MATHEMATICAL MODELS SIMULATING THE FORMATION OF THE STRESS-STRAIN STATE OF EPIPLATFORM OROGENS

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2019
The sources of the natural stress-strain state (SSS) of epiplatform orogens are investigated by tectonophysical methods based on seismological data. According to the available data, the horizontal axes of the main deviatoric extension are dominant in ...

Complex Shear‐Wave Splitting Behavior in the Northern Andes and Possible Implications for Mantle Flow Around the Caldas Tear

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We investigate shear‐wave splitting of SKS and SKKS phases from teleseismic earthquakes to study the anisotropic structure of the lithosphere and upper mantle beneath the Colombian Andes. This area is shaped by complex interactions between the subducting Nazca and Caribbean plates beneath the South American plate. A recent broadband deployment

Cajon Pass and the Southern San Andreas Fault System: Earthquake Cycle Stress Accumulation and Present‐Day Loading

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract With over a century since the last major rupture affecting the wider Los Angeles region, tectonic stress has steadily built along the southern San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems, raising concerns of an imminent large earthquake. Cajon Pass, located at the junction of these faults, represents a critical site for potential through‐going ...

Gateway exchange, climatic forcing and circulation of the Mediterranean Sea during the late Miocene: A model perspective

open access: yes, 2017
Oceanen transporteren - en fungeren als opslag van - grote hoeveelheden warmte, zout, en andere chemische verbindingen, waaronder CO2. Ze zijn daarom een belangrijk onderdeel van het aardse klimaatsysteem.

Rifts, orogens, cratons, and global tectonics: Introduction

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2017
A key role in developing the Earth theory is played by comparative studies of orogens, rifts, and platforms in the equatorial, middle and high latitudes of Asia and the adjacent Arctic regions.

Along‐Strike Seismic Structure of the Andreanof Aleutian Arc Segment and Implications for the Formation of Continental Crust

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Crust formed in volcanic arcs is accreted to continents over geologic time, serving as the source material for new continental crust in Earth's present and recent past. Geochemically, arcs are found to be significantly more mafic than bulk continental crust.

Hydrological Impact of Earthquakes on Reverse and Normal Faults: Results From Numerical Models

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract I investigate earthquake‐induced hydrological signals related to poroelastic deformation, thermal pressurization, fault‐zone dilatancy and rupture of a pressurized reservoir at depth. This is performed using a two dimensional plane strain model that simulates ruptures on reverse and normal faults governed by rate‐and‐state friction coupled to ...

Linked Canyons and Fans Communicate Through a Migrating Bedrock‐Alluvial Transition

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Net‐erosional fluvial landscapes are often treated separately from net‐depositional fluvial landscapes. Yet these landscapes are often tightly linked by means of a moving‐boundary bedrock‐alluvial transition. We consider a linked canyon‐fan system in a Basin and Range province, basing our work loosely on Rainbow Canyon and Panamint Valley, USA.

Arc Heat Flow and Magmatic Heat Budgets

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract We evaluate hydrothermal heat loss from 11 volcanic‐arc segments (∼6,000 km of arc length, ∼10% of the global total), motivated by the observation that much magmatic heat ultimately crosses the land surface as heated aqueous fluid. Heat loss takes place by volcanic eruption, geothermal heat conduction to the surface, fumarolic (vapor ...

Basement Geometry and Cover‐Basement Relationships in the Central‐Western Jaca‐Pamplona Basin (Southern Pyrenees): Along‐Strike Variations and Role of Structural Inheritance

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract This study presents a detailed, geometrical characterization of the central‐western domain of the Jaca‐Pamplona Basin based on a combined interpretation of seismic and surface data and the construction of four serial cross‐sections. For the studied portion of the basin, our results highlight that the basement is notably folded and faulted and ...
