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 …

Ongoing seafloor exploration highlights that ultramafic-hosted seafloor massive sulfide
deposits (UM-SMS) are ubiquitous along slow to ultra-slow spreading ridges. These …

ABSTRACT The Canadian Appalachians are a segment of the long and narrow
Appalachian–Caledonian mountain belt, one of the Earth's classic orogens. The Canadian …

Subduction initiation is a critical link in the plate tectonic cycle. Intraoceanic subduction
zones can form along transform faults and fracture zones, but how subduction nucleates …

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 …

The Chenaillet Ophiolite in the Franco–Italian Alps represents a well-exposed ocean-floor
sequence that was only weakly overprinted by Alpine metamorphism during its …

The objective of this article is to use the geology and tectonics of a critical part of the Tethyan
orogen, represented by Greece and Albania, to shed light on the tectonic development of …

U-Pb dates on magmatic and detrital zircon from samples in the hinterland of the Taconic
orogen place new constraints on the timing and plate tectonic geometry of terrane accretion …

Serpentine-bearing sediment, a rare sediment type that is formed and deposited in
divergent, convergent, transform, and collisional plate-tectonic settings, carries important …

We examined peridotite massifs in the eastern part of the Mirdita ophiolite (EMO), Albania,
where arc-related magmas are abundant in the upper volcanic sequences. Structurally …
