Abstract
Neogene uplift of Olympus was likely facilitated by extension accompanying the opening of the Aegean back-arc basin during the Miocene as a result of the southward retreat of the Hellenic subduction zone. For the Pliocene-Recent, uplift was likely facilitated by extension linked to the termination of dextral motion at the western end of the North Anatolian Fault associated with the westward tectonic escape of Anatolia.
