Crustal and Upper Mantle Structure of the Assam Valley Region, NE India: A Review of Geophysical Findings by Ilya Lozovsky, Ivan Varentsov, Devesh Walia

“…The northeastern region of India is one of the six most seismically active convergent plate tectonic areas in the world. The north–south convergence along the Indo-Tibetan Himalayan Ranges and the east–west subduction within the Indo-Burma Ranges create a complex stress regime, resulting in significant seismic activity and a history of great/large earthquakes. …”

First in situ calcite U–Pb dating revealing the past episodes of the 2019 Le Teil Earthquake (France) by Gébelin, Aude, Matonti, Christophe, Larroque, Christophe, Carr, Patrick, Ampuero, Jean-Paul

“…In agreement with relative chronology data based on microstructural observations, our results allow us to define four main tectonic events: A first event from ~90 to 75 interpreted to reflect a thermal subsidence at the regional scale (Ardèche—South-East basin of France), a second event bracketed between ~60 to 50 Ma related to the N–S trending shortening of the South-East basin, a third tectonic event dated from ~40 to 37 Ma that we interpret to reflect the opening of the Gulf of Lion and European Cenozoic Rift System (ECRIS), and a fourth and final event at ~25 Ma that very likely represents a middle to late stage of the ECRIS. …”
