About this title - The Geodynamics of the Aegean and Anatolia
The complexity of plate interactions and associated crustaldeformation in the Eastern Mediterranean region is reflectedby the numerous destructive earthquakes that have occurred throughoutits history. Many of these have been well documented and studied.In addition, the Aegean region provides examples of core-complexformation, synchronous basin evolution and subsequent grabenformation and continental extensional deformation followingorogenic contraction. It is therefore considered to be a perfectnatural laboratory for the study of these mechanisms. The regionhas been the subject of intensive research for several decades.This book contains current results and ideas regarding the geodynamicsof the Aegean and Anatolia. It will be essential reading forall geoscientists with an interest in the structural evolutionof the Eastern Mediterranean.
