We invite contributions on the tectonics of the Balkan Peninsula and the adjacent Adriatic and Aegean Sea from all research fields: neotectonics, seismics, geochemistry, thermo-chronology, structural geology, metamorphic and magmatic petrology, sedimentology, regional geology, and mechanical/numerical modeling. We are interested in subjects as (i) the distribution and geometry of seismic activity and the present day wedge mechanics, (ii) extension in the hangingwall of the subduction zone through space and time, (iii) the transition from continental to oceanic subduction in space and time, (iv) formation and exhumation of high-pressure and ultra-high-pressure metamorphic rocks (v) large magmatic events during orogeny, and (vi) the large scale slab mechanics.
