"'Tectonic crossroads: evolving orogens of Eurasia-Africa-Arabia', Ankara, Turkey
[Event Date: 2010-10-03]
A conference entitled 'Tectonic crossroads: evolving orogens of Eurasia-Africa-Arabia' will take place from 3 to 8 October 2010 in Ankara, Turkey.
Situated at the intersection of the Eurasian, African and Arabian Plates, the eastern Mediterranean region is an area of high seismic and volcanic activity. This broad zone is dominated by crustal extension and shortening, as well as strike-slip faulting as part of collision-induced escape tectonics. The patterns and diversity of sedimentation, magmatism, metamorphism, crustal uplift, and deformation spectacularly record the region's complex history."
