Western Anatolia (Turkey) experienced widespread Cenozoic magmatism after the collision between the Sakarya (SC) and Anatolide–Tauride continental blocks (ATP) in the pre …
Earth's continental crust is dominantly made of buoyant, felsic igneous material (granitoids), that was ultimately extracted from the mantle as a result of Earth's differentiation. Since felsic …

The Aegean region is a concentrate of the main geodynamic processes that shaped the Mediterranean region: oceanic and continental subduction, mountain building, high …
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 …
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 …
The complexity of the plate interactions and associated crustal deformation in the Eastern Mediterranean region is reflected in many destructive earthquakes that have occurred …
Post-collisional magmatism in western Anatolia followed a continental collision event in the Early Eocene, and occurred in discrete pulses that appear to have propagated from north to …
Interactions between subduction dynamics and magma genesis have been intensely investigated, resulting in several conceptual models derived from geological, geochemical …
