Looking Under the Orogenic Lid—Assessing the European Basement Beneath the Alpine Wedge by U‐Pb Zircon Geochronology

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Following continental collision, the distal European margin was overridden by the Alpine wedge and is now largely concealed beneath the mostly intact orogenic lid. Consequently, the geological evolution and nature of the hidden basement domains remain poorly constrained.

Marine Geophysical Investigation of a Fault Ruptured During the 2012 Mw 8.6 Wharton Basin Earthquake

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The 2012 Mw 8.6 and 8.2 Wharton Basin earthquakes, within an intraplate deformation zone in the Indian Ocean, are the largest instrumentally recorded strike‐slip earthquakes on Earth that challenged the prevailing view that great earthquakes occur only at well‐defined plate boundaries.

Episodic Arc Behavior in an Accretionary Orogen: Insights From the New England Orogen, Eastern Australia

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology from Triassic–Jurassic basins in the New England Orogen (NEO) constrains sediment provenance and episodic continental arc evolution along the eastern Gondwanan margin. Dominant zircon clusters at 270–230 Ma and 340–300 Ma in these basins were likely sourced from contemporaneous magmatism in the NEO ...

High Temporal Resolution Record of Flare‐Up Magmatism Reveals Tectonic and Local Controls on Crustal Thickening in the Cretaceous Continental Arc of the North Cascades

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Magmatic output in continental arcs is often variable, with short‐lived flare‐ups separated by prolonged lulls. Flare‐ups commonly coincide with increased crustal thickness, which has been interpreted as both a cause and a consequence of elevated magmatism.

Magma Channeling and Crustal Structure of a STEP Fault From Integrated Geological and Geophysical Data: The Central Aeolian Volcanoes (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea)

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Arc volcanism is commonly interpreted as the surface expression of subduction‐related magmatism and its spatial organization is often controlled by lithospheric structures. In arc‐back‐arc systems, slab retreat may promote the transition from compression to extension and the development of Subduction‐Transform Edge Propagator (STEP) faults ...
