Modeling the shortening history of a fault tip fold using structural and geomorphic records of deformation [PDF]

, 2007
We present a methodology to derive the growth history of a fault tip fold above a basal detachment. Our approach is based on modeling the stratigraphic and geomorphic records of deformation, as well as the finite structure of the fold constrained from ...

Geomorphic signal of active faulting at the northern edge of Lut Block. Insights on the kinematic scenario of Central Iran [PDF]

, 2016
Recent works documented Neogene to Quaternary dextral strike-slip tectonics along the Kuh-e-Sarhangi and Kuh-e-Faghan intraplate strike-slip faults at the northern edge of the Lut Block of Central Iran, previously thought to be dominated by sinistral ...

Middle pleistocene glaciation in Patagonia dated by cosmogenic-nuclide measurements on outwash gravels [PDF]

, 2009
The well-preserved glacial record in Argentine Patagonia offers a ~ 1 Ma archive of terrestrial climate extremes in southern South America. These glacial deposits remain largely undated beyond the range of radiocarbon dating at ca. 40 ka.

Pleistocene terraced fluvial succession, northern slope of Torino Hill [PDF]

Quaternary International, 2007
Abstract A Pleistocene terraced fluvial succession is found on the northern slope of the Torino Hill. This succession consists of many relics of flat surfaces, separated by scarps, often associated with sandy and silty deposits, perched from 30 to 400 m on the Po Plain. Terraced surfaces at high levels are more deformed, dissected and mostly deprived

Kinematic analysis of the Pakuashan fault tip fold, west central Taiwan: Shortening rate and age of folding inception [PDF]

, 2007
The Pakuashan anticline is an active fault tip fold that constitutes the frontal most zone of deformation along the western piedmont of the Taiwan Range.

Slip rates on the Chelungpu and Chushiang thrust faults inferred from a deformed strath terrace along the Dungpuna river, west central Taiwan [PDF]

, 2007
The Chelungpu fault produced the September 1999 M_w = 7.6 Chi-Chi earthquake, central Taiwan. The shortening rate accommodated by this structure, integrated over several seismic cycles, and its contribution to crustal shortening across the Taiwanese ...

GEOCHRONOLOGY AND HYDRODYNAMIC ENERGY CONDITIONS IN SURFACE COVERINGS OF LOW HOLOCENE FLUVIAL, FLUVIAL-MARINE, AND MARINE TERRACES: CLIMATIC PULSATIONS TO THE SOUTH OF THE ARANGUAGUÁ RIVER BASIN (SC)

Revista Brasileira de Geomorfologia, 2018
This research aims to perform the geochronology of surface coverings in low Holocene marine, fluvial-marine, and fluvial terraces, associating the genesis of paleo-forms with the occurrence of Holocene climatic pulsations, the consequential switches ...

Landscape dynamics revealed by luminescence signals of feldspars from fluvial terraces [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractLuminescence signals of quartz and feldspar minerals are widely used to determine the burial age of Quaternary sediments. Although luminescence signals bleach rapidly with sunlight exposure, incomplete bleaching may affect luminescence ages, in particular in fluvial settings where an unbleached remnant signal is commonly encountered in modern ...

Luminescence Chronology of Terrace Development in the Upper Paraná River, Southeast Brazil

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019
The Paraná River has been extensively studied in terms of hydrological and sedimentological characterization. However, the geological history of its fluvial plain is poorly understood due the lack of geochronological data. Most of the studies are focused
