Neotethyan suprasubduction zone ophiolites represent anomalous oceanic crust developed
in older host basins during trench rollback cycles and later entrapped in orogenic belts as a …

This article uses evidence mainly from the Eastern Mediterranean and Oman to help
understand the origin and emplacement of ophiolites. Field studies in these regions …

The Aegean region is a concentrate of the main geodynamic processes that shaped the
Mediterranean region: oceanic and continental subduction, mountain building, high …

The Eastern Mediterranean region exhibits a fascinating diversity of ophiolites and related
oceanic magmatic units of mainly Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous age. Comparisons with …

Research carried out since the opening of Albania to the 'western'geological community in
the 1990s allows the geology and tectonics of this small Balkan country to be integrated into …

Low-angle normal faults accommodate a large part of continental post-orogenic extension.
Besides the intrinsic rheological characteristics of the continental crust that may lead to the …

Greece is characterized by high plant diversity (5800 species) and endemism (15.6%). This
study attempts a first overall assessment of the taxonomy, distribution, traits and …

The Aegean region constitutes the overriding plate of the Africa–Eurasia convergent plate
system, in the eastern Mediterranean. To explain the fault kinematics and tectonic forces that …

Fault structure and basin evolution in the northern Aegean Sea and its surroundings have
been investigated using bathymetry, available onshore and offshore seismic profiles …

Kinematic vorticity, strain rate, finite strain and structural data have been used to describe
the heterogeneous nature of ductile deformation in an extruding crustal-scale shear zone …
