Evolution of the Greater Caucasus Basement and Formation of the Main Caucasus Thrust, Georgia
Tectonics, 2020 Abstract Along the northern margin of the Arabia‐Eurasia collision zone in the western Greater Caucasus, the Main Caucasus Thrust (MCT) juxtaposes Paleozoic crystalline basement to the north against Mesozoic metasedimentary and volcaniclastic rocks to the south.

Subducted, Detached, and Torn Slabs Beneath the Greater Caucasus [PDF]
GeoResJ, 2015 The Greater Caucasus Mountains contain the highest peaks in Europe and define, for over 850km along strike, the leading edge of the second-largest active collisional orogen on Earth. However, the mechanisms by which this range is being constructed remain

Basin Research, 2021 The Greater Caucasus orogen on the southern margin of Eurasia is hypothesized to be a young collisional system and may present an opportunity to probe the structural, sedimentary and geodynamic effects of continental collision. We present detrital zircon

Abstract We present and interpret newly determined site motions derived from GPS observations made from 2008 through 2016 in the Republic of Georgia, which constrain the rate and locus of active shortening in the Lesser–Greater Caucasus continental collision zone.

Between the Greater and Lesser Caucasus
2021This article presents a new study of three burial contexts from the important Tli graveyard located in the Southern Caucasus. The three tombs contained bronze belts with features mainly pertaining to an Assyro-Urartian tradition. An analysis of the belts’ iconographic apparatuses is given, together with a new chronological position proposed for the ...

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2018 Since the late Eocene, convergence and subsequent collision between Arabia and Eurasia was accommodated both in the overriding Eurasian plate forming the Greater Caucasus orogen and the Iranian plateau, and by subduction and accretion of the Neotethys ...

A New Look at the Old Deposit of the Greater Caucasus
Geomodel 2020, 2020Summary This paper stresses the need for reinterpretation of seismic data for brown fields on the basis of data from the field located on the territory of the Greater Caucasus. Emergence of new technologies stimulates operators to shift their focus to traditional oil provinces that were explored a long time ago.

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the Greater Caucasus
Geological Society, London, Memoirs, 2006Abstract The Greater Caucasus (GC) fold-and-thrust belt lies on the southern deformed edge of the Scythian Platform (SP) and results from the Cenozoic structural inversion of a deep marine Mesozoic basin in response to the northward displacement of the Transcaucasus (lying south of the GC) subsequent to the Arabia-Eurasia collision.
