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

Oblique Convergence in the Himalayas of Western Nepal Deduced from Preliminary Results of GPS Measurements [PDF]
A GPS network consisting of 29 sites was installed in central and western Nepal, with measurements taken in 1995 and partial remeasurements in 1997. Data suggest 15 +/−5 mm/yr of N180° convergence between the Higher Himalayas and India, a result that is ...

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

A palaeoecological approach to neotectonics : the geomorphic evolution of the Ntem River in and below its interior delta, SW Cameroon [PDF]
The Late Tertiary to Quaternary evolution of the Ntem interior delta in SW Cameroon shall be modelled. A step fault was formed along neotectonically remobilized Precambrian structures.

Abstract The Nanga Parbat–Haramosh Massif located in the northwestern syntaxis of the Himalaya is an antiformal structure considered as a crustal diapir undergoing exhumation at a rate larger than 10 mm/yr since 1 Ma. Using GNSS horizontal surface velocities and a vertical and east–west decomposition of the Sentinel‐1 interferometric line‐of‐sight ...

Abstract The Southern Rocky Mountain Trench (SRMT) is a conspicuous valley in the eastern Canadian Cordillera. It lies above a sharp change in lithospheric strength and thickness and is occupied by a normal fault thought to have last been active in the Eocene.

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.

Fault Friction, Plate Rheology, and Mantle Torques From a Global Dynamic Model of Neotectonics
Abstract Improvements in software, parallel computing, global data sets, and laboratory flow‐laws help to develop the global Earth5 thin‐shell finite‐element model of Bird et al. (2008, https://doi.org/10.1029/2007jb005460) into a benchmark study. All experiments confirm that modeled faults (other than megathrusts) have low effective friction of 0.085 ±
