SELF-ORGANIZED CRITICALITY IN PLATE-TECTONICS by Sornette, D

Geochemistry and tectonic significance of peridotites from the Kiogar ophiolite, SW Tibet by Chan, G, Searle, M, Aitchison, J, Ma, G

Metacommunity process rather than continental tectonic history better explains geographically structured phylogenies in legumes. by Lavin, M, Schrire, B, Lewis, G, Pennington, RT, Delgado-Salinas, A, Thulin, M, Hughes, C, Matos, AB, Wojciechowski, M

“…Hypotheses that resort to vicariance or continental history to explain continental disjunct distributions are dismissed because they require mostly Palaeogene and older tectonic events. An alternative explanation centring on dispersal that may well explain the geographical as well as the ecological phylogenetic structure of legume phylogenies is Hubbell's unified neutral theory of biodiversity and biogeography. …”

The Cambrian-Silurian tectonic evolution of the northern Appalachians and British Caledonides: history of a complex, west and southwest Pacific-type segment of Iapetus by Van Staal, C, Dewey, J, Mac Niocaill, C, McKerrow, W

“…Based on an extensive compilation of data along the length of the orogen, particularly using well-preserved relationships in Newfoundland as a template, we show that this orogen may have experienced a very complicated tectonic evolution that resembles parts of the present west and southwest Pacific Ocean in its tectonic complexities. …”

TERTIARY SEDIMENTARY HISTORY AND STRUCTURE OF THE VALENCIA TROUGH (WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN) by Maillard, A, Mauffret, A, Watts, A, Torne, M, Pascal, G, Buhl, P, Pinet, B

“…Nevertheless, the Valencia-Catalan grabens have been reactivated by young extensional tectonics which could be a consequence of the convergence of Africa relative to Europe. …”

Circum-Arctic mantle structure from global tomography – consistent with plate reconstructions? by Sigloch, K

“…Slabs that are not overlain by a modeled trench at any time, or paleo-trenches without fast anomaly observed underneath, can point to gaps in our current understanding of the Arctic’s plate-tectonic evolution.…”

Mohammed's Paradise: Indigenous society and Natural Surroundings around Lake Nicaragua by Geurds, A

“…Certainly the geography of this part of the world offers a particular set of conditions, marked by widespread volcanism in a unique continental isthmian setting with significant tectonic activity. Alongside regional trajectories of cultural development demonstrating remarkable stability, it seems feasible to develop particular regional notions on the natural surroundings. …”

The city of Napoli and its active volcanoes by Cioni, R, Isaia, R, Sulpizio, R, de Vita, S, Di Vito, MA, Pistolesi, M, Smith, V, Stock, M, Talamo, P

“…The itinerary in the Campi Flegrei caldera, provides asn overview of i) the deposits of the Campanian Ignimbrite and Neapolitan Yellow Tuff caldera forming eruptions, ii) the pyroclastic density currents and fallout deposits of the post caldera volcanism, iii) different preserved volcano edifices and volcano tectonic structures, along with fumarolic and hydrothermal active field are hosted. …”

Venus long-life surface package (VL2SP) by Fuglesang, C, Zetterling, C, Wilson, C

“…Radar maps have shown Venus to be covered with volcanic and tectonic features, and mounting evidence, including observations from Venus Express, suggests that some of these volcanoes are active today. …”
