3.7.6. Specific targets/issues of interest to TOPO-EUROPE on the Caucasus and Levant

 

  • Establishing a chronology of tectonic geomorphology in the Greater Caucasus
  • Quantifying uplift/erosion rates and mass transfer in source-sink systems
  • Numerical and analogue modelling of coupled deep Earth – surface processes in the Greater Caucasus
  • Quantifying the dynamics of Arabia-Europe interactions by means of mantle tomography
  • Quantifying the timing of formation of differential topography in the Levant and adjacent Eastern Mediterranean area
  • High-resolution lake drilling for quantifying the interplay of tectonics and climate
