Tectonics, geology and origins of Te Riu‐a‐Māui / Zealandia

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 531-567, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Te Riu‐a‐Māui / Zealandia is a 95% submerged, five million square km southern hemisphere continent that includes the islands of New Zealand and New Caledonia. For the last 45 million years (Ma) Zealandia has been cut by the Pacific‐Australian plate boundary which today changes character from a west‐dipping subduction zone in the north to ...

Rockwall retreat on badlands in Slovene Istria

open access: yesGeologija, 2008
Steep bare rocky slopes that are badlands at the same time, are a morphogenetic particularity of the flyschpart of the Istrian Peninsula. On them, microrelief forms are of a short life cycle, since erosion processes are fast. On the basis of measurements

Erosion and deposition in interplain channels of the Maury channel system [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
Large turbidity currents originating on the insular margin of southern lceland have flowed clown a 2 500 km-long pathway comprising rise valleys, unchanneled plains and segments of erosional and depositional deep-sea channels that are collectively called

The Piedmont Zone From the Western Alps (Italy): New Insights From High‐Pressure Ophiolitic Metasediments in the Soana Valley

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 43, Issue 9, Page 909-937, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Metaophiolites and metasediments of the Piedmont Zone are exposed in the Soana Valley, a poorly studied area of the Western Alps, located between the Europe‐related Gran Paradiso massif and the Adria‐related Sesia–Lanzo zone. Previous investigations reported the occurrence of only greenschist‐facies metamorphic assemblages in the metasediments.

Sustainable Retaining Wall Solution as a Mitigation Strategy on Steep Slopes in Soft Rock Mass

open access: yesGeosciences
Steep slopes in soft rock are characterized by their susceptibility to instability (rockfall, rockslide) due to weathering and erosion of the slope surface. This article deals with the problem of adapting to the increasing height of the scree slope.

Implications of Hydrocarbon and Helium Gas Analyses of Springs from the Ouachita Mountains, Arkansas [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
One hundred and three ground water samples (predominantly springs) were analyzed for headspace light hydrocarbon gases and helium. Four of the formations (Arkansas Novaculite, Bigfork Chert, Stanley Shale, and Womble) having the highest mean methane ...

Geological structure and evolution of the Pieniny Klippen Belt to the east of the Dunajec River : a new approach (Western Outer Carpathians, Poland) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The area studied, known as the Małe (Little) Pieniny Mts., belongs to the Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB), a suture zone that separates the Central Carpathians from the Outer Carpathian accretionary wedge. Along its northern boundary the PKB is separated from

Tracking Sediment Mixing Along the Lower Danube River From the Carpathians to the Black Sea

open access: yesTerra Nova, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 413-420, December 2025.
ABSTRACT We use detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology as a sediment provenance tracer in modern river sands to better understand how tectonic, climatic, and anthropogenic processes modulate sediment transport dynamics of the Carpathians to the Black Sea source to sink system.

Nummulitins from flysch in surroundings of Ilirska Bistrica, southwest Slovenia

open access: yesGeologija, 2003
Described are nummulitins from four localities in surroundings of Ilirska Bistrica. They were found in flysch rocks of Lower Cuisian and Upper Cuisian age, and of Cuisian/Lutetian transition.
