Post-collisional magmatism may be generated by extensive crustal melting in Tibet-type
collisional environments or by falling out of slabs from under giant subduction–accretion …

Abstract The Central and Eastern Anatolian plateaus are integral parts of the world's third
largest orogenic plateau. In the past decade, geophysical surveys have provided insights …

Asia has been a major testing ground for various competing models of continental
deformation due to its relatively well-understood plate boundary conditions in the Cenozoic …

Premise of the Study A key question in evolutionary biology is why some clades are more
successful by being widespread geographically, biome diverse, or species‐rich. To extend …

Five years of continuously recording GPS observations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
together with new continuous and survey‐mode GPS observations broadly distributed …

Crustal and upper-mantle seismic discontinuities beneath eastern Turkey are imaged using
teleseismic S-to-P converted phases. Three crustal phases are observed: the Moho with …

Eastern Anatolia is one of the best examples of an active continental collision zone in the
world. It comprises one of the high plateaus of the Alpine-Himalaya mountain belt, with an …

The idea that prominent geological phenomena observed in the crust and at the surface may
be caused by the detachment of subducting dense lithosphere has been anticipated by …

The timing of tectonic emplacement of the ophiolites is analyzed in the four oceanic terranes
of the Hellenides (H2, H4, H6, H8). The criteria for this analysis are based on: a) the post …

Being a part of ongoing continental collision between the Arabian and Eurasian plates, the
Caucasus region is a remarkable site of moderate to strong seismicity, where devastating …
