Abstract:

The northern Canadian Cordillera is remarkably tectonically and seismically active, extending from a terrane collision zone on the continental margin to an active fold and thrust belt at the eastern mountain front. The source and distribution of the deformation are constrained by (i) precision global positioning system (GPS) measurements; (ii) the seismicity distribution, mechanisms, and rates; (iii) the thermal regime; (iv) estimates of lithosphere thickness and strength; and (v) topography and gravity.

Abstract This article describes the regional effects of Cenozoic subduction along the outboard margin of the Northern Cordillera (Alaska, USA, and Western Canada), and thereby acquaints the reader with several chapters of the e-book Dynamic Geology of the Northern Cordillera (Alaska, Western Canada, and Adjacent Marine Areas). This article and the e-book are written for earth-science students and teachers. The level of writing for the article and the source e-book is that of popular science magazines, and readers are encouraged to share this article with students and laypersons. The main thrus

Abstract:

Abstract Crustal thickening and uplift of southern Tibet have been widely associated with India-Asia continental collision during the Cenozoic. However, recent studies indicated that the crust of the northwestern (NW) Lhasa Terrane was thickened during the late Mesozoic. Here we report geochronological and geochemical data for the Gaerqiong diorite porphyries (GPs) and Xiongma plutons (XPs) in the NW Lhasa terrane, southern Tibet. Zircon U-Pb dating suggests that these intrusive rocks were generated at ca. 85 and ca. 88 Ma, respectively. The GPs are characterized by high MgO, Cr, and Ni conten

Abstract:

Regional maps of lithospheric deformation and thermal history have been derived for the eastern continental margin of Canada. Subsidence associated with the rifting and cooling stages of rifted margin formation was calculated from gridded maps of sediment thickness and bathymetry along the Labrador, Grand Banks, and Nova Scotian margins. A two-layer lithospheric extension model was used to compute the deformation and thermal evolution of each region. Deformation results show that the crust and lower lithosphere have generally stretched by different amounts, and that either crustal or subcrusta

Abstract:

SUMMARY The volcanism of the Eifel volcanic field (EVF), in west-central Germany, is often considered an example of hotspot volcanism given its geochemical signature and the putative mantle plume imaged underneath. EVF's setting in a stable continental area provides a rare natural laboratory to image surface deformation and test the hypothesis of there being a thermally buoyant plume. Here we use Global Positioning System (GPS) data to robustly image vertical land motion (VLM) and horizontal strain rates over most of intraplate Europe. We find a spatially coherent positive VLM anomaly over an

Abstract:

The investigation of intracontinental collision structures is conducted based on the complex model of the thermal and mechanical evolution of overthrusting process for the rheologically layered lithosphere, which includes brittle upper crust, the lower crust and lithospheric upper mantle with different effective viscosity values. Finite element models with Lagrangian approach were used for the problem simulation. It was shown that thermal evolution of continental orogens essentially results from the geometry and topography due to thrusting and postcollision stage. This work concentrates on the

Abstract. The lateral variation of the stress field in the southern Aegean plate and the subducting Hellenic slab is determined from recordings of seismicity obtained with the CYCNET and EGELADOS networks in the years from 2002 to 2007. First motions from 7000 well-located microearthquakes were analysed to produce 540 well-constrained focal mechanisms. They were complemented by another 140 derived by waveform matching of records from larger events. Most of these earthquakes fall into 16 distinct spatial clusters distributed over the southern Aegean region. For each cluster, a stress inversion

Abstract:

In the South Okhotsk Sea province – on the islands of Sakhalin, Kunashir, Iturup, Urup and surrounding sea areas – many occurrences of rare, noble metal and other mineralizations as well as of oil-and-gas fields, gas hydrate accumulations, and isolated areas of active emission of water-hydrocarbon gases are known. Occurrences and deposits of solid, liquid and gaseous mineral resources are controlled by hidden deep fault transform zones: Nosappu (Tuscarora), Iturup, and Urup. These long-lived extended (more than 1000 km) zones are distinguished at the N-W Pacific megaplate margin near the S-E f

Abstract:

Stress and strain distributions in the Yakutsk-Vilyui large igneous province (LIP) are numerically simulated under geotectonic extension. A two-dimensional model of the geological structure of a part of the Yakutsk-Vilyui LIP is developed using the geophysical data from the profile “Craton-1980”. However, these geophysical data can only be a source of the geometrical model and elastic properties of Earth’s layers. To describe non-elastic strains during the geological process, the Drucker-Prager-Nikolaevsky model of plasticity is adopted. For elastoplastic analysis of the geotectonic process, t

Nous utilisons les observations tectoniques et géodésiques (GPS) pour modéliser la déformation actuelle et l'évolution mécanique de l'Anatolie-Egée. Dans notre approche, la déformation de la lithosphère est localisée sur les failles connues, traitées comme des dislocations dans un milieu élastique. Nous montrons que deux processus tectoniques se superposent à l'échelle lithosphérique : l'extension associée à la subduction hellénique et l'extrusion de l'Anatolie associée à la propagation de la Faille Nord Anatolienne (NAF). Depuis que la NAF a pénétré en Egée, ces processus interagissent mécani
