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.

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 ...

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 ...

Piedmont deposits as seismic energy dissipators, Sierras Pampeanas of Argentina
SN Applied Sciences, 2021 This study shows the neotectonic deformation occurred in the southern piedmont of the Cumbres Calchaquíes, in the Amaicha and Tafí valleys. Neotectonic deformation manifests itself through faults, folds and diversions of drainage channels.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Like other perialpine basins and glaciated margins, the Geneva Basin in SW Switzerland is characterised by buried tunnel valleys, which are elongated incisions widely attributed to subglacial meltwater erosion beneath continental ice sheets. However, an inclusive understanding of the geological control on the evolution of the glacial landscape

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract We investigated the structural framework of the north–northwestern Paraná Basin in Brazil to test whether the pre‐impact structures in this region may have had any influence on the first‐order formation and morphostructure of the Araguainha impact structure (AIS).
