Metamorphism of the Troodos Massif, Cyprus
… evidence supports the contention that the Troodos massif, Cyprus is a fragment of Mesozoic sea-floor created at a constructive plate margin. Here, the metamorphism and geochemistry of the dyke/pillow lava sequence at the top of the igreous succession are shown to be compatible with this …

The Geology of the Arakapas Fault Belt Area Troodos Massif, Cyprus
… evidence supports the contention that the Troodos massif, Cyprus is a fragment of Mesozoic sea-floor created at a constructive plate margin. Here the geology of an east-west striking fault zone in the southern part of the massif, the Arakapas Fault Belt (APB), is investigated and evidence …

Novel Insights into the Palaeomagnetism of Serpentinized Peridotites from the Troodos and Oman Ophiolites
… the focus of this thesis. The Late Cretaceous Troodos ophiolite of Cyprus that underwent a ~90° anticlockwise tectonic rotation that began shortly after it formed by seafloor spreading. The timing of this rotation is well-constrained by palaeomagnetic analysis of the sedimentary rocks that were …

Making oceanic plagiogranite bodies by thermal migration: evidence from the Agros transect, Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus
… basal sheeted dikes from the eastern side of the Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus (location near Agros). Major and trace element analysis and x-ray mapping were used to characterize the samples. Fe and Si isotopic ratios were measured by HR-MC-ICPMS. Results show both isotopic systems become heavier with …

Tectonic evolution of the Western Limassol Forest Complex, Cyprus
… anomalous ophioliteterrain in the south of the Troodos Massif. Detailed studies have revealed magmatic and structural histories that differ markedly from the Penrose-type ophiolite of the Troodos Massif to the north. In the WLFC, a tectonised harzburgite of upper mantle origin has been intruded …

The tectonic evolution of the Eastern Limassol Forest Complex, Cyprus
… (ELFC) lies at the southern margin of the Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus, and preserves a Penrose-type stratigraphy with a 4km-thick crustal sequence. The ELFC is separated from the main part of the Troodos Massif by an east-west trending fault zone, the Arakapas Fault Belt, which earlier …

Climatic and tectonic controls on deep water sedimentary cyclicity : evidence from the Miocene to Pleistocene of Cyprus
… The increasing abundance of tectonically derived Troodos material partially masks the climatically controlled sedimentation in the Pakhna Formation south of the Troodos massif.<br></br><br></br>Rapid Troodos uplift during the Pliocene-Pleistocene is demonstrated by the high abundance of ophiolite …

THE TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF THE HATAY OPHIOLITE OF SOUTHEAST TURKEY
… Neotethyan ophiolites that stretches from the Troodos ophiolite of Cyprus eastwards to the Semail ophiolite of Oman. The Hatay ophiolite and the related Baer-Bassit ophiolite of Syria comprise the most westerly ophiolites emplaced onto the Arabian platform in the Maastrichtian. The …

Ghost granophyre: A new texture with implications for plagiogranite differentiation and Ti-in-Quartz thermometry
… new cathodoluminescence texture of granophyre in Troodos quartz crystals which I argue results from pseudomorphic replacement of the albite in granophyre by quartz. In combination these observations point toward both a new model for plagiogranite differentiation via reactive flow of recently …

Rare earth element systematics in ancient and modem hydrothermal systems
… vent field, 26 N Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and 90 Myr Troodos Ophiolite, Cyprus. Ophiolites integrate a long (c. 20 Myr) history of seafloor alteration, which reflects both axial and off-axis hydrothermal processes. Spatially-resolved laser ablation inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometric (LA …

The primary structures and fabrics of the upper mantle and lower oceanic crust from ophiolite complexes
… the lower sequences of the Oman Ophiolite, the Troodos Ophiolite, Cyprus, and the Shetland Ophiolite have been studies in order to gain an understanding of the structural and kinematic history of the upper mantle and lowermost oceanic crust at accretionary margins. In all areas the mantle has …

The gaming stones of Arediou-Vouppes : exploring the past and creating identity through material remains
… production settlement at the foothills of the Troodos Massif. Primary attention will be given to the gaming stones discovered on the site during several seasons of survey and excavation, carried out under the direction of Dr. Louise Steel. I hope to demonstrate how such an aspect of material …

Settlement and community : their locations, limits and movement through the landscape of historical Cyprus
… of the Mesaoria up into the lower reaches of the Troodos mountains. The topographical cross section evident in my chosen areas gave me the opportunity to study the diversity of settlement across most of the range of habitats of the island, from the coast, through the plains, scrub and foot hills, …

Ανασύνθεση παλαιοπεριβάλλοντος σε παράκτιες γεωμορφές της νότιας Κύπρου με την χρήση τεχνικών φωταύγειας
… stone artefacts on an upland site, located in Troodos Mountain at the site of Vretsia-Roudias. The geoarchaeological investigation conducted at the site revealed the existence of clearly defined depositional episodes (palaeosols) leading to the identification of paleosurfaces. The finds, mostly …
