The Miocene basaltic–andesitic lavas and Cretaceous granites were sampled in the
Abukuma Terrane of northeast Honshu for geochronological and palaeomagnetic …

Previous models of strike‐slip basins do not consider the rotation of the basin itself;
however, we show that the Tanakura transtensional basin in Japan was rotated and propose …

This study investigated geological evidence for near‐surface crustal deformation in a high‐
strain shear zone that has been geodetically identified but which is not associated with …

Miocene intra‐arc rifting associated with the opening of the Japan Sea formed grabens in
several areas in Southwest (SW) Japan, but the extensional tectonics of the arc are still not …

The 1200km-long North Anatolian Transform Fault connects the East Anatolian post-
collisional compressional regime in the east with the Aegean back-arc extensional regime to …

It is well known that a counterclockwise rotation occurred in the M iocene in northeast J
apan. However, the detailed timing and mechanism of the rotation has been debated …

Frontal edge of a Cenozoic arc–arc collision zone in southern central Hokkaido is described
based on subsurface geology. Reflection seismic and drilling surveys delineate geologic …

The North Anatolian Fault (NAF), one of the major tectonic entities of Turkey, is a dextral fault
system lying within an intracontinental transform zone up to 100 km in width. This shear …

We investigated the relationship between contractional deformation of sedimentary mass in
the upper crust and the geodetic strain rate in a high-strain zone (part of the Niigata–Kobe …

Abstract To determine a Middle Miocene paleomagnetic pole for northeastern Japan and
discuss its tectonic implications, we obtained new paleomagnetic results from Middle …
