Sedimentation record in the Konkan-Kerala Basin: implications for the evolution of the Western Ghats and the Western Indian passive margin [PDF]

, 2007
The Konkan and Kerala Basins constitute a major depocentre for sediment from the onshore hinterland of Western India and as such provide a valuable record of the timing and magnitude of Cenozoic denudation along the continental margin.

Long‐Distance Aeolian Dust Deposited on the Island of Crete (Greece): Detection, Characterization, and Provenance

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Long‐distance aeolian dust transport represents one of the largest sediment fluxes on Earth, with North Africa being a dominant source. The island of Crete in the Eastern Mediterranean lies within major transport pathways but remains underexplored regarding multi‐proxy fingerprinting of deposited dust.

Paleoseismic Evidence of Recent Co‐Seismic Ruptures in Western Tierra del Fuego, Chile

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Magallanes‐Fagnano fault (MFF) in Tierra del Fuego (TDF) is a major left‐lateral transform boundary between the South American and Scotia plates. While surface ruptures associated with the 1949 earthquakes have been documented in Argentina east of the Fagnano Lake, their extension to the west remained uncertain.

The role of extension in the Miocene denudation of the Nevado-Filábride Complex, Betic Cordillera (SE Spain) [PDF]

, 1997
The Internal Zone of the Betic Cordillera, SE Spain, consists of a nappe stack of three complexes, the deepest of which is the Nevado-Filábride Complex.

Formation process of the gravel‐dominated deposit from the 2011 Tohoku‐oki tsunami in Ofunato, northeastern Japan, inferred by integrating sedimentology and tsunami modelling

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1378-1402, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tsunami deposits serve as geological records of past events and are essential for understanding the occurrence and dynamics of tsunamis. However, conventional research has largely focused on sandy and boulder deposits, leaving gravel‐dominated tsunami deposits comparatively underexplored; furthermore, their characteristics and formation ...

Sediment transport and depositional hydrodynamics on the eastern Korean continental margin revealed by surface sediment granulometry

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1469-1487, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Terrigenous sediments are transported from coastal areas and shelves to deeper continental margins by multiple processes. Understanding these processes is critical for evaluating the ecological impacts of fine‐grained sediment deposition and predicting future changes in sediment dispersal under rapid climate change.

Characteristics and Tectonic Implications of the Geomorphic Indices of the Watersheds Around the Lijiang–Jinpingshan Fault

Remote Sensing
The Lijiang–Jinpingshan fault (LJF) is an important secondary boundary fault that obliquely cuts the Sichuan–Yunnan rhombic block. It is of great significance for understanding the tectonic evolution of the Sichuan–Yunnan rhombic block and even the ...

Earthquake geology: science, society and critical facilities

Annals of Geophysics, 2014
Earthquake geology studies the effects, the mechanics and the impacts of earthquakes in the geological environment. Its role is also to decode the fault history, therefore its approach is fault specific and its outcomes are of decisive value for seismic ...

Quantitative analysis of channel characteristics of distributive fluvial systems

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1606-1630, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Distributive fluvial systems (DFSs) are characterised by a radial distributive channel pattern in planform and dominate modern‐day sedimentary basins. Where aggradation occurs, such as in sedimentary basins, there is increased preservation potential, and therefore, DFSs are hypothesised to constitute a significant portion of the continental ...

A palaeoecological approach to neotectonics : the geomorphic evolution of the Ntem River in and below its interior delta, SW Cameroon [PDF]

, 2010
The Late Tertiary to Quaternary evolution of the Ntem interior delta in SW Cameroon shall be modelled. A step fault was formed along neotectonically remobilized Precambrian structures.
