Crustal Structure Across the Okavango Rift, Botswana: The SEISORZ Wide‐Angle Seismic Experiment
Abstract The Okavango Rift Zone (ORZ) is an incipient continental rift in Botswana at the terminus of the Southwestern Branch of the East African Rift System. The lack of syn‐rift magmatism and tectonic processes overprinting pre‐rift structures provide an opportunity to investigate incipient‐stage rift processes and the role of pre‐existing structures

Cave Palaeolithic of the Ural Mountains – a review
The Ural Mountains are of fundamental importance for studying early human migrations along the geographical limits between Europe and Asia. Geological processes and past climates gave rise to numerous caves, mostly in Palaeozoic carbonate formations.

Neotectonics of the San Andreas fault system: Basin and range province juncture [PDF]
Several new details regarding the surficial patterns of neotectonic activity of the Eastern Transverse Ranges and vicinity were discovered. Additionally a number of data display and analysis techniques were developed.

The 2005 - 2007 Bala (Ankara, central Turkey) earthquakes : a case study for strike-slip fault terminations [PDF]
An intense seismic activity has been observed after the Bala (Ankara, NW central Turkey) earthquakes (30 July 2005: Mw=5.3, 20 December 2007: Mw=5.4, and 26 December 2007: Mw=5.3), continuing up to the present.

Strong Ground Motion Characteristics of the Saturated Loess Site
Significant differences exist in the ground response of saturated and unsaturated deposits to earthquakes, but few relevant studies exist on strong ground motion in saturated loess. We have selected three loess sites that are highly affected by earthquake‐induced liquefaction hazards, analyzed the nonlinear characteristics of the ground motion response

Abstract The convergence of the Indian and Eurasian plates beneath the Pamir Plateau has produced complex continental subduction, significantly influencing upper crustal faulting and seismicity. To investigate the kinematic behavior of the High Pamir Plateau, we derive a geodetic slip model for the 2023 Mw 6.9 Pamir earthquake by using Sentinel‐1A and ...

Tectonic control on rock uplift, exhumation, and topography above an oceanic ridge collision: Southern Patagonian Andes (47°S), Chile [PDF]
International audienceThe subduction of bathymetric anomalies at convergent margins can profoundly affect subduction dynamics, magmatism, and the structural and geomorphic evolution of the overriding plate.
