Rapid Transition From High‐Pressure Metamorphism to Exhumation Driven by Orogen‐Parallel Extensional Shearing (Adula Unit, Eastern Central Alps)

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract In the Central Alps, the Adula unit exposes high‐ and ultra‐high‐pressure (HP‐UHP) metamorphic rocks, providing key insights into the subduction and exhumation dynamics of the former distal European margin. We investigate the San Bernardino Shear Zone (SBSZ), a top‐to‐the‐east extensional shear zone developed within orthogneiss and paragneiss ...

Multianalytical provenance analysis of Eastern Ross Sea LGM till sediments (Antarctica): Petrography, geochronology, and thermochronology detrital data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In order to reveal provenance of detrital sediments supplied by West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), 19 glaciomarine cores of Last Glacial Maximum age were analyzed from Eastern Ross Sea and Sulzberger Bay.

Heat and Tectonics of the Canadian Cordillera From the Seismically Constrained Inversion of Gravity Data

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract An updated approach to seismically constrained modeling of gravity data reveals two broad, NW‐trending low‐density zones in the mantle lithosphere beneath the Canadian Cordillera. The low‐density zones coincide with a shallow lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary (LAB), a shallow Curie‐point depth, and the location of Quaternary volcanoes.

Creating a Critical Zone: Feedbacks Between Bedrock Geology, Water Retention, and Vegetation on an Exposed Bedrock Surface, Panola Mountain, Georgia, USA

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Most of Earth's present‐day terrestrial surface is covered by regolith—the layers of soil, saprolite, and weathered bedrock that together comprise the critical zone. Recent research has focused on understanding fluxes of minerals, water, and energy through the critical zone under steady state assumptions.

Tectonic evolution of the Sergipano Belt, NE Brazil [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
A Faixa Sergipana é uma cunha metavulcanossedimentar de direção WNW-ESE, situada na parte sul da Província Borborema, entre o Maciço Pernambuco-Alagoas e o Craton de São Francisco, no NE do Brasil, que foi polideformada e metamorfisada até o fácies ...

Tectono-metamorphic evolution of the Wadi Hafafit Culmination (central Eastern Desert, Egypt). Implication for Neoproterozoic core complex exhumation in NE Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The Neoproterozoic rock assemblages in the Wadi Hafafit Culmination (WHC) can be subdivided into two main units which are separated by the Nugrus Thrust.

Rifting Evolution of the Central Campos Basin as a Hybrid Rifted Margin: Insights From Tectonic and Magmatic Structures

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Recent observations and drilling campaigns have challenged the typical models for rifted margins by providing evidence for the existence of intermediate cases between the magmatic and amagmatic end‐members. In this contribution, we document the evolution of the Central Campos rifted margin, located in southeast Brazil, based on a combined ...

Syntectonic crustal melting and high-grade metamorphism in a transpressional regime, Variscan Massif Central, France [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Hot collisional orogens are characterized by abundant syn-kinematic granitic magmatism that profoundly affects their tectono-thermal evolutions. Voluminous granitic magmas, emplaced between 360 and 270 Ma, played a visibly important role in the evolution

Permian fluid circulation and deformation along a crustal-scale shear zone in the Montagne Noire gneiss dome (southern French Massif Central)

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin
U-Th-Pb LA-ICPMS (Laser Ablation − Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) has the power to elucidate the timing of metamorphism, deformation, migmatization, and plutonism.
