Geological understanding of plate tectonics : basic concepts, illustrations, examples and new perspectives. [PDF]

, 2014
In this paper, I have reviewed some basic concepts of the plate tectonics theory in a plain geological language with the aim of encouraging geologists to correctly understand this theory in its applications to geological problems.

Risk‐Targeted Seismic Design Maps for Mexico

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Risk‐targeted seismic design maps for Mexico are presented. Risk‐targeted approach establishes an acceptable risk level, measured with the annual collapse probability, to determine seismic design coefficients. Seismic design maps are calculated for an annual probability of collapse of 1 × 10−4 and 2 × 10−4.

Interlacing ruptures of the 2024 Wushi earthquake (Chinese Tian Shan) controlled by structural inheritance

Communications Earth & Environment
The 2024 Mw 7.0 Wushi earthquake is the largest earthquake within the seismically active Tian Shan during the past three decades. Through integrated analyses of seismic, geodetic, and geologic data, here we investigate the fault structure corresponding ...

Rigorous statistical detection and characterization of a deviation from the Gutenberg-Richter distribution above magnitude 8 in subduction zones

, 2002
We present a quantitative statistical test for the presence of a crossover c0 in the Gutenberg-Richter distribution of earthquake seismic moments, separating the usual power law regime for seismic moments less than c0 from another faster decaying regime ...

Carbon Storage in Fold‐and‐Thrust Belts: An Overlooked Gigatonne Storage Opportunity

Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents numerical investigations of the trapping characteristics of fold‐and‐thrust belt structures, defining three carbon capture and storage (CCS) play types that could be used to store commercial volumes (millions of tonnes) of CO2.

Early Cretaceous–Late Miocene Basin–Mountains Pattern in the Northeastern Margin of the Tibetan Plateau, NW China: Evidence From Detrital Zircon Chronology in the Lanzhou Basin

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Using DZmix and DZstats models, we quantified the contributions of potential sources of the Lanzhou basin. Our findings indicate that the Cenozoic cooling and denudation signals primarily originated from Qilian and West Qinling, which were the main sediment sources.

Neoarchean Arc Magmatism and Crust Recycling in the Northern Marginal Zone of the Limpopo Complex, Zimbabwe: New Insights From Zircon U‐Pb‐Hf Isotopes of a Charnockite Suite

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Charnockites with 2691–2607 Ma magmatic ages from the NMZ show arc‐magmatic geochemical signatures. They correspond to the lower‐crustal equivalent of the Chilimanzi Suite Granite in the Zimbabwe Craton. Lu‐Hf isotopic data of magmatic zircons show negative εHf(t) values (−11.18 to −2.20) with TDMC ages of 3699–3158 Ma, suggesting their protolith ...

Origins of the Pangkaimen Au Deposit in the Northern Great Xing'an Range, China: Evidence From Geochronological, Geochemical, Fluid Inclusion, and H–O–S–Pb Isotope Data

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
The Pangkaimen Au–Ag deposits belong to the epithermal Au deposits, which are of great significance for guiding the research and development of this type of gold deposit. Metallogenic model diagram of Pangkaimen Au–Ag deposit. ABSTRACT The gold (Au) metallogenic belt in the northern Great Xing'an Range is characterised by the wide occurrence of the ...

Mesozoic–Cenozoic Thermochronology of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan System, NW China

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Tectonothermal history of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan system compared with the major tectonic events at far‐field plate margins. ABSTRACT The Tarim Basin, an oil‐bearing basin in northwest China, is tectonically and sedimentologically linked to the Southern Tianshan Orogenic Belt.

Integrating Aegean Last Interglacial faunas into the Mediterranean palaeobiogeographic framework: New evidence from Karpathos (Greece)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Last Interglacial (LIG) or Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e, spanning 129 to 116 kyrs ago, is recognised as one of the warmest periods in the Quaternary, with global sea surface temperatures (SSTs) 1°C–2°C higher than today, sea levels 5–10 m above the current level and biogeographical range expansion of specific tropical species into the ...
