Neotectonics involves the study of the motions and deformations of the Earth's crust that are current or recent in geologic time. The Mediterranean region is one of the most important regions for neotectonics and related natural hazards. This volume focuses on the neotectonics of the Eastern Mediterranean region, which has experienced many major extensive earthquakes, including the devastating Izmit, Turkey earthquake on August 17, 1999. The event lasted for 37 seconds, killing around 17,000 people, injuring 44,000 people, and leaving approximately half a million people homeless. Since then, several North American, European, and Turkish research groups have studied the neotectonics and earthquake potential of the region using different geological and geophysical methods, including GPS studies, geodesy, and passive source seismology. Some results from their studies were presented in major North American and European geological meetings.This volume highlights the work involving the Eastern Mediterranean region, which has one of the world's longest and best studied active strike-slip (horizontal motion) faults: the east-west trending North Anatolian fault zone, which is very similar to the San Andreas fault in California. This volume features discussions of: Widespread applications in measuring plate motion that have strong implications in predicting natural disasters like earthquakes, both on a regional and a global scaleRecent motions, particularly those produced by earthquakes, that provide insights on the physics of earthquake recurrence, the growth of mountains, orogenic movements, and seismic hazardsUnique methodical approaches in collecting tectonophysical data, including field, seismic, experimental, computer-based, and theoretical approaches.Active Global Seismology is a valuable resource for geoscientists, particularly in the field of tectonophysics, geophysics, geodynamics, seismology, structural geology, environmental geology, and geoengineering.Read an interview with the editors to find out more:https://eos.org/editors-vox/neotectonics-and-earthquake-forecasting

A synthesis of current knowledge on global extensional tectonicsThe extension of Earth’s lithosphere occurs at divergent plate boundaries as well as in plate interiors. The geological, geochemical, and sedimentary processes of extension offer insights into topics ranging from the fundamentals of tectonics to the evolution of life.Extensional Tectonics: Rifting and Continental Extension reviews present-day knowledge of extensional tectonic processes and explores examples from around the world.Volume highlights include: Overview of extensional tectonic processes from continental rifting to oceanic basin formationIn-depth examination of extension along rift systems and rift marginsReview of post-collisional continental extensionExamples from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the AmericasInsights from observations, modeling, and 3D seismic data interpretation of extended terrainsThis book is one of a set of three in the collection Tectonic Processes: A Global View.Browse the first volume, Compressional Tectonics: Plate Convergence to Mountain Building.The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.

Compressional Tectonics
Plate Convergence to Mountain Building

A synthesis of current knowledge on collisional and convergent plate boundaries worldwideMajor mountain belts on Earth, such as the Alps, Himalayas, and Appalachians, have been built by compressional tectonic processes during continent-continent and arc-continent collisions. Understanding their formation and evolution is important because of the hazards associated with convergent and collisional plate boundaries, and because these mountain belts contain resources such as precious metals, rare earth elements, oil, gas, and coal.Compressional Tectonics: Plate Convergence to Mountain Building reviews our present-day knowledge of the tectonic evolution of the Alpine-Himalayan and Appalachian belts.Volume highlights include: Overview of terminology relating to compressional and contractional tectonicsDiscussion of subduction zone dynamicsDebates over the timing of the collision and convergence of particular subduction and suture zonesExamples of the different stages in the development of orogenic beltsThis book is one of a set of three in the collection Tectonic Processes: A Global View.
