Contrasting stress fields on correlating margins of the South Atlantic [PDF]

, 2015
The “passiveness” of passive continental margins across the globe is currently under debate since several studies have shown that these margins may experience a variety of stress states and undergo significant vertical movement post-breakup.

Growth and reworking of freshwater microbially‐mediated carbonates in wind‐stressed lake margins (Lago Sarmiento, Southern Patagonia)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the biotic and abiotic influences on the deposition and diagenesis of recent microbial carbonates is crucial for addressing the environmental and ecological significance of ancient organosedimentary structures. This study investigates these factors and their expression in the microstructure of Holocene tufa thrombolites from a ...

Post-collisional Tertiary–Quaternary mafic alkalic magmatism in the Carpathian–Pannonian region: a review [PDF]

, 2004
Mafic alkalic volcanism was widespread in the Carpathian–Pannonian region (CPR) between 11 and 0.2 Ma. It followed the Miocene continental collision of the Alcapa and Tisia blocks with the European plate, as subduction-related calc-alkaline magmatism was

Exploring the Gravimetric and Geochronological Links in Ancient Terranes of the São Francisco Craton and Borborema Province, NE‐Brazil

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deep crustal fragments and structural lineaments identified through satellite gravity data provide evidence for the extension of the reworked ancient basement of the Central African Block into the northern São Francisco Craton and southern Borborema Province.

The Main Pelagonian Detachment (MPD): extensional reactivation of the frontal thrust of the Internal Zones of the Hellenides (Greece)

Comptes Rendus. Géoscience
During the orogenic development of the Hellenides, the “Frontal Thrust of Internal Zones” (FTIZ) localised tectonic superposition of the Internal Zones over the External Zones.

3D Quantification of Subsidence During Pyrenean Retro‐Wedge Initiation: Role of Structural and Thermal Inheritance on Hyperextended Margin Inversion (Aquitaine Basin)

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present novel 3D subsidence data enabling vertical movements' quantification during the early formation of the Pyrenean retro‐wedge. From Cenomanian to Turonian times, subsidence is relatively low (~26 ± 10 m/Myr), corresponding to a brief 10 Myr thermal re‐equilibration of the European lithosphere following the hyperextended rift episode ...

Exhumation, crustal deformation, and thermal structure of the Nepal Himalaya derived from the inversion of thermochronological and thermobarometric data and modeling of the topography [PDF]

, 2010
Two end‐member kinematic models of crustal shortening across the Himalaya are currently debated: one assumes localized thrusting along a single major thrust fault, the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) with nonuniform underplating due to duplexing, and the ...

Linking Stress Drop and Slip Heterogeneity to Assess Source Rupture Directivity for Earthquakes in Central Italy

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we examine the relationship between Brune stress drop and fault slip where the stress drop is estimated using the Empirical Green's Function (EGF) method and slip distribution is derived from seismic and geodetic data inversion.

Rheology and deep tectonics

Annals of Geophysics, 1997
The distribution of the rheological properties of the lithosphere in space, and their variations in time, have a profound effect on the resulting tectonic deformation.

Evidence for Anthropogenic Surface Loading as Trigger Mechanism of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake

, 2011
Two and a half years prior to China's M7.9 Wenchuan earthquake of May 2008, at least 300 million metric tons of water accumulated with additional seasonal water level changes in the Minjiang River Valley at the eastern margin of the Longmen Shan.
