Interpretation of porosity and LWD resistivity from the Nankai accretionary wedge in light of clay physicochemical properties: Evidence for erosion and local overpressuring [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
International audienceIn this study, we used porosity to assess the compaction state of the Nankai accretionary wedge sediments and any implications for stress and pore pressure.

Echo character mapping and depositional processes on the western Svalbard continental margin

open access: yesPolar Research
An echo character mapping study of the western Svalbard continental margin, based on ca. 3980 km of archived sub-bottom profile data, is presented. Four distinct echo character types are recognized.

Gramscatho-Mylor facies relationships; Hayle, south Cornwall [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Gramscatho Group and the Mylor Slate Formation are the two main lithostratigraphic groups that outcrop in south Cornwall. Their mutual relationship has been disputed for some time because of poor palaeontological control and the effects of polyphase ...

Pitfalls and limitations in seismic attribute interpretation of tectonic features [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Seismic attributes are routinely used to accelerate and quantify the interpretation of tectonic features in 3D seismic data. Coherence (or variance) cubes delineate the edges of megablocks and faulted strata, curvature delineates folds and flexures ...

A Possible Tsunamigenic Near‐Trench Strike‐Slip Fault, Offshore North Ecuador–South Colombia

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Seismic reflection and bathymetry collected along the Ecuador–Colombia obliquely convergent margin allow the first characterization of the NNE‐trending, near‐trench strike‐slip Ancon Fault in the possible source region of the 1906‐Mw8.6–8.8 and 1979‐Mw8.2 earthquakes, which produced devastating tsunamis.

Sedimentary record of submarine gravity‐flow events in the southern Ryukyu forearc during the last 200 000 years: Archive of mega‐earthquakes and tsunamis

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 72, Issue 7, Page 2323-2360, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Despite high convergence velocity, the southern Ryukyu subduction has relatively low and sparse instrumental seismicity, in contrast with the Yaeyama Islands, hit by huge tsunamis over the last few thousand years. This study explores the potential of deep marine sediments to record past large earthquakes and tsunamis.

Flood‐Driven Turbidite Deposition in a Highstand‐Detached Submarine Canyon

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.
Abstract Turbidites on active margins represent key archives of great earthquakes, yet turbidity currents triggered by non‐seismic events complicate paleoearthquake records and influence geochemical budgets. Sediment cores collected from highstand‐detached Astoria Canyon address whether non‐seismic turbidity currents are preserved in canyon ...

An approach for characterising the weathering behaviour of Flysch slopes applied to the carbonatic Flysch of Alicante (Spain) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Various studies indicate that most of the slope instabilities affecting Flysch heterogeneous rock masses are related to differential weathering of the lithologies that make up the slope. Therefore, the weathering characteristics of the intact rock are of

Near Steady Late Pleistocene Tropical Denudation Rates in SW Madagascar

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Denudation is a key parameter controlling the evolution of the Earth's surface, the production of soils, the stability of relief, or the long‐term evolution of climate. Climate fluctuations conversely have a strong impact on denudation, but these complex feedback mechanisms are still under‐constrained.

Sourcing of Miocene accretionary lapilli on ‘Eua, Tonga; atypical dispersal distances and tectonic implications for the central Tonga Ridge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Volcaniclastics hosting accretionary lapilli on the Tonga Ridge were sourced from the remnant Lau Ridge, prior to Lau back-arc basin opening. For the ‘Eua occurrences, an atypical dispersal distance of not less than 70 km is estimated, partly arising ...
