Surface heat flow and lithospheric thermal structure of the northwestern Arabian Plate
… and southern Israel as part of the Sinai Microplate (SM). Having formed during Oligocene to Miocene rifting and break-up of the African and Arabian plates, the SM is characterized by a young and complex tectonic history. Resulting from the time thermal diffusion needs to pass through the …

Seismic attenuation of regional phases in the northern Middle East and the Tibetan Plateau
… zones, the northern Middle East and the Tibetan Plateau. The regional phase Q is typically assumed as the intrinsic Q, whose lateral variation suggests temperature structure of the crust and the uppermost mantle. In the northern Middle East, large varations in regional phase Q models are …

Seismic anisotropy and mantle flow beneath Africa and Arabia
… rifting, uplifting, and volcanism on the African plate remain enigmatic. The most popular hypotheses proposed for explaining these tectonic phenomena involve edge-driven small-scale mantle convection and the thermal or dynamic effects of one or more mantle plumes. In this study we use continental …

The crust and upper mantle structure of eastern Anatolia, Turkey from gravity modeling constrained by seismic data
… a young continental collision zone between the Arabian and Eurasian plates. The lithosphere in Eastern Anatolia is underlain by a low-velocity zone associated with asthenospheric flow in the upper mantle. The asthenospheric flow might have been caused by lithospheric delamination and slab …

Kinematics and Dynamics of Continental Deformation
… the shape and depth of the interface with the Arabian plate is constrained by modelling the depths and mechanisms of earthquakes across the region, and combining these with additional seismological constraints. These constraints on the subduction interface are used to investigate elastic strain …
