Timing of Syenite Intrusions on the Eastern Slope of the Sredinnyi Range, Kamchatka: Rate of Accretionary Structure Exhumation

The isotopic thermochronological study included the U–Pb (SHRIMP) and fission-track dating of zircon and fission-track and (U–Th)–He dating of apatite from syenite intrusions cropping out in the eastern slope of the Sredinnyi Range of Kamchatka. The emplacement time of the intrusion was determined, and its exhumation velocity was evaluated. According to U–Pb (SHRIMP) zircon dating, the age of s...

Three Dimensional Images of the Kamchatka-Pacific Plate Cusp

First arrivals of seismic waves were recorded along the Kamchatka arc using broadband seismic stations deployed for one year in 1998–1999. Cross correlation methods were used from a high resolution data set for tomographic inversion of body waves. The P-wave teleseismic tomography shows evidence of slab shoaling along the northern terminus of the Kamchatka subduction zone. Tomographic anomalies...

Late orogenic carboniferous extensions in the Variscan French Massif Central

The Variscan French Massif Central experienced two successive stages of extension from Middle Carboniferous to Early Permian. In the northern Massif Central, the first stage began in the late Visean, immediately after nappe stacking, and is well recorded by NamurianWestphalian synkinematic plutonism. The Middle Carboniferous leucogranites widespread in the NW Massif Central (Limousin and Sioule...
