenic subduction zone, and in …

Santorini volcanic field has had 12 major (1–10 km3 or more of magma), and numerous
minor, explosive eruptions over the last~ 200 ka. Deposits from these eruptions (Thera …

Turkey is located in one of the most seismically active regions in the world. Characterizing
seismic source zones in this region requires evaluation and integration of geological …

Calcite veins are commonly found at shallow depth (a few metres below the surface) in
damage zones of active normal fault systems in southwest Turkey. Although earlier studies …

The style of overriding plate deformation at subduction zones varies from backarc spreading
and basin formation, as found in the Scotia Sea, to shortening and cordilleran orogeny, as …

The collapse of the Santorini caldera after the catastrophic eruption of the Bronze Age,
3500y BP, caused a tsunami wave that had catastrophic effects in the Ionian basin, including …

Convergence in the eastern Mediterranean of oceanic Nubia with Anatolia and the Aegean
is complex and poorly understood. Large volumes of sediment obscure the shallow structure …
