The Crustal Structure of Rockall Plateau Microcontinent [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1972 Summary Interpretation of seismic refraction measurements and gravity profiles from the Rockall Plateau area of the North-east Atlantic proves that the Plateau is a microcontinent. The depth to the Moho beneath the Plateau varies between 22 and 31 km.

A Database of Low‐Temperature Thermochronology in East Asia
Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2026.Spatial distribution of low‐temperature thermochronology samples in East Asia. ABSTRACT The low closure temperature of the dating system in low‐temperature thermochronology allows shallow crustal movements to be recorded. In recent decades, this approach has been used extensively in studies of orogenic belt exhumation, sedimentary basin evolution, and ...

Thermal history of the early Miocene Waitemata Basin and adjacent Waipapa Group, North Island, New Zealand [PDF]
, 1999 Apatite fission track (AFT) and vitrinite reflectance (VR) data for early Miocene outcrops from the Waitemata Basin reveal that the basin sequence was subjected to shallow burial before denudation.

Do microcontinents nucleate subduction initiation?
, 2022 Subduction initiation is a pivotal process in plate tectonics. Models of subduction initiation include the collapse of passive margins, oceanic transform faults, inversion of oceanic core complexes, and ridge failure, but have ignored the potential effects of continental crust relics within the oceanic crust.

Coesite Discovery in Eclogites Confirms UHP Metamorphism in the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome (SW Poland)
Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 3, Page 200-225, April 2026.ABSTRACT Eclogite lenses are exposed within the orthogneiss‐dominated core of the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome in the Sudetes, which forms the northeastern margin of the Bohemian Massif (Variscan Belt of Central Europe). The presence of coesite inclusions in garnet and omphacite confirms that these eclogites underwent ultrahigh‐pressure metamorphism.
