The origin of volcanic rock fragments in Upper Pliocene Grad Member of the Mura Formation, North-Eastern Slovenia

open access: yesGeologija, 2006
Fresh-water, coarse-grained and detritus-dominated Mura Formation in North Eastern Slovenia includes pyroclastic and volcaniclastic deposits originating from Upper Pliocene volcanic activity of basaltic geochemical character.

Modeling the Deformation Response to Mt. Etna Sliding Flank

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The southeastern flank of Mt. Etna volcano slides into the Ionian Sea at rates of centimeters per year. While gravitational spreading and tectonic forces can cause volcanic flank collapse, their effects intrinsically trade off with magmatic forcing. There is still strong uncertainty regarding the processes underlying the sliding.

Physical Modeling of Subaerial Granular Landslide‐Induced Tsunami Waves

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Investigating tsunamigenic landslides via physical experiments is important to increase the understanding of these often devastating events for improving disaster prevention. Landslide masses often consist of granular material, which usually is characterized by non‐uniform grain size distributions, irregular shape and pronounced surface ...

Sedimentological and stratigraphic evolution of the southern part of the Barberton greenstone belt: A case of changing provenance and stability [PDF]

open access: yes
The sedimentological and stratigraphic evolution of the 3.5 to 3.3 Ga Barberton Greenstone Belt can be divided into three principal stages: (1) the volcanic platform stage during which at least 8 km of mafic and ultramafic volcanic rocks, minor felsic ...

Quantifying Multi‐Source Sediment Supply in a Tropical Foreland Basin (Oligocene‐Miocene Nyalau Formation, Borneo)

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 38, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Detrital zircon unmixing identifies three sediment sources for the Oligocene–Miocene Nyalau Formation, including a previously unrecognised syn‐depositional component characterised by Oligocene–Miocene volcanic zircons and Neoproterozoic populations absent from established sources.

THE PAIPA VOLCANO, EASTERN CORDILLERA OF COLOMBIA, SOUTH AMERICA (PART II): PETROGRAPHY AND MAJOR ELEMENTS PETROLOGY

open access: yesEarth Sciences Research Journal, 2005
Paipa volcano products are mainly pyroclastic pumice and ash flow tuffs, lava domes and pyroclastic block and ash flow tuffs. They are classified as alkaline rhyolites and trachytes and high-K calcalkaline rhyolites.

New Cretaceous Paleomagnetic and Geochronologic Data From the Antarctic Peninsula: Constraints on the Pre‐Opening Tectonic Evolution of the Drake Passage

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Reconstructing oroclinal orogens along the Fuegian Andes‐northern Antarctic Peninsula provides critical constraints on the pre‐opening tectonic evolution of the Drake Passage, although such efforts are limited by a lack of reliable Cretaceous paleomagnetic and geochronological data.

Research in volcanic geology, petrology and planetary science at MIT, 1969 to 1974 [PDF]

open access: yes
The behavior of volcanoes was studied by geologic mapping, petrologic investigations of lava and xenoliths, physical measurements, and theoretical modelling. Field observations were conducted in Alaska (Nunivak Island), Iceland, Hawaii (Mauna Kea), Italy
