Aegean tectonics: Strain localisation, slab tearing and trench retreat
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 …

Menderes Massif (western Turkey): structural, metamorphic and magmatic evolution–a synthesis
E Bozkurt, R Oberhänsli - International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2001 - Springer
The Menderes Massif covers large areas in western Turkey. The better understanding of its
tectono-metamorphic history would provide insight for the Alpine evolution of western Turkey …

Origin of NE-trending basins in western Turkey
E Bozkurt - Geodinamica acta, 2003 - Elsevier
The origin of NE-trending basins and their relation to the E–W-trending grabens in western
Turkey have been the subject of long lasting debate. The stratigraphical and structural …

The geological signature of a slab tear below the Aegean
In this paper we explore the geology of the Aegean region in the Miocene to identify the
geological signature of a first-order slab tear observed in all tomographic models. From 15 to …

Origin of the Eastern Mediterranean basin: a reevaluation
Z Garfunkel - Tectonophysics, 2004 - Elsevier
The origin of the Eastern Mediterranean basin (EMB) by rifting along its passive margins is
reevaluated. Evidence from these margins shows that this basin formed before the Middle …

Map view restoration of Aegean–West Anatolian accretion and extension since the Eocene
DJJ van Hinsbergen, SM Schmid - Tectonics, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

What caused the denudation of the Menderes Massif: Review of crustal evolution, lithosphere structure, and dynamic topography in southwest Turkey
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 …

An active bivergent rolling-hinge detachment system: Central Menderes metamorphic core complex in western Turkey
Two symmetrically arranged detachment systems delimit the central Menderes metamorphic
core complex and define a bivergent continental breakaway zone in the Anatolide belt of …
