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, EarlyView.
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 ...

Evolution Model for the Paleoproterozoic Talvivaara Mudstone‐Hosted Ni‐Zn‐Cu‐Co Deposit in Fennoscandia

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Paleoproterozoic Talvivaara mudstone is a very large sulfidic Ni‐Co deposit that records enhanced organic matter accumulation during the global Shunga Event. Here, rock geochemistry and microscale S and Fe isotope composition of in situ pyrrhotites and pyrites are studied in well‐characterised, well‐preserved drill core samples.

Ductile Extrusion Triggered by Continental Collision in NE Brazil

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Borborema Province in northeastern Brazil hosts one of the world's largest strike‐slip shear zone networks, active during the late Neoproterozoic assembly of West Gondwana. Whether these shear zones initiated during active continental collision or as a post‐orogenic response to far‐field stresses remains debated.

The Late Miocene Southern and Central Taranaki Inversion Phase (SCTIP) and related sequence stratigraphy and paleogeography [PDF]

, 2008
We present a new sequence stratigraphic scheme for Taranaki Basin that identifies four 3rd order duration (3 - 4 m.y.) sequences of Middle Miocene to Pleistocene age.

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.

The Cenozoic basins of Sardinia (Italy) and their Late Miocene to Present inversion: insight from new seismic data

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin
This study aims to discuss the history and significance of the Cenozoic basins in Sardinia, both before and after the rotation of the Corsica-Sardinia Block, within the Western Mediterranean geodynamic framework, taking into account new seismic data.

Crustal fault reactivation facilitating lithospheric folding/buckling in the central Indian Ocean

, 1996
High-quality, normal-incidence seismic reflection data confirm that tectonic deformation in the central Indian Ocean occurs at two spatial scales: whole lithosphere folding with wavelengths varying between 100 and 300 km, and compressional reactivation ...

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
The southwest Pacific region is geologically complex and exhibits all the principal causes of tsunami generation. While contemporary events and historical catalogs indicate that trans‐Pacific tsunamis have affected this area (∼18% of tsunamis reported globally), it is unique in that a large part of the tsunami effects over the ∼200‐year historical ...

Evaluating the sustainability of mineral water consumption using multi‐scale hydrogeophysics in Caxambu, Brazil

Near Surface Geophysics, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 234-251, June 2026.
Abstract A better understanding of the near‐surface aquifer system of the Caxambu Water Park, located in the Minas Gerais State, Brazil, has been achieved. The study aimed to identify groundwater reservoirs and flow patterns and contribute to the hydrogeological conceptual model using a multi‐scale geophysical approach.
