We review the geodynamic evolution of the Aegean–Anatolia region and discuss strain
localisation there over geological times. From Late Eocene to Present, crustal deformation in …

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

The Aegean region (Greece, western Turkey) is one of the best studied continental
extensional provinces. Here, we provide the first detailed kinematic restoration of the …

Low-angle normal faults accommodate a large part of continental post-orogenic extension.
Besides the intrinsic rheological characteristics of the continental crust that may lead to the …

The deformation of Earth's lithosphere in orogenic belts is largely forced externally by the
sinking slab, but can also be driven by internal delamination processes caused by …

We discuss the assembly and tectonochronology of the Cycladic Blueschist Unit (CBU) in
the central Aegean Sea region, Greece, as a composite, subduction-related, high-pressure …

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 …

Abstract The South Tibetan detachment system (STDS) in the Himalayan orogen is an
example of normal‐sense displacement on an orogen‐parallel shear zone during …

Structural, metamorphic, and geochronologic work shows that the Ampelos/Dilek nappe of
the Cycladic blueschist unit in the eastern Aegean constitutes a wedge of high‐pressure …

Abstract The Cenozoic metallogeny in Greece includes numerous major and minor
hydrothermal mineral deposits, associated with the closure of the Western Tethyan Ocean …
