Two Distinct Growth Styles of Riedel Shear Zones in Cratonic Strike‐Slip Fault System, Tarim Basin, NW China

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The kinematics and progressive evolution of Riedel shear zones have been extensively studied, yet the factors controlling their distinct evolutionary styles in natural settings remain debated. Understanding such fracture network architecture has great implications, such as predicting subsurface fluid flow and assessing seismic hazards.

Late Cenozoic Convergence Between the Pamir and the Tianshan Revealed by Low‐Temperature Thermochronology

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Cenozoic India–Eurasia collision drove widespread deformation across Central Asia, culminating in northward indentation of the Pamir and its eventual contact with the South Tianshan. However, the timing and kinematics of Pamir–Tianshan convergence, as well as its influence on regional topography and climate, remain debated. Here, we report

Exhumation History of the Sangre de Cristo Range, Colorado, From Mid‐ to Low‐Temperature Thermochronology: New Insights Into Laramide Contraction and Oligocene–Miocene Extension in the Northern Rio Grande Rift, USA

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Sangre de Cristo Range in southern Colorado records a complex tectonic history that includes Late Cretaceous–Eocene Laramide contraction and Oligocene–Quaternary Rio Grande rift extension. We present new thermochronologic data (40Ar/39Ar, fission‐track, (U‐Th)/He) and thermal history models that provide insight into this polyphase history ...

Ediacaran–Cambrian High‐Strain Melt‐Present Deformation of the Archean Charcot Province, East Antarctica

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The assembly of Gondwana involved several Pan‐African orogens, although their extension into ice‐covered Antarctica remains contentious. Particularly problematic is our understanding of the Kuunga orogenic system in East Antarctica, including its eroded architecture and temporal evolution. The remote Charcot Province, at the easternmost extent

Non‐Uniqueness, Symmetries and Invariance of Thermal History Modelling in Sedimentary Basins

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 4, July–August 2026.
This paper approaches non‐unique inverse problems by generating a representative ensemble of all possible solutions using the concept of symmetry. In the context of basin modelling, a symmetry is any manipulation of a forward model's parameters (e.g., thermal history) that leaves the model output (e.g., downhole vitrinite reflectance) unchanged ...
