New Insights Into Phanerozoic Tectonics Of South China: Part 1, Polyphase Deformation In The Jiuling And Lianyunshan Domains Of The Central Jiangnan Orogen [PDF]

, 2016
The central Jiangnan Orogen, genetically formed by the Proterozoic Yangtze-Cathaysia collision, presents as a composite structural feature in the Phanerozoic with multiple ductile and brittle fabrics whose geometries, kinematics, and ages are crucial ...

Mantle Transition Zone Topography in New Zealand From Teleseismic P $P$‐Wave Receiver Functions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The geology of New Zealand has been shaped by tectonic plate interactions driven by mantle convection over the past 60 million years, but the effects of these interactions on the transition to the lower mantle are not yet well understood. We analyze 10 years of teleseismic P $P$‐wave receiver functions using common conversion point stacking to

A Seismically Active Shear Zone in the Uppermost Mantle Beneath the Canadian Rockies

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Continental mantle earthquakes are uncommon but hold important clues for understanding lithospheric rheology. Few of these earthquakes (<10) have been documented in western North America, though it is likely more exist owing to difficulties in resolving focal depth for small earthquakes.

Proposed satellite laser ranging and very long baseline interferometry sites for crustal dynamics investigations [PDF]

Recommendations are presented for a global network of 125 sites for geodetic measurements by satellite laser ranging and very long baseline interferometry. The sites were proposed on the basis of existing facilities and scientific value for investigation

Large scale deformation in a locked collisional boundary: Interplay between subsidence and uplift, intraplate stress and inherited lithospheric structure in the late stage of the SE Carpathians evolution. [PDF]

, 2007
The interplay between slab dynamics and intraplate stresses in postcollisional times creates large near-surface deformation, particularly in highly bent orogens with significant lateral variations in mechanical properties.

Rupture Cascade Initiated by Wastewater Disposal: Nucleation and Domino Effect of Canada's Largest Induced Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract In 2022–2023, three local‐magnitude (ML) 4.8–5.6 earthquakes shook the Peace River oilsands area of Alberta, Canada. Previous studies statistically linked the seismicity to nearby disposal activities but lacked in‐depth investigation into triggering mechanisms, including subsurface fluid migration and earthquake interaction.

Processes and deformation rates generating seismicity in metropolitan France and conterminous Western Europe

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2020
Most of metropolitan France and conterminous Western Europe is currently located within the Eurasia intraplate domain, far from major plate boundaries (the Atlantic ridge and Nubia – Eurasia convergence zone).

Deformation of the Upper Oceanic Crust in the Outer Rise of the Sumatra Subduction Zone: Insights From P‐ and Doubly Converted S‐Wave Arrivals on Downward Continued Streamer Data

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract The structure and properties of mature upper oceanic plates may evolve through mechanisms such as magmatism, hydrothermal circulation, and faulting. However, high‐resolution constraints, especially those involving both P‐ and S‐waves, remain scarce, limiting our ability to detect these processes and assess their impacts on crustal properties ...

A study of tectonic activity in the Basin-Range Province and on the San Andreas Fault. No. 1: Kinematics of Basin-Range intraplate extension [PDF]

Strain rates assessed from brittle fracture and total brittle-ductile deformation measured from geodetic data were compared to estimates of paleo-strain from Quaternary geology for the intraplate Great Basin part of the Basin-Range, western United States.
