Reorganization of Northern Peri-Gondwanan Terranes at Cambrian–Ordovician Times: Insights from the Detrital Zircon Record of the Ossa-Morena Zone (SW Iberian Massif)

Lithosphere, 2022
The Ossa-Morena Zone constitutes a fringe Gondwana-related terrane all along the Paleozoic. This continental block has been classically interpreted as being attached to a portion of the northern Gondwanan margin located close to the West African Craton ...

Restoring the Missing Late Cretaceous Arc of Iran

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Persistent arc magmatism archives fluid transport and mantle partial melting in subduction zones. However, arc magmatism often exhibits different magmatic records along the strike, as seen in the Tethyan orogenic belt. During Neo‐Tethys subduction under Iran, there was pulsed arc magmatism with Middle Jurassic and Eocene magmatic flare‐ups ...

Lithotectonic units of the Cabeço de Vide Massif (Ossa-Morena Zone, SW Iberian Massif): a bedrock map to decipher superimposed orogenies

Journal of Maps
This study provides a new cartographic framework for a geologically complex region in the SW Iberian Massif (central-east Portugal). We have redefined lithological ensembles and clarified structural relationships between rock types (unconformities and ...

Tracking Sediment Mixing Along the Lower Danube River From the Carpathians to the Black Sea

Terra Nova, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 413-420, December 2025.
ABSTRACT We use detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology as a sediment provenance tracer in modern river sands to better understand how tectonic, climatic, and anthropogenic processes modulate sediment transport dynamics of the Carpathians to the Black Sea source to sink system.

Effect of Deformation Mechanisms on Magnetic Record in Marble Shear Zones

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Processes that form and deform any rock leave distinct imprints on its microstructure. The description and interpretation of these microstructural features aids in understanding rock's evolution. The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility is widely regarded as a method for characterizing rock microstructures.

Detrital zircon similarities and dissimilarities between the Iberian Pyrite Belt, Ossa-Morena Zone and Meguma

Geologica Acta, 2023
Despite the so-called exotic nature of the South Portuguese Zone relatively to the other major domains of the Iberian Massif of peri-Gondwanan affinity, Devonian detrital rocks of the oldest strata in the Iberian Pyrite Belt have a remarkable ...

Unveiling Cenozoic Volcanism in the Takab‐Shahindezh Area Induced by Slab‐Mantle Interaction in the Zagros Orogen, NW Iran

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The Zagros orogen records the closure of the Neotethys Ocean by northward subduction of the oceanic slab beneath the Iranian plate. Northwestern Iran has undergone episodic volcanism since the Eocene, due to a shift of tectonic regimes from subduction to collision and post‐collisional extension, although the dynamics responsible for such ...

Coupling Phase Equilibrium Modelling and Apatite‐in‐Garnet Elastic Barometry to Unravel the P–T Path of the Micaschist Unit From the Zicavo Metamorphic Complex (Corsica, France)

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 681-705, September 2025.
ABSTRACT To gain insights into the pressure–temperature evolution of a scarcely studied portion of the Variscan basement of Corsica in southern Europe, we combined phase equilibrium modelling, Zr‐in‐rutile thermometry and apatite‐in‐garnet elastic barometry. We investigated Grt‐St micaschist rocks containing garnet grains of several millimetres in size

Continental‐Hemispheric Scale Dust Events Driven by Last Glacial Alpine Ice Sheet Dynamics

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 13, 16 July 2025.
Abstract Greenland ice cores demonstrate that transient last glacial cold climate events (stadials) were associated with greatly enhanced atmospheric dust loading. Detailed radiocarbon dating of loess in central Europe reveals concurrent increases in dust activity in dust‐emitting regions.

Rupture and Relamination of Continental Lithosphere in a Subduction System (Variscan Orogeny, SW Iberia)

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Relamination is closely connected to subduction zones. Despite the numerous high‐P metamorphic belts recognized on Earth, relamination remains a poorly documented process. We present a continental subduction zone where the exhuming high‐P rocks became a relaminant under the upper plate.
