TL;DR: In this paper, Mersin et al. presented new U-Pb zircon age determinations by LA-MC-ICP-MS and 40 Ar 39 Ar age dating of selected ophiolites (Mersin, Pozanti-Karsanti, Pinarbasi and Divrigi) along the Inner Tauride suture zone.

TL;DR: Nakano et al. as discussed by the authors applied the Sm/Nd isochron mineral dating technique on lenses of ophiolitic rocks of the Song Ma suture zone, revealing crystallization ages of 387-313 Ma for titanites extracted from the mafic components (metagabbros, metabasalts).

TL;DR: This article provided new isotopic and stratigraphical data from the Intra-Pontide suture zone, which indicate Early Cretaceous collision between the Sakarya and Istanbul terranes.

TL;DR: Meghraoui et al. as discussed by the authors established a network of 57 GPS sites in NW Syria and in SE Turkey, and the first campaign was carried out in September 2009; a second took place in September and November 2010 and a third (only in Turkey) in September 2011.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors re-examine earlier postulates that thermally anomalous asthenosphere was displaced laterally prior to and during the Early Tertiary India-Asia collision, serving as a potential driver of lithosphere extrusion while allowing for localized, transtensional mantle melting.

TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of the Manisa Basin has been studied and it was shown that the basin was initially formed as a lacustrine basin bounded by a volcanic ridge from the west; it was subsequently uplifted and deformed probably as a result of Pliocene wrench-dominated strike-slip tectonics, which is characterized by NNW-SSE horizontal σ3 and vertical σ2.

TL;DR: In this paper, GPS data acquired by a network of 262 permanent stations, working over various time intervals since 2001, was used to analyze the present vertical kinematic pattern in Central and Northern Italy, where uplift is observed in the Alps and Apennines, whereas subsidence is recognized in the southern Venetian Plain and the eastern Po Valley.

TL;DR: Ankara Ophiolitic Melange (AOM) as discussed by the authors is a chaotic tectono-sedimentary mixture made up of detached blocks of Mesozoic ultramafic rocks, Cretaceous pillow basalts, Upper Jurassic-Cretaceous limestones and closely associated Upper cretaceous basinal sequences.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors processed 30-s GPS data from continuous GPS stations in central Greece using the Kalman filtering approach and accounting for time-correlated noise content obtaining a velocity field in the ITRF2008 and the Eurasian fixed reference frame.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analysis of 30-s GPS data from five (5) continuous stations of NOANET (NOA permanent GPS network) spanning the period 2007-2010.

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical model was proposed for the generation of the three regional-scale dyke swarms (the Narmada-Tapi dyke swarm, the Nasik-Pune dykel swarm and the West Coast dyke Swarm) within the Deccan Large Igneous Province (LIP) on the basis of the geological evolution of Decca LIP and the orientations of dyck swarms, which were modelled with finite element method (FEM) in three stages (stages I-III).

TL;DR: In this article, an integrated study on the stratigraphic and structural features of the Buyuk Menderes Graben, Western Anatolia, has indicated that the tectonic evolution of Soke Basin includes extension-dominated transtension.

TL;DR: In this paper, the surface deformation along the North Tabriz Fault (NTF) was deduced from Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) technique.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the results of a combination of geodetic and seismological data around the Karliova Triple Junction (KTJ), which lies at the intersection of the North and East Anatolian Fault Systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the Vening-Meinesz Moritz inverse problem of isostasy was applied to evaluate the differences between the isostatic and seismic Moho models and showed that the application of the additional non-isostatic correction further improved the agreement between the Moho model derived based on gravity and seismic data.

TL;DR: The late Permian granitoids exposed in the Phan Si Pan zone of northwestern Vietnam consist mainly of the Ye Yen Sun metaluminous granites and the Nam Xe-Tam Duong peralkaline granites as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the amplitude and phase variations of free core nutation (FCN) were derived from VLBI observations and compared with the epochs of the changes in the FCN amplitude and phases of geomagnetic jerks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) to study terrestrial water storage variations (TWS) at medium and large spatial scales, providing quantitative measures of TWS change.

TL;DR: The main episode of Pliocene-Quaternary tectonic activity in the Red River Fault Zone in Vietnam was related to dextral strike-slip motions while uplift of the SW and NE sides of the fault zone was limited as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the Ailao Shan-Red River Shear Zone of NW Vietnam is part of a suture zone between two continental blocks (the IndoChina Block and the South China Block) or whether it is itself of intracontinental origin, developed within the south China margin.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed geological and petrological observations show that subdivision of the Karakaya Complex based on differences in metamorphism does little to decipher the geological evolution of the complex.

TL;DR: In this paper, detailed geological mapping combined with micro-structural and petrological investigation allowed to clarify the tectono-metamorphic relationships between continental and oceanic units transition in the Penninic domain of the Western Alps.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report geochemical, isotopic, and 40 Ar/39 Ar age data for samples from both the pre-escape and post-escape K-rich Puer, Maguan-Pingbian basalts and basanites.

TL;DR: In this article, the ITRF2000 solutions for point absolute motion rates of the study area GPS data collected at 27 stations in northern Vietnam from 1994 to 2007 have shown that the southwestern and northeastern sides of the Red River Fault are moving eastward at the same rate of 345 ± 1 mm/yr and southward, at slightly different velocities of 12 ± 1mm/yr.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used GPS observations on a network of 5 survey points established in 1972 by the General Command of Mapping across the creeping segment to determine the present-day creep rate.
