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 …

Abstract In Central and Western Anatolia two continent‐derived massifs simultaneously
underthrusted an oceanic lithosphere in the Cretaceous and ended up with very contrasting …

New ages and strain analysis of syntectonic calcite from the west-central part of the North
Anatolian fault zone (NAFZ; northern Turkey) shed light on the debate over the origin and …

It is agreed that mantle dynamics have played a role in generating and maintaining the
elevated topography of Anatolia during Neogene times. However, there is debate about the …

The anomalous enrichment of clay minerals in fault zones is considered a key factor
affecting the seismic behavior of faults, fault permeability, and mineralization. This process …

Complex geology and tectonics of the NW Iran, the Caucasus region, and Eastern Turkey,
are responsible for the present‐day landscapes of the region. The Aras drainage basin …

At the northern margin of the North China Block (NCB), the Xilamulun Fault (XMF) is a key
belt to decipher the tectonic evolution of Central-Eastern Asia, as it records the Paleozoic …

The configuration and evolution of subduction zones in the Eastern Mediterranean region in
Cretaceous time accommodating Africa–Europe convergence remain poorly quantitatively …

Both the sources and pathways of fluid circulation are key factors to understanding the
evolution of low-angle normal fault (LANF) systems and the distribution of mineral deposits …

Continent-continent collision drives crustal deformation, topographic rise and geodynamic
change. Africa-Eurasia convergence accommodated in the Eastern Mediterranean involved …
