Late Cenozoic reorganization of the Arabia‐Eurasia collision and the comparison of short‐term and long‐term deformation rates
The Arabia‐Eurasia collision deforms an area of∼ 3,000,000 km2 of continental crust,
making it one of the largest regions of convergent deformation on Earth. There are now …

Slab detachment beneath eastern Anatolia: A possible cause for the formation of the North Anatolian fault
In this paper, we discuss the possibility that the North Anatolian fault (NAF) results from the
deep deformation of the slab beneath the Bitlis–Hellenic subduction zone. We described the …
