Strike-slip metamorphic core complexes: Gneiss domes emplaced in releasing bends
Geology, 2017 We investigate the development of a Neoproterozoic metamorphic core complex (MCC) in the Marbat area (southern Arabian Peninsula). The MCC is a gneiss dome emplaced in a releasing bend along a dextral strike-slip fault system. Dome emplacement-related extension was at a high angle to the long axis of the dome and 65 degrees from the strike-slip fault ...

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 1, January–February 2026.This study of recent exploration drillcore reveals two sequences separated by a disconformity. Basal alluvial fan to shallow marine lithofacies suggest reactivation of basement faults, and a distinct upwelling signature points to a flooded margin, controlled by differential subsidence of diverse Proterozoic lithosphere.

The crust in the pamir: Insights from receiver functions [PDF]
, 2019 The Cenozoic convergence between India and Asia has created Earth's thickest crust in the Pamir‐Tibet Plateau by extreme crustal shortening. Here we study the crustal structure of the Pamir and western Tian Shan, the adjacent margins of the Tajik, Tarim,

Pseudo-two-girdles c-axis fabric patterns in a quartz-feldspar mylonite (Costabona granodiorite, Canigo massif) [PDF]
, 2012 An example of the relationship that exist between the preferred crystaliografic orientation of quartz grains and the attitude of the mylonite foliation of quartz-feldspar mylonites is described. These rocks are the result of the inhomogeneous deformation
