Enhanced Bathymetric Inversion for Tectonic Features via Multi-Gravity-Component DenseNet: A Case Study of Rift Identification in the South China Sea

Remote Sensing
Submarine rift systems represent critical tectonic features whose accurate bathymetric characterization remains challenging yet essential for understanding plate boundary dynamics.

Structural-tectonic evaluation of a part of the Branisko tunnel for use of fuzzi logic [PDF]

Acta Montanistica Slovaca, 2007
Branisko tunnel (Slovak Republic) was partly excavated by full-profile drifter. The rock massif deformed by tectonic structures markedly influences energetic and pace demands of tunnel drifter.

Orbital and eustatic control of basin hydrology during the first stage of the Messinian Salinity Crisis

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
The paleo‐hydrology of the Sorbas Basin (SE Spain) and the wider Mediterranean region during the deposition of the Primary Lower Gypsum (PLG) stage of the Messinian Salinity Crisis, from ~5.97 to ~5.60 Ma, was affected by tectonics, precession‐forced climate oscillations, and eustatic sea‐level change.

Stress and Rock Failure Near Salt Bodies: Insights From Field Observations, Kinematic Modeling, and Mechanical Analysis Near Arches National Park, Paradox Basin, Utah

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Salt's inherent weakness and capacity for ductile deformation create significant mechanical contrasts that locally perturb the stress field in surrounding rocks, often leading to deviations from regional tectonic stresses. Variations in local stress are a critical factor for wellbore stability, seal integrity, and fluid flow in subsurface ...

Temporal Changes in Europa's Ice Shell Thickness: Insights From Models of Convection

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Europa is characterized by a thin ice Ih shell overlying a subsurface ocean and a large solid core. Estimates of the outer ice shell's thickness range from a few kilometers to several tens of kilometers, with strong implications for Europa's thermal and geological history.

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.

Lithospheric Delamination Below the North American Midcontinent Ceased Subsidence in Cratonic Basins

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Cratonic lithospheres carry a long history of tectonic modifications that result in heterogeneous structures, as revealed by an increasing number of geophysical observations. The existence of cratonic basins indicates protracted periods of tectonic modification, causing subsidence within global continental interiors.

Crustal Structure of Laurentia and Peri‐Gondwanan Terranes Beneath Ireland and Britain and Comparison With Eastern North America

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Appalachian‐Caledonian orogen was built during the Paleozoic by accretion of peri‐Gondwanan terranes onto Laurentia, culminating in the formation of Pangea. During the Mesozoic, Pangea broke apart, displacing one section of the belt to eastern North America and another to northwestern Europe.

Modeling Geoid and Dynamic Topography From Tomography‐Based Thermo‐Chemical Mantle Convection

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Mantle convection causes the most important contribution to the geoid and dynamic topography. With mantle density inferred from high‐resolution tomography models and numerical methods solving the governing equations of viscous mantle flow, the modeled geoid can fit the observations well.

The 2004 and 2005 Sumatra Earthquakes: Implications for the Lisbon earthquake [PDF]

, 2005
The Sumatra mega-earthquake of 26 December 2004 (Mw=9.3) was the strongest earthquake in the world since the 1964 Alaska earthquake and the fifth strongest since 1900. The earthquake occurred at the interface of the India and Burma plates and triggered a
