Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Mesohellenic Ophiolites include the Vourinos Complex, one of the founding localities of plate tectonic theory, as well as the Pindos, Othris, and Koziakas ophiolites. While all contributed significantly to the ophiolitic analogue in older studies, we invite new research and research syntheses that can aid in interpreting these ophiolites within a more “cutting-edge” research framework. What is their significance to the geotectonic setting of the Hellenides? Research topics on mineralization, ore geology, geochemistry, tectonics, and the Mesohellenic and Hellenide regional setting are welcome. This volume invites relevant studies on these and related ophiolites within the Hellenides.
