Was the Formation of the North Anatolian Fault Influenced by the Aegean Extension?

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The North Anatolian Fault (NAF), one of the most prominent plate boundary continental fault systems on Earth, facilitates the westward movement of the Anatolian microplate into the Aegean region. The temporal and spatial evolution of the NAF is important for understanding the mechanism of escape tectonics during plate interaction in active ...

East African topography and volcanism explained by a single, migrating plume [PDF]

, 2020
Anomalous topographic swells and Cenozoic volcanism in east Africa have been associated with mantle plumes. Several models involving one or more fixed plumes beneath the northeastward migrating African plate have been suggested to explain the space-time ...

Orogenward Migration of the Flexural Forebulge: A Response to Increased (Sub)surface Loading in the Orogenic Core?

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The flexural profile of a foreland basin is controlled by lower plate strength and the magnitude of (sub)surface loads. Assuming that lower plate strength remains largely constant during flexure, changes in the flexural profile hint at reorganisations of (sub)surface loading.

Mining an Anthropocene in Japan: On the making and work of geological imaginaries

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
Short Abstract This article addresses how the lithic and the drift might be reworked as an Anthropocene material outside of a chronostratigraphy. Revisiting the finding of a floating fern fossil at the Hashima mine, we delve into a complex array of Geological imaginaries, and undertake our own speculative work.

Post-collision, Shoshonitic Volcanism on the Tibetan Plateau: Implications for Convective Thinning of the Lithosphere and the Source of Ocean Island Basalts

, 1996
Potassic volcanism has been widespread and semi-continuous on the Tibetan plateau since ~13 Ma, post-dating the orogenic thickening of the India—Asia collision.

Two-sided asymmetric subduction; implications for tectonomagmatic and metallogenic evolution of the Lut Block, Eastern Iran [PDF]

, 2011
West directed subduction zones show common characteristics, such as low structural elevation, deep trench, steep slab and a conjugate back-arc basin that are opposite to those of the east directed subduction zones.
