Investigating the Structure of Detachment Faulting and Its Role in Ore Formation: The Kallintiri Detachment System and the Associated Polymetallic Ore Deposit (Rhodope, NE Greece)

open access: yesGeosciences
The Kallintiri area (SW Byala Reka–Kechros Dome, Rhodope) hosts a polymetallic (critical, base, and precious metals) ore deposit, tectonically controlled by the late Eocene–Oligocene, top-to-SW Kallintiri Detachment System.

The Dynamics and Surface Signal of Slab Break‐Off in Continental Settings: Insights From 3D Numerical Modeling

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The fate of an oceanic plate that has been subducted over an extended period of time involves slab break‐off, which can occur either simultaneously across the entire slab or locally, creating a tear that propagates sub‐horizontally. These processes are thought to explain various geological observations, such as the evolution of foreland basins,

Constraints on the evolution of Taranaki Fault from thermochronology and basin analysis: Implications for the Taranaki Fault play [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Taranaki Fault is the major structure defining the eastern margin of Taranaki Basin and marks the juxtaposition of basement with the Late Cretaceous-Paleogene succession in the basin.

Temperature and Dynamic Effects of the Plate Boundary Shear Zone During Subduction

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The plate boundary in a subduction zone is a narrow, weak shear zone, which transitions from brittle to ductile deformation with increasing depth. The exhumed rock record documents the important role of metamorphism, fluid release, and mixing of compositionally distinct materials in controlling the physical properties of the shear zone.

A Sediment Provenance Study of Middle Jurassic to Cretaceous Strata in the Eastern Sverdrup Basin: Implications for the Exhumation of the Northeastern Canadian-Greenlandic Shield

open access: yesGeosciences
The Sverdrup Basin, Arctic Canada, is ideally situated to contain an archive of tectono-magmatic and climatic events that occurred within the wider Arctic region, including the exhumation of the adjacent (northeastern) part of the Canadian-Greenlandic ...

The Impact of Erosion Efficiency on Rift‐Inversion Orogen Evolution: Implications for Serpentinization‐Derived Natural H2 Resources

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Natural hydrogen gas (H2) generated through the serpentinization of mantle rocks is a possible source of clean energy. For efficient serpentinization and large‐scale H2 generation to occur, mantle rocks need to be brought near the surface (exhumed) into a favorable temperature range (the serpentinization window) and in contact with water.
