Effects of Crustal Eclogitization on Plate Subduction/Collision Dynamics: Implications for India-Asia Collision

, 2016
2D thermo-mechanical models are constructed to investigate the effects of oceanic and continental crustal eclogitization on plate dynamics at three successive stages of oceanic subduction, slab breakoff, and continental subduction. Crustal eclogitization

Selected Physical and Geotechnical Properties of Loess in Wairarapa Valley, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Loess up to 10 m thick covers marine terraces, old river aggradation terraces, and gentle hill country slopes in Wairarapa, New Zealand. In the drier eastern and southern parts of Wairarapa, the loess is subject to dry summer and autumn and wet winter and spring in most years.

Late Cenozoic Sediment Provenance in the Northern Canterbury Basin, Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Late Cenozoic strata of the northern Canterbury Basin record uplift and erosion of mountain ranges adjacent to the transition from oblique subduction to strike‐slip on the Australian–Pacific plate boundary. Using the provenance of conglomerate clasts and sandstone samples, we reconstruct sediment transport pathways and, by inference, exhumation and ...

Late Pliocene–Quaternary Arc Volcanism at the Southern Limit of the Hikurangi Subduction Zone: Revised Chronology of the Taranaki Peninsula, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Igneous centres across the Taranaki Peninsula represent the southwestern limit of arc volcanism associated with the Tonga–Kermadec–Hikurangi subduction system. Taranaki Maunga, the youngest and largest of three andesitic stratovolcanoes, dominates the geomorphology of the Taranaki Peninsula along with the eroded remnants of the Kaitake and Pouakai ...

Cretaceous–Palaeogene Plate Boundary Evolution at the Pacific Margins of Zealandia and West Antarctica

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Improved satellite‐derived gravity data support updated interpretations and models of ancient plate boundaries and plate motions affecting Zealandia and West Antarctica. The models combine to confidently resolve hundreds of kilometres of Late Cretaceous–Eocene motion between the Pacific and Lord Howe plates, confirming that plate circuit constructions ...

Cretaceous to early Paleogene sediment provenance transition from continental to magmatic arc systems in the Northwestern Pacific Region

Scientific Reports
Unraveling the Paleo-Kuril Arc's origins is key to understanding northwest Pacific tectonics. The Paleo-Kuril Arc is viewed as an intraoceanic arc from trench subduction between the Izanagi and Pacific Plates.

Building a Continental‐Scale Geodetic Network: The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO)

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) transformed the use of geodesy in North America to study crustal deformation and plate boundary processes by establishing a continental‐scale, standardized, open‐access geodetic network. Built and operated by UNAVCO between 2003 and 2018 as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)‐funded EarthScope ...

Slab Subduction and Pull Link Magmatism at Active and Passive Continental Margins

Geophysical Research Letters
Subduction leads to voluminous arc magmatism at active continental margins; however, the potential far‐field geodynamic connections with coeval magmatism along opposing passive margins, are rarely investigated.

Negative Residual Topography in Global Back‐Arc Basins Scales With Slab Dip

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 21, 16 November 2026.
Abstract Dynamic topography above subduction zones is widely inferred, but its magnitude and controls remain poorly constrained at the global scale. Here, we estimate residual topography across a range of back‐arc basins by correcting bathymetry for sediment loading, crustal structure, and lithospheric age, and compare the anomalies with slab geometry ...
