Arguments for recognizing autogenic vs. allogenic signals in the stratigraphic record are still far from settled, as is the decoding of unsteady allogenic responses to climate vs. tectonic forcing. We offer the case of late Mesozoic Xuanhua basin in the western Yanshan fold-and-thrust belt of North China to make these points. The study area is an intramontane basin that has allowed detailed structural

The Late Cretaceous to Cenozoic is known for its multiple inversion events, which affected Central Europe’s intracontinental sedimentary basins. Based on a 2D seismic profile network imaging the basin fill without gaps from the base Zechstein to the seafloor, we investigate the nature and impact of these inversion events on Zechstein salt structures in the Baltic sector of the North German Basin. These

Understanding sedimentary routing systems at continental margins can be challenging in tectonically active regions such as forearc basins. Here, we combine sand modal composition and detrital zircon U-Pb data from the Kumano Basin and surrounding Nankai Trough region of Japan to explore sedimentation in an active forearc and its linkages to the regional tectonic history. Our analyses are on Miocene-to-Pleistocene

Submarine landslides associated with the Cascadia subduction zone offshore of the Pacific northwest United States and Canada represent significant natural geohazards. Mapping past submarine landslide deposits is critical for understanding present and future slope failure and tsunami hazard potential. We focus on the portion of Cascadia offshore Oregon to map the occurrences of submarine landslide deposits

We have identified seven mechanisms by which mobile shales can pierce their roofs. The operative piercement mechanism depends on mobile-shale viscosity, roof strength and stress state. For mobile shales at depths of several kilometres, three mechanisms are possible: fracture piercement, thrust piercement and ductile “piercement.” However, injection up fractures and faults appears to be the dominant

This contribution investigates the role of a hyperextended rift system in the formation of the Basque–Cantabrian Pyrenees by discussing their present-day architecture as well as the inherited rift template. Moreover, this work attempts to decipher the onset of reactivation of a hyperextended system and to discuss the related processes during collision. To carry out this study, two regional, crustal-scale

Widespread flooding of the Australian continent during the Early Cretaceous, referred to as the Eromanga Sea, deposited extensive shallow marine sediments throughout the Great Artesian Basin. This event had been considered ‘out of sync’ with eustatic sea level and was instead solely attributed to dynamic subsidence associated with Australia’s passage over eastern Gondwanan subducted material. However

Foreland basins are sensitive recorders of spatiotemporal variations in tectonic and climatic forcing associated with an approaching orogenic front. Thus, analysis of foreland deposits and their associated deformation patterns and provenance signals allows assessment of tectonic and sedimentary processes during orogeny, providing clues to past environmental conditions. The Calchaquí region in the southern

Luminescence characteristics of quartz and feldspar allow to discriminate sediments from different source areas. Particularly, sensitivity of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and thermoluminescence (TL) signals of quartz and infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) of feldspar from Quaternary sediments have been used for provenance analysis. These properties change due to source area denudation

1 INTRODUCTION The ground-breaking paper by Strauss et al. (2020), clearly demonstrates that salt tectonics play an even more significant role in the sedimentary and early deformational history of the Northern Calcareous Alps (NCA) than previously thought. Their pioneering subsidence analysis illuminates the importance of time diachronous salt evacuation and diapirism during the deposition of post-salt
