Backstripping a representative stratigraphic column from the northwest of the South Caspian basin shows that 2.4 km of tectonic subsidence has occurred since ca. 5.5 Ma, at 1.5–10 times the rate recorded in typical foreland basins. Roughly half the b... Read More about Onset of subduction as the cause of rapid Pliocene-Quaternary subsidence in the South Caspian Basin.
