Study of seismotectonic deformations of the Earth’s crust in the Altai-Sayan Mountain region. Part II [PDF]

open access: yesГеосистемы переходных зон, 2023
The article continues to describe the results of the study of seismotectonic deformation (STD) of the Altai-Sayan Mountain region which were presented in previous Issue of «Geosystems of Transition Zones» journal. Given work presents the results of a STD

Microstructures of the Lim zone along the contact with Dinaridic Ophiolite nappe [PDF]

open access: yesGeološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2007
The Lim Zone is a part of the low-grade metamorphic core complex called the Lim Palaeozoic Unit, overlain by detached Triassic sedimentary successions. The Lim Unit is located in the footwall of overriding Dinaridic Ophiolite nappe.

Kinematics and Timing Constraints in a Transpressive Tectonic Regime: The Example of the Posada-Asinara Shear Zone (NE Sardinia, Italy)

open access: yesGeosciences, 2020
Detailed geological field mapping, integrated with meso- and microstructural investigations, kinematic of the flow and finite strain analyses, combined with geochronology, are fundamental tools to obtain information on the temperature–deformation–timing ...

Guadalupe pluton–Mariposa Formation age relationships in the southern Sierran Foothills: Onset of Mesozoic subduction in northern California? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We report a new 153 ± 2 Ma SIMS U-Pb date for zircons from the hypabyssal Guadalupe pluton which crosscuts and contact metamorphoses upper crustal Mariposa slates in the southern Sierra.

Transition from contractional to transpressive tectonics: evidence from the Feira Nova Region, Rio Capibaribe Domain, Borborema Province, NE Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Geology, 2021
Differences in tectonic style and kinematics in orogenic belts can result from either multiphase or progressive deformation. In eastern Borborema Province, a regional shallow dipping foliation is multiply folded and crosscut by transcurrent shear zones ...

Spatio-temporal evolution of intraplate strike-slip faulting: the Neogene-Quaternary Kuh-e-Faghan Fault, Central Iran [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Central Iran provides an ideal region to study the long-term morphotectonic response to the nucleation and propagation of intraplate faulting. In this study, a multidisciplinary approach that integrates structural and stratigraphic field investigations ...

Orogen-scale transpression accounts for GPS velocities and kinematic partitioning in the Southern Andes

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2021
Upper crustal transpression in the Southern Andes is mainly accommodated by widespread deformation on oblique-slip reverse and thrust faults, according to a comparison of scaled analogue models with the observed GPS velocity field and fault patterns.

Evidence from Rb–Sr mineral ages for multiple orogenic events in the Caledonides of Shetland, Scotland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Shetland occupies a unique central location within the North Atlantic Caledonides. Thirty-three new high-precision Rb–Sr mineral ages indicate a polyorogenic history.
