Metamorphic Map of the Eastern Mediterranean Realm

2004年，代表CGMW出版了阿尔卑斯山变质构造的新地图(Oberhänsli等人，2004年)。自2001年我被任命为教科文组织世界地质图委员会分委员会主席以来，我一直负责协调这一行动。随后，我开始担任世界变质地图的协调人，这是一个后续项目，最终应该会为爱琴海-近东地区(包括希腊和土耳其，最终是亚美尼亚以及伊朗东北部)编制类似的地图。在过去几年中，野外调查证实，土耳其西南部、沿Afyon地带的Anatolian-Taurid区块和东Anatolia的Bitlis地块(我的工作组)广泛分布着高压岩石。土耳其同事们的重点是庞迪兹和萨卡里亚区块。这些新的发现增加了对土耳其地球动力学演化的新看法，并补充了希腊、德国和法国同事在爱琴海领域正在进行的工作，以及亚美尼亚和法国同事在小高加索地区的工作。然而，关于变质区域的新观测并不像在爱琴海地区那样密集，它们的地球动力学解释在土耳其和小高加索地区也远没有在爱琴海地区那么好地呈现和理解。然而，东地中海地区的变质地图并不存在，但在我们后续的CGMW项目中正在建设中。为了成功地编制计划中的变质图的数据，需要访问希腊、土耳其、亚美尼亚和伊朗的同事进行讨论。为了收集相关的缺失数据和合并关键数据，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.
