Ductile and brittle shortening, extension-parallel folds and maintenance of crustal thickness in the central Aegean (Cyclades, Greece)

Article Abstract:

Research is presented concerning the arching and folding of normal faults which occurred in the Cycladic massif of Greece. Crustal thinning due to stretching and other geological features are discussed.

Oligo-Miocene midcrustal subhorizontal shear zone in Indochina

Article Abstract:

Research is presented concerning the analysis of structural observations of Red River Shear Zone deformations in north Vietnam which date from the Oligo-Miocene. The interpretation of strike-slip structures is discussed.

Back arc extension and denudation of Mediterranean eclogites

Article Abstract:

The link between back arc extensional tectonics and the emergence history of eclogite bearing units in the Cycladic islands in the Aegean Sea, in the island of Corsica and in the internal Betic Cordillera of the Alboran Sea, is examined. The tectonic style associated with the denudation of Mediterranean eclogites fits an active accretionary-wedge setting.
