▪ Abstract Dedicated to the memory of three pioneers, İhsan Ketin, Sırrı Erinç and Melih
Tokay, and a recent student, Aykut Barka, who burnt himself out in pursuit of the mysteries of …

The two main Tethyan sutures of Turkey, the İzmir-Ankara-Erzincan and the Intra-Pontide
sutures, are reviewed through several well-studied transects crossing the suture regions …

The Middle East and eastern Mediterranean regions contain three major strike‐slip fault
zones: the Dead Sea fault zone (DSFZ) and the North and East Anatolian fault zones (NAFZ …

Restraining-and releasing bends with similar morphology and structure have been
described by many previous studies of strike-slip faults in a variety of active and ancient …

Using the detailed geometry and tectonics of the Main Marmara fault that connects the Gulf
of Izmit fault with the Ganos fault established by Le Pichon et al.[2001] and the new GPS …

The Turkish Pontide fold‐and‐thrust belt formed since the Paleozoic and is an important
element in the Africa‐Eurasia convergence and the resulting closure of the Neo‐Tethys …

This palaeomagnetic study investigates crustal deformation within, and adjacent to, the
Niksar overlap area of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) in central-east Turkey. The …

Theoretical considerations of lithosphere deformation across transform plate boundaries
predict an expression in terms of 3istributed deformation. The magnitude of rotation is …

Mechanical analysis of lithospheric deformation associated with an intracontinental
transform fault suggests that it should be associated with a pattern of vertical axis rotations …
