The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

We present a map that correlates tectonic units between Alps and western Turkey
accompanied by a text providing access to literature data, explaining the concepts used for …

The formation of a global network of plate boundaries surrounding a mosaic of lithospheric
fragments was a key step in the emergence of Earth's plate tectonics. So far, propositions for …

This article summarizes the geodynamic evolution of the Caucasus mountain belt from the
Paleozoic to Present based on a review of works from Eastern Anatolia, Greater and Lesser …

Formation of new subduction zones represents one of the cornerstones of plate tectonics,
yet both the kinematics and geodynamics governing this process remain enigmatic. A major …

We compiled geochronology data from 87 published studies within the Anatolia orogen
(32.5 E–44 E) to investigate the spatial and temporal patterns of continental magmatism …

Jurassic subduction initiation in the Neo‐Tethys Ocean eventually led to the collision of the
Adria‐Africa and Eurasia continents and the formation of an~ 6,000 km long Alpine orogen …

Using finite-frequency teleseismic P-wave tomography, we developed a new three-
dimensional (3-D) velocity model of the mantle beneath Anatolia down to 900 km depth that …

The persistent debate over the timing of initial Arabia–Eurasia collision has eluded
consensus for decades, with most estimates ranging widely from~ 50 to 10 Ma along both …
