“…In the general context, the Antalya Miocene basin consists of Miocene marine to non‐marine clastic sediments, Miocene neritic limestones and Pliocene to Recent marine sediments, clastic terrestrials, and travertines. Neogene marine sediments of the Antalya Basin lie at elevations up to 1,500 m today (Çiner et al., 2008; Kanbur & Öğretmen, 2022; Karabıyıkoğlu et al., 2000) (Figure 1d).…”

“…The westward escape and counterclockwise rotation of the Anatolian microplate triggered a compressional "Aksu Phase" and deformed the Late Miocene-Late Pliocene formations, forming the N-NW trending 100 km long Aksu Thrust Zone (Çiner et al, 2008;Glover & Robertson, 1998b;Poisson et al, 2003Poisson et al, , 2011. The last deformational phase is the NE-SW, and E-W directed neotectonic extensional regime that occurred between the latest Pliocene and Recent (Glover & Robertson, 1998b;Howell et al, 2017;Kanbur & Öğretmen, 2022;Schildgen et al, 2012b;Üner et al, 2015).…”

The southwestern margin of the Central Anatolian Plateau corresponds to the upper crust of the subduction between African and Anatolian plates, with a high relief of up to 2 km. This mountainous region has distinctive geomorphological features and presents a unique setting to investigate the mechanism of orogenic plateau margin development related to subduction and topographic evolution around the Eastern Mediterranean. We present new kinematic data from exposed fault planes and tectonic landforms from high‐resolution digital elevation models to elucidate the deformation pattern and its relation with the crustal deformation. We evaluate the deformation pattern based on the spatial distribution of kinematic analyses and geomorphic markers like low relief upland surfaces, disrupted karst basins, knickpoints, and deep bedrock incisions from watershed to shoreline. Our geomorphic analysis reveals a post‐orogenic transient actively deforming topography. The geomorphic markers constrain long‐term surface uplift pattern with a mean cumulative surface uplift of 1,710 ± 50 m and shows an increasing trend from west to east, from 1,600 ± 50 to 1,800 ± 50 m. Our results suggest a dome‐like uplift pattern in the west‐east direction across the southern margin that reaches up to maximum cumulative uplift values in the quadrangle of Alanya‐Başyayla‐Ermenek‐Gazipaşa. Our kinematic measurements along the youngest generation of faults revealed an active NE‐SW extensional deformation across a broad 200 km zone in the north of the subduction. Our findings have significant implications for understanding the morphotectonic evolution and post‐orogenic deformation in the plateau margins and geodynamic evolution of the Eastern Mediterranean.
