Late Campanian (74–71 Ma) Arabia–Eastern Anatolia Collision and Its Geodynamic Implications

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The East Anatolian Plateau is a major collisional feature within the Tethyan realm formed as a late‐stage result of the collision between East Anatolia and the Arabian Platform. The timing of this collision is highly debated, with estimates from the Late Cretaceous to the Miocene.

9D space – the best way to understand paleostress analysis [PDF]

, 2011
The goal of this paper is to illustrate some basic facts about paleostress analysis using C-lines in9-dimensional space. In particular, two optimization parameters are proposed to validate the reliability ofnumerical solutions.

Bi-directional extensional control of the Berane Basin formation, northern Montenegro [PDF]

Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva
The Berane Basin is a Miocene, northeast‐southwest oriented intramountain basin of the Dinarides, overlying the pre‐neotectonic basement of the Drina–Ivanjica unit, the East Bosnian–Durmitor unit and the Western Vardar Zone.

Long‐Term Deformation in the Alpine‐Provence Foreland Constrained by In Situ Calcite U‐Pb Dating

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The evolution of the Alpine‐Provence foreland is characterized by multiple deformation phases since the Mesozoic, representing successive compressional and extensional episodes. The precise timing and spatial evolution of these deformation phases remain poorly constrained due to the lack of absolute geochronological data. Here, we present U–Pb

Stress Model of California: Fault‐Stress Interactions Across a Complex Plate Boundary System From Focal Mechanisms of Small Earthquakes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract California, located along the transform boundary between the Pacific and North American plates, hosts a complex fault system, a long history of damaging earthquakes, and frequent small earthquakes. While earthquakes arise from the buildup and release of elastic stress, detailed knowledge of principal stress orientations, absolute stress ...

From Extension to Strike‐Slip Faulting Along the Western Continuation of the North Anatolian Fault in the Northern Aegean Sea: Structural, Geochronological and Geochemical Constraints

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Northern Aegean region preserves a complex deformation pattern shaped by Miocene extension driven by retreat of the Hellenic subduction system, later overprinted by Plio–Pleistocene transtension linked to the westward propagation of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF). Although numerous structural, geophysical and geochronological studies have

Kinematic and structural development of the Cankiri basin, central Anatolia, Turkey : a paleostress inversion study

, 2003
Three different deformation phases have been recognized in the southern part of the Cankin Basin from (1) the major structures and (2) through using paleostress inversion techniques for fault slip data.

Analysis of an anthropogenically-induced landslide with emphasis on geological precursors

Results in Earth Sciences
A landslide occurred at Nhachüko on 2nd June 2017. Indiscriminate dumping of hill-cut debris along a narrow stream channel blocked the flow of water, which raised the water levels on the uphill side.

The role of mechanical stratigraphy on the refraction of strike-slip faults [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2019
Fault and fracture planes (FFPs) affecting multilayer sequences can be significantly refracted at layer–layer interfaces due to the different mechanical properties of the contiguous layers, such as shear strength, friction coefficient and grain size ...
