The Aegean Blueschist Belt is one of the most studied extensional zones on Earth. However still there is disagreement as to the complex tectonic history and exhumation of the HP/LT eclogite and blueschist rocks. New and extensive geochronology studies with meso-scale and micro-scale structural analysis of the complexly deformed central Aegean is being undertaken so as determine the different stages of evolution and to have a new look at the processes and models associated with the exhumation HP-LT rocks as well as a renewed look at the timing of extension in the Aegean micro-plate.
