Tectonic evolution of the late Archaean to early Proterozoic Mount Bruce Megasequence set, western Australia
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to analyze the tectonic evolution of the Mount Bruce Megasequence Set located in western Australia. Formerly called the Mount Bruce Supergroup, the set was deposited on the Pilbara Craton in the late Archaean and early Proterozoic periods. The Chirester Range Megasequence and the Hamersley Range Megasequence compose the formation. Phanerozoic-style tectonics characterize the megasequences.

Structure and tectonic history of the Southern Kerguelan Plateau (Indian Ocean) deduced from seismic reflection data
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to examine the structure and tectonic history of the Southern Kerguelan Plateau (SKP). The study applies single-channel and recent multi-channel seismic reflection data for analyzing the plateau. The SKP plateau is located in the Indian Ocean region and formed primarily by Early Cretaceous volcanic activity. As the volcamism died down, the SKP subsided and accumulated sediment.

History and tectonic implications of low-angle detachment faults and orogen parallel extension, Picentini Mountains, Southern Apennines fold and thrust belt, Italy
Article Abstract:
The Southern Apennines fold and thrust belt was formed as part of the peri-Tyrrhenian orogen during Cenozoic collision of Europe and Africa. The structure of the peri-Tyrrhenian belt along strike varies considerably. The existence and development of hyperextensional areas in the internal region of the Southern Apennines belt has implications for the evolution of the peri-Tyrrhenian orogen.
