Ulusal Araştırma Fonu Tarafından Desteklenmiş Proje, 2011 - 2019
CD-CAT is a 5-year (2011-16) project funded by the National Science Foundation, and has the main goal of investigating the surface-to-mantle dynamics of Anatolia (Turkey) during the transition from collision to escape tectonics in the Cenozoic.
Major questions are:
During the development of escape tectonics, what are the plate dynamics from the mantle to the Earth's surface, the origin and consequences of magmatism, the timing and mechanisms by which distributed strain became localized in large strike-slip faults, and the evolution of relief and landscape?
What are the effects of boundary conditions (collision of the Arabian plate to the east, extension of the Aegean to the west, subduction of the Aegean and Cyprian slabs below the Anatolian lithosphere) on the driving forces of tectonic escape?
