South Atlantic continental margins of Africa: a comparison of the tectonic vs climate interplay on the evolution of equatorial west Africa and SW Africa margins

, 2005
The comparative review of 2 representative segments of Africa continental margin: the equatorial western Africa and the SW Africa margins, helps in analysing the main controlling factors on their development.

Geophysical Signals Induced by Magma Propagation: Insights From Analog Experiments

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The propagation of magma through the Earth's crust often generates seismic signals and surface deformation, both key indicators of volcanic unrest. While surface deformation is attributed to magma emplacement within fractures, identifying the exact source of the seismic signal remains challenging. Such signals could stem from fracturing at the

Seismic Sequence Stratigraphic Model and Hydrocarbon Potential of Yamama Formation in Al-Fao Area, Southeastern Iraq

Iraqi Geological Journal
One key step when interpreting seismic reflection data is sequence stratigraphy, which has improved with well logs and seismic data. By analyzing the different layers of sediment and rock, we can better understand the geologic history of an area

Decadal Erosion Rates and Sediment Buffering Identified Through Enhanced DEM Differencing Using Underutilized Global Satellite DEMs

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Quantifying decadal‐scale erosion rates in tectonically active regions is essential for assessing landscape hazards and constraining sediment budgets. A key question in Earth surface processes is how contemporary erosion measurements influenced by recent climatic extremes relate to long‐term geological rates.

Impacts of Glacial Isostatic Adjustment on Antarctic Subglacial Water Routing Since the Last Glacial Maximum

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The bedrock beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet has experienced widespread viscoelastic deformation as a response to ice‐sheet changes from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) to present day. The combined changes of the ice sheet and the bedrock most likely had impacted subglacial water routes.

Fine‐Scale Structure and Kinematics of an Active Submarine Strike‐Slip Fault From Micro‐Bathymetric Mapping and Analog Modeling: The North Alfeo Fault Offshore Catania (Eastern Sicily)

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Southern Italy and eastern Sicily have been the site of several destructive historical earthquakes. Here at the junction between the western edge of the Calabrian subduction zone and the Malta Escarpment several strike‐slip faults have been mapped, which may be the surface expression of the lateral slab tear fault and are candidate sources for

Spatial and Temporal Variations in Slip Rate Over Millions of Years on an Extensional Fault System and Implications for Seismic Hazard

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Slip rate is a key input for fault‐based seismic hazard assessment, with temporal and spatial variations in slip rate along and between faults influencing earthquake size and recurrence. Temporal variations in slip rate have been attributed to earthquake clustering and anti‐clustering in tectonically active settings.

Consolidated‐Undrained Shear Behavior of Diatomaceous Mudstones: Implications for Submarine Landslides

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Submarine landslides occur globally and have the potential to damage seafloor infrastructure and trigger tsunamis. Recently, diatomaceous weak layers have been hypothesized to play a role in triggering submarine landslides on passive continental margins by generating overpressure.

The Roles of Climate and Tectonics in the Tectonomorphic Evolution of the Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest) Region, Eastern Nepal Himalaya

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract To understand the interplay of climate and tectonics in driving long‐term erosion and landscape evolution in the Himalayan orogen, this study examines the tectono‐thermal evolution of the Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest)‐Rolwaling‐Okhaldhunga region in eastern Nepal.
