Middle to Late Miocene Contractional Deformation in Costa Rica Triggered by Plate Geodynamics [PDF]

, 2017
Contractional deformation in Costa Rica is usually attributed to the subduction of the aseismic Cocos Ridge. In this work, we review the evidences for contraction in the middle to late Miocene, prior to the arrival of the Cocos Ridge at the Middle ...

Interseismic Coupling Along the Java‐Timor Subduction‐Collision Zone at East Indonesia

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 6, 28 March 2025.
Abstract The Java‐Timor subduction‐collision zone is one of the most tectonically complicated structures along the strike of the Indonesia‐Australia convergence. This complexity makes it difficult to interpret observations of interseismic deformation. In this study, we simultaneously inverted 108 Global Positioning System velocities and 176 earthquake ...

Morphotectonics of the Padul-Nigüelas Fault Zone, southern Spain

Annals of Geophysics, 2014
The Padul-Nigüelas Fault Zone (PNFZ) is situated at the south-western mountain front of the Sierra Nevada (southern Spain) in the Internal Zone of the Betic Cordilleras and belongs to a NW-SE trending system of normal faults dipping SW.

Anatomy and tectonic significance of WNW-ESE and NE-SW lineaments at a transpressive plate boundary (Nubia-Iberia) [PDF]

, 2009
Recent mapping of the Gulf of Cadiz seafloor permitted to identify major tectonic lineaments: the SWIM lineaments (Zitellini et al., 2009) and Cadiz lineament, striking WNW-ESE and NE-SW, respectively.

Pan‐European Landslide Risk Assessment: From Theory to Practice

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract Assessing landslide risk is a fundamental requirement to plan suitable prevention actions. To date, most risk studies focus on individual slopes or catchments. Whereas regional, national or continental scale assessments are hardly available because of methodological and/or data limitations.

MORPHOTECTONIC ANALYSIS APPROACH FOR ACTIVE FAULT IDENTIFICATION OF THE CIKANDANG WATERSHED, SOUTHERN PART OF WEST JAVA, INDONESIA

Rudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik
This study aims to find possible active faults by analysing the morphotectonic features of the Cikandang Watershed in West Java, Indonesia. Morphometric indices including drainage density (Dd), lineament density (Ld), and bifurcation ratio (Rb) were ...

Effects of mass waste events on thrust wedges: Analogue experiments and application to the Makran accretionary wedge [PDF]

, 2010
Olistostromes cover large portions of active thrust wedges like Makran, Gulf of Cadiz, and offshore Borneo. Olistostrome emplacement by submarine mass flow represents an instantaneous and massive mass redistribution that may influence thrust wedge ...

Sedimentary facies assemblages of the Selendi Supradetachment Basin (Western Turkey): Implications for balancing subsidence and sedimentation in a Neogene lacustrine basin

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 260-280, February 2025.
The Selendi lacustrine basin developed as a supra‐detachment basin on the Simav detachment fault in response to the continental extension in western Türkiye and the associated uplift of the Menderes Massif. The facies assemblages show an aggradational stacking pattern developed throughout deposition of the basin. This stacking pattern records a balance

Mountain building processes in the Central Andes [PDF]

False color composite images of the Thematic Mapper (TM) bands 5, 4, and 2 were examined to make visual interpretations of geological features. The use of the roam mode of image display with the International Imaging Systems (IIS) System 600 image ...
