Anatomy of a Curved Orogen: The Broken River Orocline in the Northeastern Tasmanides (Australia)

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Oroclines record crustal and lithospheric‐scale processes in active plate margins. In northeastern Australia, the Broken River Orocline is marked by the curvature of structural fabrics and tectonic elements. However, the geometry, structural evolution, and tectonic implications of this orocline are poorly understood.

Structure and activity of the geothermal field of Hvalfjörður (Iceland) from brittle tectonic, geothermal and paleostress analysis

Bulletin de la Société Géologique de France, 2013
AbstractThis paper presents the results of brittle tectonic, palaeostress inversion, and hydrothermal mineralisation studies of the Hvalfjörður low-temperature geothermal field in Southwest Iceland. This geothermal field (including two pronounced thermal anomalies) is located in the highly altered core area of an extinct and deeply eroded Tertiary ...

Polyphase Tectonic Evolution of the Puerto Rico‐Virgin Islands Microplate Revealed by Fault‐Slip Data and Stress Inversions

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The northeastern Caribbean plate boundary (NCPB) includes the Puerto Rico‐Virgin Islands (PRVI) microplate that is bounded by oblique subduction zones in the Muertos and Puerto Rico Trenches, and by the Mona Rift, and the Anegada Passage rifts.

Extensional neotectonics around the bend of the Western/Central Alps: an overview [PDF]

, 2018
The Western Alps' active tectonics is characterized by ongoing widespread extension in the highest parts of the belt and transpressive/compressive tectonics along its borders.

Constraints from rocks in the Taiwan orogen on crustal stress levels and rheology [PDF]

, 2012
Taiwan's Hsüehshan range experienced penetrative coaxial deformation within and near the brittle-plastic transition between ∼6.5 and 3 Ma. This recent and short-lasting deformation in an active, well-studied orogen makes it an ideal natural laboratory ...

Accelerated Tectonic Activity, Rather Than Paleolake Regression, Drives Increased Pleistocene River Incision Along the Jinshan Gorge in the Middle Yellow River

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract The Jinshan Gorge in the middle Yellow River, northern China, currently connecting the upstream Hetao Graben to the downstream Weihe Graben, is hypothesized to have recently developed, which implies changing incision rates along the gorge. However, different integration processes have been proposed, such as paleolake regression in the Weihe ...

Tectonic inheritance and continental rift architecture: Numerical and analogue models of the East African Rift System. [PDF]

, 2007
The western branch of the East African Rift is composed of an arcuate succession of elongate asymmetric basins, which differ in terms of interaction geometry, fault architecture and kinematics, and patterns of uplift/subsidence and erosion/sedimentation.

Southwestern Tian Shan: 1. Deformation of Cenozoic Intra‐Montane Basins and Intervening Basement Ranges in Front of the Indian Mantle Indenter

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract A structural analysis of intra‐montane basins establishes the deformation field of the southwestern Tian Shan, that part of the Tian Shan that faces the Pamir and thus the deformation that the Indian mantle‐lithosphere indenter beneath the Pamir imposes—northward indentation and westward crustal collapse.

Constraining the Timing of the Closure of the Intra‐Pontide Ocean by U–Pb Dating of Syntectonic Calcite

Terra Nova, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 26-34, February 2025.
ABSTRACT The western Black Sea region is a key area for the study of the Neo‐Tethys orogenic belt, as it contains records of the evolutionary history of the entire Alpine orogeny from subduction to oceanic closure and collision. The Izmir‐Ankara and the Intra‐Pontide suture zones represent the final closure of the Neo‐Tethys oceans.
