Neotectonics: Watching the earth move [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999
Recent advances in global positioning system (GPS) technology have made it possible to detect millimeter scale changes in the Earth’s surface. Using these systems it has been possible to detect relative motion between the large plates of the outer most rigid layer of Earth.

Brittle Deformation in the Neoproterozoic Basement of Southeast Brazil: Traces of Intraplate Cenozoic Tectonics

open access: yesGeosciences, 2021
The basement of southeast Brazil is traditionally interpreted as the result of Neoproterozoic and early Paleozoic orogenic cycles. Wide regions of the Atlantic Plateau (southeast Brazil) are characterized by rocks and tectonic structures of Precambrian ...

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 ...

Tectono‐Sedimentary Evolution of the Neogene İnegöl Basin (NW Anatolia): Constraints on Transtensional Basin Development at the Junction of the Western Anatolian Extensional Province and the North Anatolian Fault Zone

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
The study outlines the tectono‐sedimentary evolution of the İnegöl Basin in north‐western Anatolia. Basin formation was controlled by interacting extensional and strike‐slip fault systems linked to uplift of the Uludağ Massif. Terrestrial sedimentation from the Miocene to Pleistocene is reconstructed using abundant fossil mammal assemblages that ...

Repeated Pleistocene Permafrost Episodes in the Western Pannonian Basin

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Concerning the study of past periglacial processes, the Pannonian Basin is a key area as it contains the southernmost frost polygons found in Central Europe. The presence or absence of permafrost is still, however, a matter of debate, and data on the timing of frost action are also scarce.

Intraplate Strike-Slip Corridor within South America (NE Border of the Paraná Basin) Unveiled by Structural Analysis of Faults and Fracture Swarms

open access: yesGeosciences, 2022
We present the effect of neotectonics in intracratonic settings as revealed by the surface, brittle deformation associated to a regionally-sized shear corridor, which affects Southeastern Brazil.
