The Late Eocene-Early Miocene unconformities of the NW Indian Intraplate basins and Himalayan foreland : a record of tectonics or mantle dynamics? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A well-developed Late Eocene to Miocene unconformity, termed the Base Miocene Unconformity (BMU), is found throughout the intraplate basins of north-western India, and has previously been ascribed to Himalayan tectonics.

Secular cooling of Earth as a source of intraplate stress [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
The once popular idea that changes in planetary volume play an important role in terrestrial orogeny and tectonics was generally discarded with the acceptance of plate tectonics.

Interactions between Cenozoic tectonics and landscape dynamics in Londrina, Paraná, Brazil

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Geomorfologia
The Londrina City, located in southern Brazil, is situated on the basalt of the Paraná Igneous Province (PIP), near tectonic structures such as the Guaxupé faults and the São Jerônimo-Curiúva and São Sebastião lineaments, with a history of reactivation ...

Late Cenozoic Sediment Provenance in the Northern Canterbury Basin, Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Late Cenozoic strata of the northern Canterbury Basin record uplift and erosion of mountain ranges adjacent to the transition from oblique subduction to strike‐slip on the Australian–Pacific plate boundary. Using the provenance of conglomerate clasts and sandstone samples, we reconstruct sediment transport pathways and, by inference, exhumation and ...

Strength reversal in Europe's intraplate lithosphere: transition of basin inversion to lithospheric folding.

open access: yes, 2005
An intriguing paradox in European tectonics is that present intracontinental seismicity seems to be broadly distributed, whereas past deformation was restricted to sedimentary basin areas.

A 10-m vertical displacement on the Romanian Black Sea coast during modern history

open access: yesGeoscience Letters
Sea level reconstructions in the Black Sea basin and elsewhere rely on the identification of sea level markers and on the understanding of their post-genetic vertical movements.

Revisions to the 2023 U.S. 50‐State National Seismic Hazard Model

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
We present an update to the 2023 U.S. 50‐state National Seismic Hazard Model, based on questions and comments received from a range of users, as well as additional internal and building code reviews since its initial release. For the conterminous United States, the update includes (1) revised weighting of ground motion models in the Intermountain West,

A New Amphibious Earthquake Catalog for the Alaska Peninsula: Training, Testing, and Applying Machine Learning Earthquake Picking in Offshore and Amphibious Environments

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract The dual seismological developments of large‐scale offshore observational networks and high‐quality machine‐learning earthquake detection and picking allow unprecedented seismicity detection in high hazard subduction zones. We develop a high resolution machine learning enhanced seismicity catalog for the Alaska Peninsula stretch of the Alaska ...

Digital Tectonics as a Morphogenetic Process [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
p. 938-948Tectonics is a seminal concept that defines the nature of the relationship between architecture and its structural properties. The changing definition of the symbiotic relationship between structural engineering and architectural design may ...

The intraplate Euphrates fault system-Palmyrides mountain belt junction and relationship to Arabian plate boundary tectonics

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1995
We interpret seismic data and well logs to indicate that the Euphrates graben, intersecting orthogonally with the Palmyride mountains, is an intraplate transtensional feature that probably developed in response to plate boundary stress created by a ...
