Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2025.Abstract Conventional low‐temperature thermochronology can resolve rock cooling over geological timescales (>1 Myr) typically associated with ∼6–2 km of erosion, often induced by tectonic processes. Lower magnitude erosional events, however, produced by surface processes remain difficult to resolve.

Magnitude of rift-related burial and orogenic contraction in the Marrakech High Atlas revealed by zircon (U-Th)/He thermochronology and thermal modelling [PDF]
, 2016 The Atlas of Morocco is a continental rift developed during the Triassic-Jurassic and moderately inverted during the Cenozoic. The High Atlas south of Marrakech, with exposures of basement and Triassic early synrift deposits, has been viewed as a high ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2025.Abstract The Transantarctic Mountains form the longest and highest extensional mountain range on Earth, marking the boundary between the Antarctic craton and the Mesozoic‐Cenozoic rifted Ross Sea lithosphere. During the Cenozoic, deep offshore troughs, such as the Terror Rift, developed at the front of the Transantarctic Mountains in response to ...

Late Miocene-Early Pliocene Matemateaonga Formation in eastern Taranaki Peninsula: A new 1:50,000 geological map and stratigraphic framework [PDF]
, 2004 In recent years the Matemateaonga Formation has become an additional exploration play in Taranaki Basin. Exploration interest has been stimulated by the success of Swift Energy Company in the Rimu/Kauri prospect (38719), located near south Taranaki Coast.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 2, February 2025.Abstract How high topography can be sustained over long timescales in post‐orogenic mountain belts is a longstanding research question in tectonic geomorphology and geodynamics. Here we utilize the well‐documented orogenic paleo‐topography and spatial‐temporal exhumation patterns of the Pyrenee Mountains in a numerical modeling study investigating ...

Thermochronometry across the Austroalpine-Pennine boundary, Central Alps, Switzerland: Orogen-perpendicular normal fault slip on a major ‘overthrust’ and its implications for orogenesis [PDF]
, 2018 Fifty-one new and 309 published thermochronometric ages (nine systems with closure temperatures ranging from ~450 to 70°C) from the Graubünden region of the Central Alps demonstrate that a pronounced thermal mismatch between the Austroalpine allochthon ...

Middle to Late Miocene Extremely Rapid Exhumation and Thermal Reequilibration in the Kung Co Rift, Southern Tibet [PDF]
, 2011 The Kung Co rift is an approximately NNW striking, WSW dipping normal fault exposed in southern Tibet and is part of an extensive network of active approximately NS striking normal faults exposed across the Tibetan Plateau.

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 2, February 2025.Abstract The landscape of the Talesh Mountains, located in the NW sector of the Iranian Plateau (within the Arabia‐Eurasia collision zone), results from the interplay of multiple forces. To explore the interaction between tectonics, climate, and lithology we present 11 new erosion rates derived from meteoric 10Be on the eastern (wetter) and western ...

Localization and Delocalization During Seismic Slip
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 22, 28 November 2024.Abstract The thickness of a seismic slip layer controls style and rate of rupture propagation, frictional heating, weakening, and energy budget of earthquakes. Slip layer thickness changes dynamically with feedbacks between temperature rise, roughness, damage, and fluid pressurization. Natural faults have complex slip histories, ambiguating which layer

Neogene and Quaternary tectonics of the Eastern Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina: Active intraplate deformation inboard of flat-slab subduction [PDF]
, 2013 The ranges of the Eastern Sierras Pampeanas are located >600 km east of the Andean Cordillera in central Argentina and have been interpreted to be a response to shortening related to flat-slab subduction of the Nazca plate.
