Evidence for surface uplift of the Atlas Mountains and the surrounding peripheral plateaux: Combining apatite fission-track results and geomorphic indicators in the Western Moroccan Meseta (coastal Variscan Paleozoic basement) [PDF]
, 2010 This work represents an initial attempt to link the evolution of the topography in relation to the general tectonic framework of western Morocco. For this purpose, in a section of the Western Moroccan Meseta different tools are combined in order to ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract Topographic highlands commonly develop along convergent plate boundaries through long‐term processes such as subduction and continental collision. However, the pre‐Cenozoic mountain‐building history of deep‐time orogenic systems in northeastern Pangaea remains poorly constrained due to later tectonic overprinting and denudation.

Geosciences, 2018 The lack of preserved Mesozoic⁻Cenozoic sediments and structures in central Dronning Maud Land has so far limited our understanding of the post-Pan-African evolution of this important part of East Antarctica.

Further evidence for early lunar magnetism from troctolite 76535 [PDF]
, 2017 The earliest history of the lunar dynamo is largely unknown and has important implications for the thermal state of the Moon and the physics of dynamo generation.

A Tortonian onset for the Algerian margin inversion: Evidence from low‐temperature thermochronology [PDF]
Terra Nova, 2018 AbstractIn North Africa, the Algerian margin is made of basement blocks that drifted away from the European margin, namely the Kabylia, and docked to the African continental crust in the Early Miocene. This young margin is now inverted, as dated Miocene (17 Ma) granites outcrop alongshore, evidencing kilometre‐scale exhumation since their emplacement ...

The Cenozoic Multiple-Stage Uplift of the Qiangtang Terrane, Tibetan Plateau
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Cenozoic collision between the Indian and Asian continents is generally considered as the main driver forming the high Tibetan Plateau (TP). However, it remains hotly debated when and how the relatively flat and highly elevated TP was formed.

Geochemical Disequilibrium at the Brittle‐Ductile Transition
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract We investigate the microtextural, microchemical, and isotopic effects of late‐stage ductile deformation in quartzite mylonites and kyanite–muscovite–quartz veins from the Raft River shear zone (Utah). Quartz microstructures record pervasive disequilibrium, expressed by unannealed features including undulatory extinction, deformation lamellae ...
