Techniques, problems and uses of mega-geomorphological mapping [PDF]

A plea for a program of global geomorphological mapping based on remote sensing data is presented. It is argued that the program is a necessary step in bringing together the rapidly evolving concepts of plate tectonics with the science of geomorphology ...

Enhancing event stratigraphic correlations in the ultra‐deep Japan Trench using XRF‐CS cluster‐based chemostratigraphy

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.
Cluster‐based chemostratigraphy using XRF‐CS enables high‐resolution correlation of event deposits across contrasting depositional settings in the Japan Trench. This approach reveals previously unrecognised events and compositional heterogeneity, offering new insights into sediment provenance and earthquake‐triggered deposition, with implications for ...

Thick-Skinned and Thin-Skinned Tectonics: A Global Perspective

, 2017
This paper gives an overview of the large-scale tectonic styles encountered in orogens worldwide. Thin-skinned and thick-skinned tectonics represent two end member styles recognized in mountain ranges.

Plate tectonics drive tropical reef biodiversity dynamics

Nature Communications, 2016
The Cretaceous breakup of Gondwana strongly modified the global distribution of shallow tropical seas reshaping the geographic configuration of marine basins.

Super-Earths: A New Class of Planetary Bodies

, 2011
Super-Earths, a class of planetary bodies with masses ranging from a few Earth-masses to slightly smaller than Uranus, have recently found a special place in the exoplanetary science.

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

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.
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.

Deciphering depositional controls and evolution of a lacustrine supradetachment basin through facies analysis: Gördes Basin, Western Türkiye

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.
The lacustrine Gördes Supradetachment Basin was developed along the Simav detachment fault during postorogenic extension in the north of the Menderes Massif in western Anatolia. The basin‐fill succession is represented by alluvial fan, Gilbert‐type delta, shoal‐water delta, foreshore, shoreface, offshore‐transition and peat‐forming mire deposits.

Secular cooling of Earth as a source of intraplate stress [PDF]

The once popular idea that changes in planetary volume play an important role in terrestrial orogeny and tectonics was generally discarded with the acceptance of plate tectonics.

Study on damage and failure characteristics of loaded gas‐bearing rock–coal–rock combination structures

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The influence of gas on the instability and failure of rock–coal–rock combinations is considered. The damage characteristics of gas‐bearing rock–coal–rock combinations under different confining pressures, axial loading rates, and gas are revealed. A constitutive model for gas‐bearing rock–coal–rock damage considering gas is established.
