Is the Suez Rift in Its Post‐Rift Phase?

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.
Abstract Failed rifts are widely assumed to enter post‐rift tectonic quiescence after termination of intracontinental rifting, but a comprehensive understanding of their regional morphotectonics is lacking. Our quantitative, rift‐scale geomorphic analyses in the Suez Rift, an archetypal failed rift in Egypt, reveals widespread rifting after presumed ...

Shortening, Exhumation, and “Flip” in Tectonic Vergence of the Cordillera Central and Southern Dominican Republic

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract In a subduction zone, variability in the buoyancy and structure of the downgoing plate impacts deformation patterns in the overriding plate. Thick and buoyant lithosphere or smaller‐scale indentors entering the trench can lead to significant relief development and exhumation. To investigate such processes, we target the Cenozoic reorganization

Controls on Water‐Magma Interactions at Hydraulically‐Charged Volcanic Islands

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.
Abstract The interaction of rising magma with groundwater can produce phreatomagmatic explosions, which, given their enhanced explosivity and unpredictability, increase the hazard potential of volcanic eruptions. To investigate the link between groundwater occurrence and phreatomagmatism, we compare the volcanic record of Flores Island (Azores) with ...

Back to the Source: Connecting the Seismological Observations of Le Teil Earthquake (Mw 4.9, 2019/11/11, France) to the Local Geology

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The spatial distribution of seismicity in active fault zones depends primarily on the geometry of the fault networks. However, recent advances suggest that seismic activity may also be controlled by the rheology of the geological units surrounding fault zones. In the present work, we use seismological and geological analyses to investigate the

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 ...

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.

Hellenic Subduction System and Upper‐Plate Structures Revealed by Deep High‐Resolution Seismic‐Reflection Profiles and Seafloor Bathymetry

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The Hellenic forearc is one of the least understood forearc systems globally due to limited availability of high‐resolution imagery of its deep structure, especially landward of the Mediterranean Ridge. Here, we combine widely spaced high‐resolution multichannel seismic‐reflection profiles with seafloor morpho‐bathymetric analysis and ...

Morphotectonics of the Pescara River basin (Central Italy)

Journal of Maps, 2017
This work presents a morphotectonic map of the Pescara River basin (1:40,000 scale), located in the piedmont-hilly area of the central-eastern Apennines (Abruzzo Region, Italy), and stretching from the eastern slope of the chain (Maiella Massif, Morrone ...

Morphotectonic and structural analysis of the municipalities of San Cristóbal and Candelaria, Western Cuba: contribution to seismic hazard studies of Pinar Fault

Investigaciones Geográficas, 2013
The research focuses on revealing the main morphotectonic expressions of relief, as a contribution to the study of moderate seismicity of territory. Morphostructural analysis combined with results of analysis of structures, to mesoscopic scale, provide ...
