Thermal Structure Beneath the Himalayan Orogen Revealed by Pn‐Wave Receiver Function Imaging
Abstract The Himalayan orogen formed through convergence between the Indian and Eurasian plates, and parts of the subducting Indian crust were impeded by the Lhasa terrane and accreted into the orogen. However, whether the Indian lower crust was stripped from the downgoing plate and incorporated into the orogen, and by what mechanism, remain debated ...

This paper discusses models showing the formation of the Central Mediterranean region and the geodynamic setting of the Apennine Peninsula. Cataclastic analysis is used for a repeated reconstruction of the Central Mediterranean region.

Seismic Evidence for Slab Tearing Beneath the Indo‐Myanmar Subduction Zone
Abstract Slab tearing has been increasingly recognized as a key geodynamic process influencing the evolution of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis. However, whether, where and how the subducted Indian slab beneath the Indo‐Myanmar subduction zone has been torn remains poorly constrained.

Abstract We performed a stress tensor inversion using focal mechanisms from intermediate‐depth and deep earthquakes to estimate the stress regime of the Pacific slab beneath southwestern Japan. We focused on the temporally averaged stress field derived from the recent 28‐year data set of the F‐net CMT solutions.

The stressed state of the Earth’s crust in the Altai-Sayan mountain region: reconstruction based on the modified algorithms of the cataclastic method [PDF]
The article presents the results of a new reconstruction of stress in the Earth’s crust in the Altai-Sayan mountain region and their adjacent territories based on seismological data, and using a new modification of the method of cataclastic analysis ...

Regolith in Motion: Dynamic Surface Evolution After Lunar Impacts
Abstract Multi‐temporal observations captured by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera provide valuable insights into contemporary surface changes. These images reveal that minor impact events (resulting in <100‐m diameter craters) significantly alter regolith structure over great distances (>1,000 crater diameters) by increasing the meter‐to ...

The Eastern Pontides is characterized by the many of intrusive bodies formed throughout the late Mesozoic-early Cenozoic. Most of these are I-type granitoids, but here, we present for the first time an A-type pluton from the region to assess source ...

Shallow Modeling and Site‐Amplification From Telecommunications Fibers in Istanbul
Abstract We use pre‐existing fiber‐optic telecommunications fibers in Istanbul, Türkiye, to generate a seismic velocity model of the subsurface down to 100 m depth, and estimate site‐amplification in the region. We collect ambient noise, predominantly from urban traffic, along the 8 km segment fiber, extract Rayleigh wave dispersion curves, and use a ...

Zones of concentrated deformation (flower structures): field observations and modeling data
Our study was focused on narrow linear zones that penetrate to different depths the crust and have complex infrastructure. Rocks in such zones are more intensively tectonically altered in comparison with the background.

Abstract The Tan‐Lu Fault Zone (TLFZ), the largest lithosphere‐scale strike‐slip fault in eastern China, has experienced multiple tectonic stages and remains high seismic activity, including the 1668 Tancheng earthquake (M 8.5). Here we employ dense‐array receiver functions to resolve crustal thickness, Vp/Vs ratio, and seismic discontinuities in the ...
