Ferromanganese nodules and micro-hardgrounds associated with the Cadiz Contourite Channel (NE Atlantic): Palaeoenvironmental records of fluid venting and bottom currents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Ferromanganese nodule fields and hardgrounds have recently been discovered in the Cadiz Contourite Channel in the Gulf of Cadiz (850–1000 m). This channel is part of a large contourite depositional system generated by the Mediterranean Outflow Water ...

Stress and Rock Failure Near Salt Bodies: Insights From Field Observations, Kinematic Modeling, and Mechanical Analysis Near Arches National Park, Paradox Basin, Utah

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Salt's inherent weakness and capacity for ductile deformation create significant mechanical contrasts that locally perturb the stress field in surrounding rocks, often leading to deviations from regional tectonic stresses. Variations in local stress are a critical factor for wellbore stability, seal integrity, and fluid flow in subsurface ...

Chemical‐Thermomechanical Modeling of Open‐System Mass Transfer: Application to the Subduction Interface

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract One of the main limitations in simulating subsolidus metasomatism is the decoupling between thermomechanical models and chemical/thermodynamic modeling. This decoupling amplifies the uncertainty associated with mass transport. Here, we introduce a fluid‐rock chemical‐thermomechanical interaction scheme, which integrates thermodynamic modeling (

Study on the planar structure characteristics of mud diapirs in Rio del Rey basin , West Coast of Africa(非洲西海岸里奥-德雷盆地泥底辟平面地质结构特征研究)

open access: yesZhejiang Daxue xuebao. Lixue ban
The Rio del Rey basin, located in the eastern margin of the Niger Delta Basin in West Africa, develops large-scale mud diapirs. There are some disputes about the activity time and mechanism of the diapirs. Based on the detailed interpretation and mapping

Origins of chemical diversity of back-arc basin basalts: a segment-scale study of the Eastern Lau Spreading Center [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We report major, trace, and volatile element data on basaltic glasses from the northernmost segment of the Eastern Lau Spreading Center (ELSC1) in the Lau back-arc basin to further test and constrain models of back-arc volcanism.

Experimental Verification of a Two‐Dimensional Inverse Method for Turbidity Currents Using a Deep Neural Network

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Turbidites have been widely studied as indicators of the occurrences and magnitudes of paleo‐tsunamis and paleo‐earthquakes. Inversion to estimate flow conditions from turbidites offers valuable insights into the magnitudes of paleo‐seismic and tsunami events.

An investigation into the impact of diapir structures on formation pressure systems: a case study of the Yinggehai Basin, China

open access: yesGeothermal Energy
Under the influence of diapir structure, the formation pressure system is complicated. The characteristics of high temperature and high pressure are obvious, the prediction is difficult, and complex accidents such as well kick and leakage are frequent ...

Geology of the Eastern Prebetic Zone at the Jumilla region (SE Iberia) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This article presents a geological map and cross-sections at 1:50,000 scale covering an area of 609 km2 of the Eastern Prebetic Zone (SE Iberia). The structure of the studied area is characterized by an NW-directed fold-and-thrust belt and inactive salt ...
