[1] Velocity spectra from moderate-sized earthquakes were used to investigate the P wave attenuation structure in central Mexico. In particular, we included regional events with magnitudes in the range of 4.5 to 6.1 recorded from 2005 to 2007 on the Middle American Subduction Experiment (MASE) array, which consists of 100 broadband sensors across central Mexico from Acapulco to Tempoal, near th...

Within southern Mali, the Syama belt constitutes a linear major structure-oriented N-S, which host several gold deposits (e.g., and Tabakoroni) prospect areas (e.g. Tellem). The Belt is formed by magmatic rocks (basalts, lamprophyres, andesites, dacites microgranites); sedimentary (shales) volcano-sedimentary (pyroclastics). are divided into two main volcanic series: tholeiitic affinity (basalt...

The tectonic evolution of southern Alaska is defined by a long history of subduction, accretion, and coastwise transport of terranes along the North American margin (e.g. Plafker et al., 1994). Cowen (1982, 2003) and Haeussler et al. (2003) propose two competing hypotheses for the formation and transport history of the Mesozoic-Tertiary Chugach-Prince William terrane that extends for at least 2...

The Chersky seismic belt (NE-Russia) forms the modern plate boundary of the Eurasian-North American continental plate. The geodynamic evolution of this continent-continent setting is highly complex and remains a matter of debate, as the extent and influence of the Mid-Arctic Ocean spreading center on the North Asian continent since the Eocene remains unclear. The progression from a tensional st...

Abstract The Taupō Volcanic Zone (TVZ) is the southern extent of Tonga‐Kermadec volcanic arc and encompasses Rift, with two structures accommodating extension through central North Island New Zealand via magmatic tectonic processes, respectively. Interplay between components TVZ Rift are evident at volcano, which exhibits periods increased seismicity on a decadal scale. One period occurred in 2...

Abstract The Zagros orogen, formed by the collision of Arabian and Eurasian continental margins, represents one largest richest oil gas provinces in world. fold-thrust belt records convergence along Neotethys suture zone. By coupling field observations, sandstone modal analysis, U-Pb zircon dating, Hf isotopic data from Upper Cretaceous to Pliocene sedimentary succession Neyriz region, this pap...

The Iron Mask batholith is an Early Jurassic composite alkaline intrusion located southwest of Kamloops in southcentral British Columbia (Figure 2-6-l). It lies in the southern portion of the Quesnel trough in the lntermontane tcctonic belt. It is a northwest-trending body approximately 22 kilomctres long and 5 kilometres wide intruding volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the eastern belt of the ...

Archean greenstone belts are renowned for their Au endowment. Gold can be associated with orogenic style of mineralization and diorite-hosted Au-Cu disseminated sulfides interpreted as a porphyry mineralization. The Regnault project, located in the Frotet–Evans belt (Superior craton), is structurally-controlled an unclear metallogenic model. aim this study to evaluate fertility granodiorite-dio...
