Cosmogenic nuclides are invaluable tools for quantifying denudation and uplift rates thus decoding geological processes that act over different timescales leave distinct imprints on the Earth’s surface. Among these, meteoric ¹⁰Be has emerged as a particularly powerful proxy due to its unique capability of being measured independently lithology. Meteoric 10Be is an atmospheric flux tracer, when normalized stable 9Be, trace element released by rocks during...

Convergent plate boundaries are among the most dynamic regions on Earth. These active margins, shaped by interplay of tectonics, erosion, and climate, characterised highest topography extensive sediment transport across vast distances. In such complex systems, lithology plays a crucial role, not only influencing rock resistance to deformation, weathering, but also posing challenges application dating rate-determination techniques that rely specific target minerals. Carbonate landscapes, in...

Accretionary orogens grow through frontal accretion and crustal underplating, that contribute to thickening by scraping slices of continental crust from the downgoing plate. Although geophysical data provide insights into deep structure these orogens, understanding modes in retreating subduction systems surface responses processes, remains challenging.This study focuses on Albanides-Hellenides, a long-lived orogen Mediterranean resulted eastward Adria plate beneath Eurasia since Late...

The orogenic belt of the Albanian Dinarides in central-eastern Mediterranean results from eastward subduction Adriatic microplate beneath Eurasia since Early Cretaceous. exhibits compression west, at front wedge, and extension east, internal sector, consist NW-SE oriented geological domains that record a long polyphasic evolution. In Cretaceous, obduction Mid Jurassic ophiolite was followed by continental Eocene led to development flexed foreland external Meso-Cenozoic platform-basin system....

The Albanian Dinarides represent the central segment of Dinarides–Hellenides orogenic belt. sector is strategically located at boundary between continental subduction to north and oceanic south, making it an ideal setting explore interplay surface deep geological processes. Furthermore, modern seismicity (e.g. 1979, Mw 7.1 Montenegro, 2019, 6.4 Durres earthquakes) geomorphic features indicate ongoing tectonic activity least since late Quaternary. In this study, we landscape...

The Northern Hellenides are located on the eastern margin of Adria plate, and represent central segment Dinarides-Hellenides orogenic belt. Situated at junction between continental subduction to north oceanic south, Albanian region offers a prime location for studying interaction surface deep geological processes in Central Mediterranean area. coexistence compressive extensional tectonic styles over short distances strongly contributes shaping landscape (Burchfiel et al., 2008), it is still...

Located in the central-eastern Mediterranean, Albanides are a subduction orogen formed by accretion of slices continental lithosphere scraped off the upper plate during eastward of Adria. This has promoted NE-SW shortening that started Late Cretaceous and continues to present. Despite advancements geophysical studies, aimed at understanding illuminating deep structures, dynamics crustal within zone remain challenging. We investigate recent...

Abstract Subduction orogens grow by accretion of slices continental lithosphere scraped off the downgoing slab. Although seismological and geophysical data now illuminate deep structure these orogens, understanding crustal underplating dynamics remains challenging. This study focuses on Albanides, a subduction orogen in central‐eastern Mediterranean, formed material during eastward Adria beneath Eurasia. The thickening at depth edifice occurred along with development shallow fold‐and‐thrust...
