Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 A reexamination of the observations and analysis recently reported to conclude that an 800 km section of the Himalayan Frontal Thrust ruptured in 1255 A.D. shows that the conclusion is flawed and without merit because of misinterpretations of trench logs

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 During the late Mesozoic, the East Asian continent underwent a complex tectonic history due to multiple episodes of plate convergence. How the crust responds to the multiple plate convergence in the North China Craton (NCC) remains unclear.

Neotectonics of Turkey (Türkiye) and surrounding regions: a new perspective with block modelling
Geologica Acta, 2022 This paper aims to present a new neotectonic perspective concordant with the seismic activities in Turkey and surrounding regions. The neotectonic structures have been re-evaluated mainly by using focal mechanism solutions and high-resolution satellite ...

Neotectonics: Watching the earth move [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 Recent advances in global positioning system (GPS) technology have made it possible to detect millimeter scale changes in the Earth’s surface. Using these systems it has been possible to detect relative motion between the large plates of the outer most rigid layer of Earth.

TECTONO-SEDIMENTARY EVOLUTION OF THE EOCENE TRANSGRESSIVE DEPOSITS IN THE ACIGÖL, BURDUR AND ISPARTA AREAS (SW TURKEY) [PDF]
Acta Geographica Debrecina. Landscape & Environment Series, 2010 The Eocene transgressive deposits of the Acıgöl, Burdur and Isparta basins are the best exposed of the SW Turkey and shed light on one of the outstanding problems of the tectono-sedimentary evolution during paleotectonic and neotectonic period.

Analysis on deformation characteristics of geological hazards in Ranwu Lake Estuary
Zhongguo dizhi zaihai yu fangzhi xuebao, 2021 The continuous uplift of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau has led to frequent geological disasters in its surrounding areas. The complex geological background has created the characteristics of chain disaster development and high risk of river blocking in the ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 The Nullarbor Plain is underlain by thick cratonic lithospheric mantle that is almost devoid of contemporary seismicity. Analysis of high‐resolution digital elevation models indicates neotectonic fault‐propagation fold traces on the nearly flat karst ...
