Shallow Shear‐Wave Reflection Surveys in the Wellington Central Business District

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Seismic reflection profiling using shear waves provides constraints on the thickness of sediments beneath the Wellington Central Business District. Standard seismic methods were modified for urban environments where limited grassed areas are available and levels of cultural noise are high.

Tectonics as a Regulator of Shoreline Retreat and Rocky Coast Evolution Across Timescales

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Rocky coast morphology is shaped by interactions between wave action, sea level, and tectonics over millennial time scales. However, a clear and quantifiable signature of tectonic uplift on decadal to centennial shoreline retreat rates is outstanding.

Subduction System Response to Ribbon Collision: Implications on the Intra‐Plate Force Balance and the Style of Slab Deformation

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Ribbon collision is a process that can rapidly disturb the symmetry of subduction zones. Previous studies have demonstrated how ribbon collision causes rotation at the surface and contortion in the slab, but have only focused on the surface kinematics.

Statistical analysis of Neogene sediment thickness deposited during the first transtensional and first transpressional evolutionary stages in the Bjelovar Sub-basin, Northern Croatia [PDF]

, 2011
The Bjelovar Sub-basin is situated in Northern Croatia and constitutes the southwestern branch of the Drava Basin. The Neogene-Quaternary sedimentary section can be subdivided into three megacycles, which are separated by regional unconformities.

Differential Mountain‐Building in the South Tian Shan Revealed by Multi‐Spatiotemporal Foreland Deformation

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding how spatially variable mountain‐building processes proceed within large intracontinental orogens provides critical insights into continental tectonics and regional paleoenvironmental evolution. Here, we address this issue in the central South Tian Shan (cSTS), a key transitional segment between the well‐studied eastern and ...

Focal mechanisms in the southeastern South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand indicate scale-dependent partitioning of transpressional strain

Seismica
The classic Andersonian model of faulting is difficult to apply to plate boundaries with oblique motion, as displacement is accommodated across oblique-slip faults, or it is partitioned into distinct strike-slip and dip-slip faults. Here, we investigate

Patrones complejos de reparto de la deformación evaluados mediante modelos de transpresión triclínica. Análisis cinemático preliminar del macizo del Valle de Abdalajís (zona de cizalla del Torcal, zonas externas Béticas) [PDF]

, 2014
Complex strain partitioning patterns are very common in the continental crust. They are often related to the kinematics of three-dimensional deformations and hence, can be analysed using transpression models.

High-resolution mapping of two large-scale transpressional fault zones in the California Continental Borderland: Santa Cruz-Catalina Ridge and Ferrelo faults [PDF]

, 2015
New mapping of two active transpressional fault zones in the California Continental Borderland, the Santa Cruz-Catalina Ridge fault and the Ferrelo fault, was carried out to characterize their geometries, using over 4500 line-km of new multibeam ...

Cenozoic Evolution of the North‐Eastern Mediterranean Basins

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The Eastern Mediterranean lies at the junction of the African, Arabian, and Eurasian plates, a region shaped by a long and complex tectonic history. While the Levant Basin in the southern sector has been extensively studied for hydrocarbon exploration, the northern domain offshore Cyprus, Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon remains less understood.

The Geology as an indispensable tool for optimizing the exploration of dimension Stones [PDF]

, 2012
Like any Geological Resource, the Dimension Stones can only be exploited where they occur. How they occur is a reflection of geological history that presided over its formation.
