GNSS Constraints to Active Tectonic Deformations of the South American Continental Margin in Ecuador

open access: yesSensors, 2021
GNSS observations constitute the main tool to reveal Earth’s crustal deformations in order to improve the identification of geological hazards. The Ecuadorian Andes were formed by Nazca Plate subduction below the Pacific margin of the South American ...

Geodynamic setting and models of the emplacement of ophiolitic allochthons in the structure of accreted island arcs of the pacific north-western framing

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2019
Based on the model of an oceanic island-arc breakup followed by accretion of rear and frontal parts of an arc to a continental margin of North-East Asia, the geodynamic nature of the ophiolites of Kamchatka and South Koryakia has been considered.

Tectonic evolution and its control on oil–gas accumulation in southern East China Sea since the Jurassic

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Based on the results from the previous research on Mesozoic igneous rocks, as well as tectonic environments in the northern South China Sea and southern East China Sea (NSCS-SECS), geophysical parameters, strata, and characteristics of seismic facies in ...

Variable exhumation history between the central and eastern Xigaze fore-arc basin, south Tibet: Implications for underthrusting Indian slab dynamics

open access: yes, 2021
The Xigaze fore‐arc basin in southern Tibet records important information related to subduction of the Neo‐Tethys and subsequent collision between India and Asia. We present field observations, together with new apatite fission track and zircon (U‐Th)/He

Seismic Evidence for Fluid/Gas Beneath the Mentawai Fore‐Arc Basin, Central Sumatra [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2018
AbstractSince 2004, there have been three great interplate earthquakes (Mw > 8.0) offshore Sumatra. In addition to rupturing the megathrust, these earthquakes might also have ruptured the backthrusts that bound the Andaman Islands to the Mentawai Islands toward the forearc basins. Here we apply a combination of traveltime tomography and seismic full

Provenance history of a Late Triassic-Jurassic Gondwana margin forearc basin, Murihiku Terrane, North Island, New Zealand: petrographic and geochemical constraints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The Murihiku Terrane in the North Island was a forearc basin adjacent to a volcanic arc along the eastern margin of Gondwana during the Mesozoic. The rocks that infill the basin are mainly volcaniclastic sandstones and mudstones, often turbiditic, with ...

Rapid Shifts in Chemical and Isotopic Compositions of Sediment Pore Waters in the Amami Sankaku Basin in Response to Initial Arc Rifting in the Mid‐Oligocene

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Pore waters were recovered from the sediment cores drilled in the back‐arc Amami Sankaku Basin (ASB) during the International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 351.

Changing Sources of Magma Generation Beneath Intra-Oceanic Islands Arcs: An Insight From the Juvenile Kohistan Island Arc, Pakistan Himalaya [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The Kohistan arc, situated in the Pakistan Himalaya, is a Cretaceous intraoceanic island arc which was initiated during the northward movement of the Indian Plate. The arc was sutured to Asia at ca. 100 Ma.

INTRA-OCEANIC ARCS OF THE PALEO-ASIAN OCEAN

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2017
Intra-oceanic arcs (IOAs) form at Pacific-type convergent margins, in the upper “stable” plate, when the subducting plate submerges to the depths of melting, i.e., to ca. 50–100 km.

OLENEKIAN TO EARLY LADINIAN STRATIGRAPHY OF THE WESTERN PART OF THE AGHDARBAND WINDOW (KOPEH-DAG, NE IRAN)

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2018
The structural setting and the stratigraphy of the Early to Middle Triassic sedimentary succession exposed in the western part of the Aghdarband window (Kopeh Dag, NE Iran) is described. Six stratigraphic sections in the Sefid-Kuh Limestone, Nazar-Kardeh
