Kinematics and Timing Constraints in a Transpressive Tectonic Regime: The Example of the Posada-Asinara Shear Zone (NE Sardinia, Italy)

open access: yesGeosciences, 2020
Detailed geological field mapping, integrated with meso- and microstructural investigations, kinematic of the flow and finite strain analyses, combined with geochronology, are fundamental tools to obtain information on the temperature–deformation–timing ...

Rate dependent shear bands in a shear transformation zone model of amorphous solids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We use Shear Transformation Zone (STZ) theory to develop a deformation map for amorphous solids as a function of the imposed shear rate and initial material preparation.

Shear Strength Characteristics of Clay-Gravel Layer and Its Slope Failure Law and Mechanism

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The Anqing Formation clay-gravel layer is widely distributed in the Anqing area of the upper reaches of the Wanjiang River. It is a typical soil-rock mixture composed of gravel and clay.

San-in shear zone in southwest Japan, revealed by GNSS observations

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2017
A right-lateral shear zone in the San-in region, southwest Japan, has been proposed by previous geological and seismological studies. It locates 350 km north of the Nankai Trough, that is, the main plate boundary between the subducting Philippine Sea and

Late Ediacaran lateral-escape tectonics as recorded by the Patos shear zone (Borborema Province, NE Brazil)

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Geology, 2021
Lateral escape tectonics mediated by strike-slip fault zones are an efficient mechanism of rock deformation in the continental crust of collision zones.

Magnetic buoyancy instabilities in the presence of magnetic flux pumping at the base of the solar convection zone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We perform idealized numerical simulations of magnetic buoyancy instabilities in three dimensions, solving the equations of compressible magnetohydrodynamics in a model of the solar tachocline.

Kinematics and Vorticity in Kangmar Dome, Southern Tibet: Testing Midcrustal Channel-flow Models for the Himalaya [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Kinematic, kinematic vorticity (Wm), and deformation temperature analyses were completed to test the hypothesis that midcrustal rocks exposed in the core of the Kangmar gneiss dome, southern Tibet record ductile deformation patterns of a “frozen” segment

LONG-LIVED STRUCTURAL ENSEMBLES OF THE EAST EUROPEAN PLATFORM. ARTICLE 1. THE BASEMENT TECTONICS

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2018
General features of the basement tectonics of the East European platform (EEP) have been considered. The important role of the long-lived Paleoproterozoic tectonic zones has been noted.

Constraining the Timing of Evolution of Shear Zones in Two Collisional Orogens: Fusing Structural Geology and Geochronology

open access: yesGeosciences, 2022
In recent decades, constraining the timing of shear activity has been one of the main topics of research about the tectono-metamorphic evolution of orogenic belts.

Geochronology of shear zones – A review

open access: yesEarth-Science Reviews, 2018
Abstract Shear zones play a major role in the deformation of the crust at a variety of scales, as expressions of strain localization during orogeny and rifting, and also as reactivated structures. They influence the geometry and evolution of orogenic belts and rifts, crustal rheology, magma ascent and emplacement, and fluid flow.
