The deformation of Earth's lithosphere in orogenic belts is largely forced externally by the
sinking slab, but can also be driven by internal delamination processes caused by …

İzmir Bay is an actively growing shallow marine basin controlled by active faults trending NE,
NW, NS and EW, in the West Anatolian Extensional Province. The bay of İzmir is a lazy L …

The Cumaovası basin, formerly known as the Çubukludağ Graben, is located at the western
end of Gediz and Küçük Menderes grabens in the west Anatolian extensional province. It is …

ABSTRACT The Kocaçay Basin (KÇB) is a key area in western Anatolia–a well‐known
extended terrane where regional segmentation has received limited attention–for …

In order to asses young, ie “neotectonic” fault kinematics and the relation with plate-tectonic
processes in SW Turkey we focused on the questions: 1) what produced the structural grain …

Turkey is an area of complex geology with active tectonics and high geothermal potential.
Especially, the western part of Turkey is a region of abundant geothermal activity. Faults …

The İzmir–Balıkesir transfer zone (İBTZ) is a recently recognized strike-slip dominated shear
zone that accommodates the differential deformation between the Cycladic and Menderes …

The structural evolution of the Miocene to Recent Gediz Graben is intimately related to the
evolution of its southern margin. This margin is shaped by a time‐transgressive, composite …

The Gediz Graben is a continental extensional basin filled with Miocene to Recent
sediments. The evolution of the graben can be expressed in terms of two phases:(i) Miocene …

Much remains to be understood about the links between regional vertical axis rotations,
continental extension, and shortening. In western Turkey, Miocene vertical axis rotations …
