Active tectonics and GPS data analysis of the Maghrebian thrust belt and Africa-Eurasia plate convergence in Tunisia

, 2020
The Atlas Mountains of Tunisia belong to the seismically active zone of the Africa (Nubia) - Eurasia plate boundary in the central-western Mediterranean.

Present-day crustal deformation revealed active tectonics in Yogyakarta, Indonesia inferred from GPS observations

, 2020
We investigated the active crustal structure in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, using new and denser Global Positioning System (GPS) data. Deformation rate estimated from five years (2013–2018) of observations on 22 campaign might record broad deformation after ...

Active Tectonics of the Frontal Himalayas: An Example from the Manzai Ranges in the Recess Setting, Western Pakistan

Remote Sensing, 2020
The Himalayan main frontal thrust (MFT) accommodates most of the present-day Indo–Asia convergence with related periodic earthquakes. The seismicity and deformation mechanism varies considerably across the frontal Himalayas.

Geostructures, dynamics and risk mitigation of high-altitude and long-runout rockslides

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2023
Long-runout rockslides at high altitude could cause disaster chain in river basins and destroy towns and major infrasturctures. This paper firstly explores the initiation mechanism of high-altitude and long-runout rockslides.

Active tectonics and drainage evolution in the Tunisian Atlas driven by interaction between crustal shortening and mantle dynamics

, 2020
Active tectonics in North Africa are fundamentally driven by NW-SE directed slow convergence between the Nubia and Eurasia plates, leading to a region of thrust and strike-slip faulting.

Segmentation of the active Liumugao Fault, NE Tibetan Plateau as revealed by DEM-derived geomorphic indices

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022
As the secondary fault of the Niushoushan-Luoshan Fault Zone, the Liumugao Fault records the northeastward expansion of the Tibetan Plateau. Based on WorldDEM data, 11 rivers (R1-R11) that flow across the Liumugao Fault and their drainage basins were ...

Active Tectonics

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1987
Active Tectonics is a collection of 16 papers plus a section entitled “Overview and Recommendations.” These papers are meant to serve collectively as a report commissioned by the now defunct Geophysics Research Forum with responsibility passed on to the Geophysics Study Committee, who in turn formed the Panel on Active Tectonics to carry out the task ...
