Menderes Massif (western Turkey): structural, metamorphic and magmatic evolution–a synthesis

E Bozkurt, R Oberhänsli - International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2001 - Springer
The Menderes Massif covers large areas in western Turkey. The better understanding of its
tectono-metamorphic history would provide insight for the Alpine evolution of western Turkey …

A new classification of the Turkish terranes and sutures and its implication for the paleotectonic history of the region

P Moix, L Beccaletto, HW Kozur, C Hochard, F Rosselet… - Tectonophysics, 2008 - Elsevier
The Turkish part of the Tethyan realm is represented by a series of terranes juxtaposed
through Alpine convergent movements and separated by complex suture zones. Different …

Tectonic evolution of the Gediz Graben: field evidence for an episodic, two-stage extension in western Turkey

E Bozkurt, H SÖZBİLİR - Geological Magazine, 2004 - cambridge.org
Western Turkey is one of the most spectacular regions of widespread active continental
extension in the world. The most prominent structures of this region are E–W-trending …

Origin of NE-trending basins in western Turkey

E Bozkurt - Geodinamica acta, 2003 - Elsevier
The origin of NE-trending basins and their relation to the E–W-trending grabens in western
Turkey have been the subject of long lasting debate. The stratigraphical and structural …

What caused the denudation of the Menderes Massif: Review of crustal evolution, lithosphere structure, and dynamic topography in southwest Turkey

K Gessner, LA Gallardo, V Markwitz, U Ring… - Gondwana …, 2013 - Elsevier
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 …

Kinematic reconstructions and magmatic evolution illuminating crustal and mantle dynamics of the eastern Mediterranean region since the late Cretaceous

A Menant, L Jolivet, B Vrielynck - Tectonophysics, 2016 - Elsevier
The relationship between subduction dynamics and crustal deformation in the
Mediterranean region has been recently studied using three-dimensional (3D) models. Such …

Reconciling the geological history of western Turkey with plate circuits and mantle tomography

DJJ van Hinsbergen, N Kaymakci, W Spakman… - Earth and Planetary …, 2010 - Elsevier
We place the geological history since Cretaceous times in western Turkey in a context of
convergence, subduction, collision and slab break-off. To this end, we compare the west …
