The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in

Geodynamic conditions for Cenozoic activation of tectonic structures in Southeastern Mongolia

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2018
The knowledge of the neotectonic structures inSoutheastern Mongolia, that is considerably distant from the active plate boundaries, is important for determining a source of tectonic deformation and regular features of activation in the intracontinental ...

Body Size Regulates Niche Overlap Asymmetry in the Subtropical Andes Rain Shadow: Isotopic Paleoecology of Oligocene South American Ungulates

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

Formation and evolution of the Yuncheng Salt Lake and sources of the saline ions

Dizhi lixue xuebao
Objective  Yuncheng Salt Lake, located within the core area of the Fenwei Graben System in the south-central part of the North China Craton, is the earliest known salt lake in China and worldwide. The formation and evolution of the Yuncheng Salt Lake are

Rifts, orogens, cratons, and global tectonics: Introduction

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2017
A key role in developing the Earth theory is played by comparative studies of orogens, rifts, and platforms in the equatorial, middle and high latitudes of Asia and the adjacent Arctic regions.

Pliocene adakite-like accent of andesites and dacites from the Orlov volcanic field (Sakhalin Island)

Геосистемы переходных зон, 2021
Adakite-like geochemical signature (high Sr/Y ratio at a low Y concentration) is recognized in andesites and dacites, associated with intraplate basalts in the Orlov volcanic field of Sakhalin Island.

Surface Ocean Cooling in the Eocene North Atlantic Coincides With Declining Atmospheric CO2

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
The Eocene (56–34 million years ago) is characterized by declining sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the low latitudes (∼4°C) and high southern latitudes (∼8–11°C), in accord with decreasing CO2 estimates.

Cenozoic Tectonics Ignite Mitochondrial Codon Innovations Propelling Canid Body Size Evolution and Transcontinental Radiations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We decode mitochondrial genomes across all extant canids, revealing lineage‐specific codon optimization driven by altitude, predation, and body size. A tripartite framework integrates geological events, metabolic constraints, and adaptive radiation to explain carnivore evolution.

PERIODIZATION OF RECENT AND LATE PLEISTOCENE – HOLOCENE GEODYNAMIC AND PALEOCLIMATIC PROCESSES

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
Based on comparative analyses of spatial and temporal patterns of high- and medium-potassic basaltic eruptions in the Central Mongolia and marine survey records of Sr isotopes, it is revealed that the start of the recent geodynamic stage in the Central ...
