ABSTRACT The Pletmos sub‐basin in the Outeniqua Basin, offshore South Africa, is divided by the Superior, Pletmos and Plettenberg faults into northern and southern depocentres. In this study, geological and organic geochemical data together with 1D basin modelling were used to investigate the burial, thermal and maturation histories, and the timing of ...

ABSTRACT Microporous carbonate rocks typically record complex diagenetic histories driven by microbial activity and fluid interactions within multiple diagenetic environments. The relative roles of meteoric and burial diagenetic processes in pore evolution remain debated, particularly within Cretaceous carbonate systems of the Middle East, as does the ...

Cenozoic tropical carbonate platforms in the Santos Basin, SE Brazilian Margin
ABSTRACT Tropical carbonate platforms accompanied the latitudinal shifts of the tropical belt throughout the Cenozoic. Their flat‐topped geometries were influenced by a specific set of processes, including climate and sea‐level changes, carbonate facies, tectonics and continental runoff.

ABSTRACT Previous studies have documented genetic divergence within the last few million years between northern and southern populations of terrestrial plants and animals along the Baja California peninsula, with many studies hypothesising that the divergence is due to an ancient seaway that crossed the central peninsula and created a physical barrier ...

ABSTRACT Significant porosity of more than 5% was found at depths of more than 8500 m in poorly sorted, calcareous mudstones of the Malmian Mikulov Formation. These overpressured rocks are the main hydrocarbon source rock in the Vienna Basin. Core samples from present‐day depths of 8150 m to 8550 m were analysed using X‐ray diffraction and scanning ...

Abstract Fault‐slip reversals indicate transient stress changes and may illuminate earthquake preparation processes. Here we present high‐resolution observations of sub‐millimetric creep and slip reversals on the Altaquelle Fault, a Quaternary normal fault in the southern Vienna Basin, preceding a regionally significant intraplate earthquake sequence ...

Background. The lower-middle course of the Selennyakh River in the Momsky and Abyisky districts of the Republic of Sakha, Yakutia, is characterized by a wide distribution of alluvial gold placers. The absence of obvious potential primary sources of these

Abstract The response of terrestrial climate to future warming remains debated. The Pliocene, with CO2 levels similar to today, is an important analog for the future. The East Asian monsoon marginal region is one of the most climate sensitive regions on Earth. Based on contemporaneous aeolian sediments and aquatic‐influenced alluvial sediments from the

Abstract The Pamir, located at the northwestern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, is undergoing E–W extension within its interior, accommodated by micro‐block motions along major fault systems; however, the mechanisms governing this modern block kinematics remain elusive.

Abstract Large intraplate earthquakes are paradoxical because they occur far from active plate boundaries. Northern Hainan Island (South China) hosts the 1605 Qiongbei M7.5 earthquake within a volcanic province linked to the Hainan mantle plume. New shear‐wave velocity images reveal two shallow low‐velocity zones extending to ∼10 km depth: a stronger ...
