Confronting Episodic vs. Continuous Heat Sources in Long‐Lived Hot Orogens: Insights From Petrochronological Studies in the Nova Venecia Complex, Araçuaí Orogen (SE Brazil)

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Orogenic belts that sustain elevated temperatures at intermediate crustal depths for tens of millions of years are known as hot orogens. The evolution of these hot orogens is largely influenced by thermal maturation, primarily driven by the distribution of heat‐producing elements (HPEs), such as K, Th and U in the overthickened crust.

Tomographic image of the crust and uppermost mantle of the Ionian and Aegean regions

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1997
We present a tomographic view of the crust and uppermost mantle beneath the Central Mediterranean area obtained from P-wave arrival times of regional earthquakes selected from the ISC bulletin.

Rock‐buffered versus fluid‐buffered geochemistry of structurally controlled, hydrothermal dolomite: Insights from the Sichuan Basin, China

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Structurally controlled hydrothermal dolomitization, commonly driven by high‐pressure, high‐temperature fluid–rock reactions, offers insights into the tectonic evolution of sedimentary basins and the geochemical composition of their diagenetic fluids.

Sedimentary record of submarine gravity‐flow events in the southern Ryukyu forearc during the last 200 000 years: archive of mega‐earthquakes and tsunamis

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite high convergence velocity, the southern Ryukyu subduction has relatively low and sparse instrumental seismicity, in contrast with the Yaeyama Islands, hit by huge tsunamis over the last few thousand years. This study explores the potential of deep marine sediments to record past large earthquakes and tsunamis.

TERRAIN TECTONICS OF THE CENTRAL ASIAN FOLDED BELT

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
The terrain analysis concept envisages primarily a possibility of approximation of fragments / terrains of various geodynamic settings which belong to different plates. The terrain analysis can supplement the theory of plate tectonics in solving problems

Fe Oxidation State and Oxygen Isotope Composition of Diverse Metasomatized Peridotite Rocks

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metasomatic fluids are thought to be oxidising agents that react with the surrounding mantle rocks, causing changes in the bulk Fe3+/ΣFe, their redox state, and affecting the partitioning of trace elements and the fractionation of O isotopes. Worldwide distributed metasomatized peridotites represent the ideal case study to investigate the role

Terrane Collision‐Induced Subduction Initiation: Mode Selection and Implications for Western Pacific Subduction System

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
In the regime of plate tectonics, the subduction of an oceanic plate generally terminates with the collision and accretion of continental terranes. Then, a new subduction zone may form in the neighboring oceanic plates, which is defined as the terrane ...

The First 10 Million Years of Rear‐Arc Magmas Following Backarc Basin Formation Behind the Izu Arc

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
IODP Site U1437 is located in the Izu rear‐arc region, approximately 330 km west of the Izu‐Bonin trench axis. The oldest four units (Units IV through Unit VII) include volcaniclastic sediment and in situ hyaloclastites.
