A Possible Tsunamigenic Near‐Trench Strike‐Slip Fault, Offshore North Ecuador–South Colombia
Abstract Seismic reflection and bathymetry collected along the Ecuador–Colombia obliquely convergent margin allow the first characterization of the NNE‐trending, near‐trench strike‐slip Ancon Fault in the possible source region of the 1906‐Mw8.6–8.8 and 1979‐Mw8.2 earthquakes, which produced devastating tsunamis.

Abstract The Lord Howe Rise (LHR), a submerged continental fragment of Zealandia offshore eastern Australia, provides a rare opportunity to investigate the fine‐scale structure of a magma‐poor rifted margin. This study applies full waveform inversion (FWI) of 2D marine wide‐angle seismic data acquired with densely deployed ocean‐bottom seismometers ...

Stad Slide: Preconditioning and failure of one of the world's largest megaslides
ABSTRACT Submarine landslides can generate tsunamis and pose risks to underwater infrastructure, but a lack of direct observations of such slides hinders our understanding of their development and hazard potential. Studying the morphology of past slides can offer insights into their preconditioning and failure.

Interplay Between Salt Tectonics and a Large Igneous Province in the Espírito Santo Basin (Brazil)
Abstract Salt tectonics provinces host numerous resources and are now targeted as potential areas of development for energy storage capacities such as underground storage in salt caverns. Sedimentary basins containing salt structures are common at passive margins where volcanic rocks, emplaced either during the lithospheric breakup or the post‐rift ...

Mississippian carbonate platforms in the East Irish Sea Basin developed not only on footwalls but also within hanging wall basins, controlled by inherited N–S faults. Seismic interpretation reveals complex growth geometries and platform demise, offering new insights into extensional tectonics and geothermal reservoir potential in structurally complex ...

The spatial interplay between updip clastic and carbonate depositional systems and downdip detrital and biogenic mud dominated depositional systems are mapped temporally using the sequence stratigraphic method to predict the occurrence of aquifers, petroleum reservoirs and organic‐rich deposits. ABSTRACT Middle to Upper Devonian strata preserved in the

Abstract The western delta fan in Jezero crater hosts one of Mars's best‐preserved examples of fluvial accretion surfaces, recently investigated by NASA's Perseverance Rover. Erosional windows reveal this geologic unit, which records evidence of fluvial point bar deposition.

Abstract In a subduction zone, variability in the buoyancy and structure of the downgoing plate impacts deformation patterns in the overriding plate. Thick and buoyant lithosphere or smaller‐scale indentors entering the trench can lead to significant relief development and exhumation. To investigate such processes, we target the Cenozoic reorganization

Depositional evolution of the upper Miocene complex. ABSTRACT To achieve net‐zero carbon emissions by 2050, gigatonnes of CO2 must be captured and stored in the subsurface. Screening and exploration of prospective storage sites have thus gained momentum in recent years.

Wave‐Influenced Deltas: Growth Through Cyclical Accretion of Barrier‐Spits and the Role of Mud
Abstract Wave‐influenced deltas are the most abundant delta type and are also potentially the most at‐risk to human‐caused changes, owing to the effects of wave‐driven sediment transport processes and the relatively short timescales on which they operate. Despite this, the processes controlling wave‐influenced growth are poorly understood, and the role
