Security of supply of a number of raw materials is of concern for the European Union;
foremost among these are the rare earth elements (REE), which are used in a range of …

During the Cenozoic widespread anorogenic magmatism, unrelated to recent supra-
subduction zone modification of its mantle source, developed within the Mediterranean and …

Arc volcanism across Iran is dominated by a Paleogene pulse, despite protracted and
presumably continuous subduction along the northern margin of the Neotethyan ocean for …

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 …

Post-collisional magmatism in western Anatolia began in the Eocene, and has occurred in
discrete pulses throughout the Cenozoic as it propagated from north to south, producing …

The relationship between subduction dynamics and crustal deformation in the
Mediterranean region has been recently studied using three-dimensional (3D) models. Such …

Slab retreat, slab tearing and interactions of slabs are first-order drivers of the deformation of
the overriding lithosphere. An independent description of the tectonic evolution of the back …

Abstract The modern Anatolian–African plate boundary is represented by a north-dipping
subduction zone that has been part of a broad domain of regional convergence between …

In Western Anatolia, early-middle Miocene post-collisional volcanism is represented by K-
rich volcanic rocks; including calc-alkaline, high-K calc-alkaline, shoshonitic and …

It is agreed that mantle dynamics have played a role in generating and maintaining the
elevated topography of Anatolia during Neogene times. However, there is debate about the …
