Seismic Site Effects in Owhiro Bay Quarry, Wellington: Field Observations and Numerical Modelling
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.Local topography and geology are well known factors affecting the intensity of seismic shaking. We have investigated the seismic site effects at a site of the Owhiro Bay Quarry in Wellington, New Zealand, using instrumental records and numerical models.

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.The Pool Burn basin is a tectonic depression that became almost isolated from the regional drainage system by river reorientation during Pleistocene uplift of surrounding ridges. Consequently, detrital gold in the basin was largely locally derived, from supergene zones on orogenic deposits and recycled from paleoplacers in erosional remnants of Miocene

, 2017 The Pliocene fossil record is dominated by Old World monkeys and hominins. Pliocene lemur, loris, tarsier, New World monkey, and great ape fossils are nonexistent, and very few fossils of galagos and gibbons have been found. All known Pliocene primate fossils can be assigned to modern families; the sivaladapids and pliopithecids, ancient primate groups

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.Active fault locations and constraints on the timing and size of earthquakes are important for understanding and mitigating seismic hazard in Aotearoa New Zealand. However, historical and instrumental records are too short to provide these data on most earthquake‐generating faults. Light detection and ranging (lidar) data provide us with the ability to

A new species of Dipoides from the Pliocene of eastern Oregon [PDF]
, 1934 Numerous remains of castoroid rodents from the Tertiary of North America have been referred to the Old World genus Dipoides Jaeger. Apparently, most of the material represents types generically distinct from Dipoides, and the genus is actually ...

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 220-231, March 2026.ABSTRACT South America, a region with high biodiversity, has been profoundly shaped by geological events during the Miocene and Pliocene, as well as by climatic changes in the Pleistocene, leading to complex phylogeographic patterns. The diverse biomes and the biotic exchanges between them, particularly between the Amazon and the Cerrado, have ...

Pleistocene Smoothing and Resurfacing of Appalachian Ridgelines by Periglaciation
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract Pleistocene cold periods created widespread periglacial conditions across mid‐latitudes, but isolating their geomorphic impact from modern climate, tectonics, and rock strength is challenging. We studied Appalachian (Eastern U.S.) ridgelines across a paleoclimate gradient, controlling for bedrock and structure, to test if colder periglacial ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract In the present day, global oceans have absorbed most of the excess anthropogenic heat, abating surface temperature warming. The Mid‐Pliocene Warm Period (MPWP; ∼ ${\sim} $3.2 million years ago) offers an opportunity to understand how globally warmer climates store oceanic heat.

Whole‐bone shape of hominoid manual proximal phalanges
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 2, Page 245-270, February 2026.Abstract Functional morphologists have long noted that skeletal adaptations in primate phalanges reflect locomotor behavior. While most studies have successfully used two‐dimensional measurements to quantify general features of phalanx shape, a whole‐bone three‐dimensional analysis may better capture more subtle aspects of phalanx morphology that have ...

Sediment‐stressed reefs over the past 420 Myr
The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.In order to fully elucidate the relationship between siliciclastic sedimentation and reef development, there needs to be a significant step change in how we record ancient and recent reefs. Only through the collection of constrained quantitative data, we can progress beyond the largely conjectural associations postulated for many ancient reefal systems.
