Metamorphic Map of the Eastern Mediterranean Realm

2004年，代表CGMW发表了一份新的阿尔卑斯变质构造图（Oberhänsli et al., 2004）。自2001年我被任命为教科文组织世界地质图委员会小组委员会主席以来，我一直协调这一倡议。随后，我开始担任世界变形地图的协调员，这是一个后续项目，应该以爱琴海-近东地区的类似地图汇编结束，包括希腊和土耳其，最终是亚美尼亚以及伊朗东北部。在过去的几年里，实地工作证实了高压岩石在土耳其西南部的广泛分布，在Anatolia - taurid区块沿着Afyon区和Anatolia东部的Bitlis地块（我的工作组）。土耳其的同事们关注的是庞泰德和萨卡里亚区块。这些新发现增加了对土耳其地球动力学演变的新看法，并补充了希腊、德国和法国同事在爱琴海领域的工作，以及亚美尼亚和法国同事在小高加索地区的工作。然而，对变质区域的新观察并不密集，它们的地球动力学解释在土耳其和小高加索地区远不如在爱琴海地区那么好地呈现和理解。然而，东地中海王国的变质地图并不存在，但在我们的后续CGMW项目中正在建设中。为了成功地编制计划中的变质地图访问数据，以便与希腊、土耳其、亚美尼亚和伊朗的同事讨论。为了收集相关的缺失数据并合并关键数据，我们还计划在伊斯坦布尔举行一次联合总结会议。

2004 a new map of the metamorphic structure of the Alps was published on behalf of CGMW (Oberhänsli et al., 2004). I co-ordinated this initiative since 2001 when I was appointed President of the sub-commission of the UNESCO Commission of the Geologic Map of the World, CGMW. Subsequently I started as co-ordinator of the World Metamorphic Maps a follow- up project that should end in a similar map compilation for the Aegean - Near East region, including Greece and Turkey, and eventually Armenia as well as NE Iran. During the last years fieldwork has confirmed a wide distribution of high-pressure rocks in SW Turkey, in the Anatolian-Taurid block along the Afyon Zone and the Bitlis Massif in Eastern Anatolia (my working group). Turkish colleagues focused on the Pontides and the Sakaria Blocks. These new findings added to a new vision of the geodynamic evolution of Turkey and complemented ongoing work by Greek, German and French colleagues in the Aegean realm, as well as the work of Armenian and French colleagues in the Lesser Caucasus. However, the new observations on metamorphic regions are not as dense and their geodynamic interpretation is by far not as well presented and understood in Turkey and the Lesser Caucasus as they are in the Aegean realm. Yet a metamorphic map of the Eastern Mediterranean Realm does not exist, but is under construction in our follow-up CGMW project. In order to compile successfully the data for the planned metamorphic map visits for discussion with colleagues in Greece, Turkey, Armenia and Iran are needed. To gather relevant missing data and merge critical data we plan additionally a joint wrap-up meeting in Istanbul.
