Late Campanian (74–71 Ma) Arabia–Eastern Anatolia Collision and Its Geodynamic Implications

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The East Anatolian Plateau is a major collisional feature within the Tethyan realm formed as a late‐stage result of the collision between East Anatolia and the Arabian Platform. The timing of this collision is highly debated, with estimates from the Late Cretaceous to the Miocene.

Thermal Structure Beneath the Himalayan Orogen Revealed by Pn‐Wave Receiver Function Imaging

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
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 ...

Late Carboniferous Paleomagnetism From North Qiangtang Block Reveals a Multibranched Paleo‐Tethys Ocean

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The North Qiangtang Block occupies a pivotal position within the eastern Tethyan realm, and its paleogeographic reconstruction is critical for constraining Tethyan geometry and evolution. However, its Late Paleozoic paleogeography and Paleo‐Tethyan Ocean–continent configuration remain controversial due to limited reliable age‐constrained ...

Quantification of the Eocene–Oligocene transition in the Zagros Foreland Basin: Palaeogeographic control on sequence architecture and tectonic signal preservation

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 3, June 2026.
New bio‐sequence framework for the Eocene–Oligocene transition in Zagros. Geochemical data validate basin depth control on SB1 vs. SB2 boundaries. SEM‐EDS analyses confirm subaerial exposure versus continuous deposition. Sensitivity analysis quantifies sub‐10% uncertainty in stratigraphic interpretations. Resolves the Pyrenean orogeny's variable impact

Middle Cretaceous Andean‐Type Arc Evolution in the Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone (Shalair Valley), Iraq: New Geochronological and Geochemical Constraints

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The middle Cretaceous granitoid plutons of the Shalair Valley, situated in northeastern Iraq, constitute a principal magmatic component of the Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone within the northwestern segment of the Zagros Orogenic Belt. Among these plutons, the equigranular Aulan body (AG) and the porphyritic Laladar body (LG) were crystallized at 111.0 ±

Geochemistry and Petrogenesis of Permo–Triassic Silicic Volcanic Rocks from the Circum-Rhodope Belt in the Vardar/Axios Zone, Northern Greece: An Example of a Post-Collision Extensional Tectonic Setting in the Tethyan Realm

Geosciences
The western side of the Vertiskos Unit crystalline basement in northern Greece is fringed by a Permo–Triassic low-grade metamorphic volcano-sedimentary complex that belongs to the Circum-Rhodope Belt (CRB), which is an important part of the Vardar/ Axios
