Long‐Distance Aeolian Dust Deposited on the Island of Crete (Greece): Detection, Characterization, and Provenance

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Long‐distance aeolian dust transport represents one of the largest sediment fluxes on Earth, with North Africa being a dominant source. The island of Crete in the Eastern Mediterranean lies within major transport pathways but remains underexplored regarding multi‐proxy fingerprinting of deposited dust.

Architecture of the Patrimonio Fault System and the Miocene Post‐Orogenic Extension in Alpine Corsica (France)

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The exhumation of Alpine Corsica is the result of Oligocene‐Miocene lithospheric back‐arc extension in the wake of the eastward migration of Apenninic subduction. Although the geometry, kinematics and timing of ductile detachments are well constrained, the brittle extension leading to final exhumation of Alpine Corsica is less documented.

Structurally‐Controlled Permeability Evolution and Mineralization in Geothermal Caprocks: The Fenice Capanne Mining District (Southern Tuscany, Italy)

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Neogene mineralized region of the Colline Metallifere in southern Tuscany (Italy) provides a natural laboratory to investigate feedback between fluid–rock interaction, structurally controlled fluid flow, and hydrothermal ore mineralization.

Early–Late Carboniferous Tectonic Evolution of the Northern North China Craton (NE China): Constraints From Zircon Ages, Geochemistry, and Crustal Thickness Modeling

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The tectonic evolution of the northern margin of the North China Craton (NCC) remains controversial. In this study, we obtained zircon U–Pb ages, geochemical data, and Sr–Nd isotopic data for volcanic rocks, and detrital zircon ages for sedimentary rocks from the Yufutun, Tongqigou, and Benxi formations in central‐southern Jilin Province, NE ...

Tectonic Evolution and Crustal Growth of the East Kunlun Orogen, NW China: Insights From the Late Permian–Triassic Granitoids

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The East Kunlun Orogen (EKO) on the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau experienced complex Late Paleozoic–Early Mesozoic tectono‐magmatic activities associated with the subduction and closure of the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean. Controversies remain regarding the timing and processes of the transition from subduction to collision and post‐collision,

Distinct Transcrustal Evolutions of Komatiitic Primitive Magma: Implications for the Compositional Dichotomy of Continental Flood Basalts

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The origin of the compositional dichotomy between high‐Ti and low‐Ti basalts in continental flood basalt provinces remains debated. Most existing studies attribute this dichotomy directly to variations in primitive magma composition to circumvent the complexities of significant evolutionary processes, such as multiphase fractional ...

Two Distinct Growth Styles of Riedel Shear Zones in Cratonic Strike‐Slip Fault System, Tarim Basin, NW China

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The kinematics and progressive evolution of Riedel shear zones have been extensively studied, yet the factors controlling their distinct evolutionary styles in natural settings remain debated. Understanding such fracture network architecture has great implications, such as predicting subsurface fluid flow and assessing seismic hazards.

Late Cenozoic Convergence Between the Pamir and the Tianshan Revealed by Low‐Temperature Thermochronology

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Cenozoic India–Eurasia collision drove widespread deformation across Central Asia, culminating in northward indentation of the Pamir and its eventual contact with the South Tianshan. However, the timing and kinematics of Pamir–Tianshan convergence, as well as its influence on regional topography and climate, remain debated. Here, we report

Exhumation History of the Sangre de Cristo Range, Colorado, From Mid‐ to Low‐Temperature Thermochronology: New Insights Into Laramide Contraction and Oligocene–Miocene Extension in the Northern Rio Grande Rift, USA

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Sangre de Cristo Range in southern Colorado records a complex tectonic history that includes Late Cretaceous–Eocene Laramide contraction and Oligocene–Quaternary Rio Grande rift extension. We present new thermochronologic data (40Ar/39Ar, fission‐track, (U‐Th)/He) and thermal history models that provide insight into this polyphase history ...
