TLDR
In this paper, the authors used uplifted marine terraces across principal faults on the Sinop Peninsula at the central northern side of the Pontide orogenic wedge to unravel patterns of Quaternary faulting and orogenistic wedge behavior.About:

TL;DR: In this paper, a global synthesis of sea-level changes for the following highstands: MIS 1, MIS 3, MIS 5e and MIS 11 is presented, along with an age for the uppermost, purported oldest shoreline in each sequence.

Linking slab break-off, Hellenic trench retreat, and uplift of the Central and Eastern Anatolian plateaus
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used tomography, deep seismicity, and gravity data to identify probable mechanisms of Anatolian Plateau growth and showed that the changeover from shortening to extension along the southern margin of Central Anatolia that is coeval with the start of uplift can be most easily associated with oceanic slab breakoff and tearing.

Neogene Uplift and Magmatism of Anatolia: Insights From Drainage Analysis and Basaltic Geochemistry
TL;DR: In this article, a geomorphic database of 1,844 longitudinal river profiles is used to calculate the 18======variation of Neogene regional uplift through time and space by minimizing the misbehavior between observed and calculated river profiles.

Quaternary uplift rates of the Central Anatolian Plateau, Turkey: Insights from cosmogenic isochron-burial nuclide dating of the Kizilirmak River terraces
Attila Çiner,Uğur Doğan,Cengiz Yıldırım,Naki Akçar,Susan Ivy-Ochs,Vasily Alfimov,Peter W. Kubik,Christian Schlüchter +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used cosmogenic burial and isochron-burial dating methods with 10Be and 26Al as their absolute dating can provide insight into long-term incision rates, uplift and climatic changes.

Segmentation of the 2010 Maule Chile earthquake rupture from a joint analysis of uplifted marine terraces and seismic-cycle deformation patterns
TL;DR: In this paper, permanent and seismic-cycle deformation patterns along the rupture zone of the 2010 Maule earthquake (M8.8), which ruptured 500 kilometres of the Chile subduction margin, are compared.

Luminescence dating of quartz using an improved single aliquot regenerative-dose protocol
Andrew S. Murray,Ann G. Wintle +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the interpretation of the sensitivity corrected growth curve as a function of dose, and the effect of changing measurement conditions (e.g., preheat temperature, size of test dose, stimulation temperature) on the estimation of De.

Cosmic ray contributions to dose rates for luminescence and ESR dating: Large depths and long-term time variations
John R. Prescott,J.T. Hutton +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the contribution of cosmic rays to the dose rates for TL/ESR dating depends on altitude, latitude and depth below ground level, and the effects are shown to be small over the past 500 ka in most circumstances.
Active tectonics of Mediterranean region
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined more than 100 fault plane solutions for earthquakes within the Alpide belt between the Mid-Atlantic ridge and Eastern Iran and found that the deformation at present occurring is the result of small continental plates moving away from Eastern Turkey and Western Iran.

TL;DR: In this article, an elastic block model was developed to constrain present-day plate motions (relative Euler vectors), regional deformation within the interplate zone, and slip rates for major faults.
