The 2009 earthquake, magnitude mb 4.8, in the Pantanal Wetlands, west-central Brazil

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2016
The main goal of this paper is to characterize the Coxim earthquake occurred in June 15th, 2009 in the Pantanal Basin and to discuss the relationship between its faulting mechanism with the Transbrasiliano Lineament.

Formations quaternaires et néotectonique dans le bassin de l'Orbieu (Aude, France)

open access: yesPhysio-Géo, 2013
A geomorphological and sedimentological analysis makes it possible to identify the different Quaternary formations in the Orbieu valley. Then, the reconstruction of the longitudinal and transversal profiles shows the evolution of tectonic deformations ...

Two Distinct Back-Arc Closure Phases of the East Sea: Stratigraphic Evidence From the SW Ulleung Basin Margin

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
This study focuses on revisiting the tectostratigraphic framework of the Ulleung Basin and conceptualizing neotectonics around the western East Sea margin. Based on the analysis of 2D and 3D multi-channel seismic reflection data and offshore drill wells,

A limpet's eye view of post‐glacial isostasy: fixed biological indicators provide new sea‐level index points for the Mid‐Holocene relative highstand in eastern Northern Ireland

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Bioerosional scars made by limpets (Patella) on a cliff in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland, indicate a Mid‐Holocene RSL of +7.8±0.55 m relative to local mid‐tide level today. This is higher than previous empirical data for the region and extrapolated levels from raised shorelines in Scotland but consistent with some recent GIA models.

Gully erosion in India: Geo‐environmental controls and region‐specific characteristics

open access: yesGeographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.
Spatial statistical analyses using a novel spatial database of India‧s gully erosion landforms revealed that India has six major gullying‐affected regions, three of which (EU, DU, and KCH) are dominated by gully systems (gully networks), with badlands (vast intensely gullied landscapes) being predominant in the other three regions (YB, GP, and RU ...

Hazard Potential in Southern Pakistan: A Study on the Subsidence and Neotectonics of Karachi and Surrounding Areas

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Coastal communities in deltaic regions worldwide are subject to subsidence through a combination of natural and anthropogenic processes. The city of Karachi in southern Pakistan is situated along the diffuse western boundary of the tectonically active ...

Interplay Between Tectonics and Submarine Mass Transport Deposits in Cortes Basin: New High‐Resolution Geophysics in the Outer California Borderland

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Outer California Borderland (OCB) is an active transform plate boundary offshore Southern California, where the relationship between faulting and submarine mass transport deposits (MTDs) remains poorly understood. Onshore paleoseismic data provide high‐resolution earthquake records, whereas marine geophysical data capture longer‐term ...

Geomorphological Evidence of Active Faulting on Alluvial Fan Along Northeastern Margin of Tibetan Plateau (NW China)

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Complete records of fault activity are very valuable for assessing possible earthquakes. Fault scarps are one key to exploring past fault activity. Through the records of fault scarps, we can obtain evidence of fault activity and faulting events in ...

Soil Gas Investigations in Hatay‐Reyhanlı (Türkiye): Implications for Buried Fault Detection and Seismic Hazard Assessment

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract This study presents a soil gas geochemical survey in the Kırcaoğlu and Reyhanlı regions of Hatay Province, southeastern Türkiye, following the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake doublet. The aim was to identify concealed faults and assess seismic hazard through analysis of soil CO2 flux, CO2 and 222Rn concentrations, and carbon and helium isotopic ...
