Geological and Geochemical Analysis

The GPS‐derived velocity field (1988–2005) for the zone of interaction of the Arabian, African (Nubian, Somalian), and Eurasian plates indicates counterclockwise rotation of a broad area of the Earth's surface including the Arabian plate, adjacent parts of the Zagros and central Iran, Turkey, and the Aegean/Peloponnes…

We present and interpret Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements of crustal motions for the period 1988–1997 at 189 sites extending east‐west from the Caucasus mountains to the Adriatic Sea and north‐south from the southern edge of the Eurasian plate to the northern edge of the African plate. Sites on the norther…

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 North Anatolian Fault. ▪ Abstract The North Anatolian Fault (NAF) is a 1200-km-long dextral strike-slip fault zone that formed by progressive…

Turkey forms one of the most actively deforming regions in the world and has a long history of devastating earthquakes. The belter understanding of its neotectonic features and active tectonics would provide insight, not only for the country but also for the entire Eastern Mediterranean region. Active tectonics of Tur…

Abstract The Tethysides are a superorogenic complex flanking the Eurasian continent to the south and consisting of the Cimmerides and Alpides , products of Palaeo- and Neo-Tethys respectively. We here review their evolution, mainly on the basis of new maps showing the distribution of sutures, magmatic rocks, certain p…

Eastern Anatolia is regarded as one of the best examples of continental collision, represented by a 2 km high plateau. It displays shallow and diffuse seismicity, indicating that the crust is still being actively deformed. Perhaps the most striking aspect of Eastern Anatolia is the volume and compositional variability…

The East Anatolian High Plateau is a region of average ∼2 km elevation a.s.l. exhibiting active diffuse N‐S shortening and widespread Pliocene to recent volcanicity. Its elevation was hitherto thought to result from a presumed crustal thickness of ±55 km. Seismic data collected by a new network of 29 seismograph stati…
