Sedimentology of silica granules and haematite in the 3.47 Ga Antarctic Creek Member, Mount Ada Basalt, Western Australia

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Paleoarchean Antarctic Creek Member of the Mount Ada Basalt, Eastern Pilbara Terrane, Western Australia, includes beds of jasper and white chert composed of sand‐sized silica granules that often contain or are mixed with silt‐sized particles of haematite.

Structural Evolution of the Eastern Nankai Trough accretionary prism, Central Japan—Subduction of Trough-Parallel Seamount Chains

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
The Nankai Trough, offshore of Southwest Japan, represents a plate subduction zone where a long history of devastating mega-earthquake and tsunami events has been best documented.

Resistance training load does not determine resistance training‐induced hypertrophy across upper and lower limbs in healthy young males

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend In healthy young males, we found that skeletal muscle hypertrophy following a period of resistance exercise training (RET) was consistent within and between subjects, as assessed using a variety of established methods. The skeletal muscle hypertrophic response was independent of external load.

Magmatic and geotectonic significance of Santa Elena Peninsula, Costa Rica

Geologica Acta, 2006
We present a new integrated interpretation of the geochemistry and geotectonic significance of the Santa Elena Peninsula, which is divided in three units: 1) an overthrust allocthonous unit of ultramafic and mafic rocks, the Santa Elena Nappe; 2) an ...

Bathymetric Signatures of Submarine Forearc Deformation: A Case Study in the Nankai Accretionary Prism

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Large earthquakes and tsunamis in subduction zone forearcs occur via slip on the shallow plate boundary and upper plate faults, but the locations, geometries, and slip histories of these faults can be difficult to constrain in regions with minimal ...

Geochemistry of volcanic rocks and dykes from the Remeshk-Mokhtarabad and Fannuj-Maskutan Ophiolites (Makran Accretionary Prism, SE Iran): New constraints for magma generation in the Middle East neo-Tethys

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2023
The Remeshk-Mokhtarabad and Fannuj-Maskutan ophiolites represent two major ophiolitic units in the North Makran Domain (Makran Accretionary Prism).

Pleistocene Mass Transport Deposits Off Barbados Accretionary Prism (Lesser Antilles) [PDF]

, 2016
Two Pleistocene mass transport deposits (MTDs), with volumes of thousands of km3, have been identified from multi-channel seismic data in the abyssal plain at the front of the Barbados accretionary prism. Estimated sediment volumes for these MTDs are likely underestimated due to limited seismic coverage.

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Alteration and dehydration of subducting oceanic crust within subduction zones: implications for décollement step-down and plate-boundary seismogenesis

Earth, Planets and Space, 2017
The alteration and dehydration of predominantly basaltic subducting oceanic crustal material are thought to be important controls on the mechanical and hydrological properties of the seismogenic plate interface below accretionary prisms.

Evolution of Pore Fluid Pressure in an Accretionary Outer Wedge Over Megathrust Earthquake Cycles: The Northern Cascadia Example

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
The evolution of pore fluid pressure ( Pf$P_{\mathrm{f}}$) in the most seaward portion of a subduction accretionary prism plays an essential role in the cycle of tsunamigenic earthquakes. Based on recent geophysical observations, here we propose a testable conceptual model for this evolution for northern Cascadia offshore of Washington.
