Rotation in the Southeastern Caribbean Arc (Grenadines) Accommodated by Back‐Arc Basin Inversion

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Caribbean tectonic plate is typically modeled as a rigid plate moving along discrete plate boundaries. Isolated exposures on islands have long shown that above the Lesser Antilles subduction zone, the plate experienced contractional, strike‐slip, and extensional deformation, but the importance of this deformation remained long unknown ...

Quantifying Multi‐Source Sediment Supply in a Tropical Foreland Basin (Oligocene‐Miocene Nyalau Formation, Borneo)

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 38, Issue 2, March–April 2026.
Detrital zircon unmixing identifies three sediment sources for the Oligocene–Miocene Nyalau Formation, including a previously unrecognised syn‐depositional component characterised by Oligocene–Miocene volcanic zircons and Neoproterozoic populations absent from established sources.

The regional evolution of a dryland fluvio‐aeolian and lacustrine succession in response to allocyclic forcing: insights from the Early Permian Cutler Group, Utah, USA

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 297-354, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Preserved allocyclic signatures in the rock record often reflect basin‐scale climatic variability and serve as key proxies for correlating ancient dryland successions. The notion of climate cyclicity, however, remains largely untested on regionally constrained, outcrop‐calibrated studies.

Tracing Mantle Sources to Tectono–Magmatic Settings: Machine Learning Classification of Basalts Over the Past 1 Billion Years

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.
Abstract The geochemical heterogeneity of the mantle, recorded by mantle‐derived basalts, offers crucial insights into the evolution of mantle sources. However, recognizing mantle end‐members of basalts is challenging, as traditional trace element proxies yield ambiguous overlapping results in older basalts.

Water pathways and ancient lakes: Flowing towards new models to unravel the past

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1554-1562, November 2025.
Abstract Significant progress has been made in understanding lake basin evolution through climatic and tectonic changes using sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy, geochemistry, hydrology and watershed characteristics to interpret three main lake basin types: overfilled, balanced‐fill and underfilled, including fluvio‐lacustrine systems.

Sedimentary facies and architecture of mixed bioclastic‐siliciclastic deposits forming in an inferred strait environment: An example from the Early Pleistocene of Calabria, southern Italy

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1329-1353, November 2025.
Early Pleistocene mixed arenites and their associated conglomerates and sandstones were studied in detail in Calabria, southern Italy. This study suggests that the studied palaeo‐strait was not necessarily a wider and similarly oriented expression of the modern Strait of Messina.

The Cenomanian–Turonian boundary interval in the Western Canada Foreland Basin: Stratigraphy, geochemistry, geochronology and sea‐level changes recorded in expanded and condensed clastic successions

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1200-1258, November 2025.
Shallow‐marine mudstone of the Cretaceous Kaskapau Formation in the British Columbia foredeep preserves a 185 m thick record of OAE2. The organic carbon‐isotope and osmium‐isotope excursions can be correlated in detail with other Cenomanian–Turonian boundary sections around the world.

Reconstructing Early Cenozoic Paleodrainage and Tectonic Evolution in the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau: Evidence From Detrital Zircon and Tourmaline Provenance

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The Paleogene sedimentary basins of southeastern Tibet record sediment dispersal patterns associated with crustal deformation during the early stages of the India–Asia collision. We present detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology, tourmaline geochemistry, and petrographic data from the Gonjo and Mangkang basins that suggest a reginal interconnected

Kinematic Evolution of the Cephalonia‐Lefkada Transform Fault Zone: Strain Partitioning in Response to Subduction Margin Dynamics

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The eastern Adriatic margin is composed by an Ocean‐Continent Transition lithosphere (OCT), resulting in the southwards along‐strike variation from collision to subduction. The Cephalonia‐Lefkada Transform Fault zone (CTF) is a right‐lateral strike‐slip fault system located above the OCT and associated to this kinematic transition.

Hothouse Hydrology: Evolving River Dynamics in the Eocene Montllobat and Castissent Formations, Southern Pyrenees

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 37, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
We use palaeohydrology to quantify landscape‐scale geomorphic change in the Eocene Southern Pyrenean foreland. In response to hyperthermal events and tectonics during mountain‐building, rivers became suddenly steeper and faster, with enhanced water and sediment flux and a marked change in planform.
