Authored by Dominic Hildebrandt. At the end of March, four team members of the SGT Group went to Syros to conduct field work in the northern part of the island. The main goal of this field campaign was to collect structural geological field data, drone imagery and samples, mainly for my M.Sc. thesis project and complementing other research going on

In case you didn’t know… Syros represents a fossil subduction shear zone. Rocks were brought to eclogite facies conditions in the Eocene and exhumed through the Miocene, partially along the plate interface and partially by crustal scale low-angle normal faults of the North and West Cycladic Detachment Systems. We go there to study the structural and rheological evolution of several different
