Accretionary Prism and Forearc Deformation Driven by the Beata Ridge Indentation in Southern Hispaniola: Insights From the Offshore San Pedro Basin

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The Cretaceous–Eocene island arc of Hispaniola is currently shortened between the Bahamas carbonate platform to the north and the thickened crust of the Caribbean Large Igneous Province (CLIP) to the south. Within this transpressional setting, the 15–22‐km‐thick, ∼100‐km‐wide Beata Ridge (BR), the thickest portion of the CLIP, acts as a ...

Empirical Scaling Relationships Between Fault Length and Throw‐Rates Modulated by Fault Interactions in Extensional Regimes

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Throw rates of active faults are expected to scale with fault length because the geometric moment of a fault is directly related to its dimensions. However, empirical data sets commonly display substantial scatter, which limits the use of fault scaling relationships for seismic hazard assessment and for understanding the mechanics of ...

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

Geographical 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 ...

Tectonic Interplay in the Gulf of Cagliari (Italy): Extension, Compression and Strike‐Slip Movements

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Since the Oligocene, extensional tectonics of the Sardinia Rift and Campidano Graben interacted with the collision between Sardinia and northern Africa, generating reverse faults. At the Plio‐Quaternary boundary, compressional tectonics resumed, shaping the southern margin of the gulf through transpressional tectonics of the exposed Ichnusa High ...

Surface Deformation of the Nanga Parbat Crustal Diapir in the Northwestern Himalaya Imaged With GNSS and InSAR

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
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 ...

Holocene Normal Faulting in the Southern Rocky Mountain Trench; Orogenic Collapse Modulated by Glacial Unloading?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
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.

Active tectonics in Quaternary marine formations in the Tangier region (North West Rif, Morocco): Persistent Scatterer (PSInSAR) contribution

Geogaceta
This study investigates recent tectonic activity in Tangier, Morocco, using PSInSAR data and microtectonic field observations. The exploration of marine deposits in the Achakar basin during the Plio-Quaternary period holds significance for tracking the ...

Evaluation of GPR capabilities in the study of seismogenic faulting and deformation in the bottom sediments of Lake Upoloksha (northeast of the Fennoscandian shield)

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2018
The article describes the experience of using the GPR method to study the bottom sediments of Lake Upoloksha located in the Kola Peninsula, Russia. Such sediments are viewed as good archives of various Holocene geodynamic processes, including tectonic ...

Fault Friction, Plate Rheology, and Mantle Torques From a Global Dynamic Model of Neotectonics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
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 ±
