Abstract The enigmatic Eurekan Orogeny of northeastern Ellesmere Island in the Canadian arctic was formed as a result of mountain‐building processes in the Paleogene. In this work, we use numerical geodynamical experiments alongside regional geological interpretation to investigate the tectonic evolution of the Eurekan, and explore how shortening ...

Wrench-Slip Reversals and Structural Inversions: Cenozoic Slide-Rule Tectonics in Sundaland [PDF]
DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v1i1.174Most of continental Southeast Asia, that is, Sundaland and Indosinia, achieved a relative tectonic stability by the beginning of the Cenozoic.

A quantitative assessment of GeoNet earthquake location quality in Aotearoa New Zealand
ABSTRACT Tens of thousands of earthquakes are located by GeoNet across Aotearoa every year. However, spatial variability – both in station coverage and earthquake distributions – produce heterogeneity in earthquake location quality throughout the GeoNet catalogue.

Active faulting and transpression tectonics along the plate boundary in North Africa
We present a synthesis of the active tectonics of the northern Atlas Mountains, and suggest a kinematic model of transpression and block rotation that illustrates the mechanics of this section of the Africa–Eurasia plate boundary.

Distributed transpressive continental deformation: The Varto Fault Zone, eastern Turkey
The convergence between the Eurasian and Arabian plates has created a complicated structural setting in the Eastern Turkish high plateau (ETHP), particularly around the Karliova Triple Junction (KTJ) where the Eurasian, Arabian, and Anatolian plates intersect.

Abstract A limitation in our understanding of the geodynamics of orogenies is the difficulty in resolving the spatial variations in long‐term processes such as exhumation of the crust. Although geodesy can record ground motions to millimeter‐scale precision at high spatial and temporal resolutions, these observations only cover a small fraction of the ...
