Recent Deformation in the Bottom Sediments of Western and Southeastern Lake Ontario and its Association with Major Structures and Seismicity [PDF]
Geophysical surveys, undertaken in the Toronto-Burlington corridor of western Lake Ontario and in the Rochester Basin of southeastern Lake Ontario, revealed the presence of features affecting the young lake-bottom sediments.

New active faults on Eurasian-Arabian collision zone : Tectonic activity of Özyurt and Gülsünler faults (eastern Anatolian Plateau, Van-Turkey) [PDF]
The Eastern Anatolian Plateau emerges from the continental collision between Arabian and Eurasian plates where intense seismicity related to the ongoing convergence characterizes the southern part of the plateau. Active deformation in this zone is shared

Morphometric Evidence for Cenozoic Intraplate Reactivation in NW Uruguay
Abstract Located in eastern South America, Uruguay has been considered tectonically inactive since rifting in the Late Cretaceous. Here, we use a high‐resolution digital elevation model and field observations to investigate the presence of recent tectonic activity in the Basaltic Plateau, northwest Uruguay.

Joint orientation measurements in Western Alberta and British Columbia
Joint orientations were measured in the mountains of Western Alberta<br />and British Columbia. These were then evaluated statistically according<br />to the standard method of Kohlbeck and Scheidegger.

This study contains a comprehensive regional analysis of the orientations of tunnel valleys, faults and salt structures in the North German Basin, aiming to identify correlations that might indicate a structural control on tunnel‐valley formation. A structural control on tunnel‐valley formation has been repeatedly postulated and correlations have been ...

Mega-geomorphology and neotectonics [PDF]
For several decades, subtle neotectonic effects involving several square kilometers have been studied in detail using remote sensing, primarily various types of stereo-aerial photographs at scales of 1:10,000 to 1:80,000. These subtle effects, especially

Was the Formation of the North Anatolian Fault Influenced by the Aegean Extension?
ABSTRACT The North Anatolian Fault (NAF), one of the most prominent plate boundary continental fault systems on Earth, facilitates the westward movement of the Anatolian microplate into the Aegean region. The temporal and spatial evolution of the NAF is important for understanding the mechanism of escape tectonics during plate interaction in active ...

Pop-Up Structures and the Fracture Pattern in the Balsam Lake Area, Southern Ontario [PDF]
An examination of topographic lineaments detectable in Landsat TM images and measurement of joints in outcrop in the Balsam Lake area reveals a systematic bedrock fracture pattern with three principal sets oriented 091°, 027°, and 152°. The 027° trend is

Influence of erosive drivers on the morphology of gullies in the Pampa biome, Southern Brazil
The gullies in the pampa biome of Southern Brazil have different forms and intensity of erosion, despite being spatially close and sometimes this difference is observed within the same gully. The type of soil and rock material proved to be the determining factor in differentiating the shape of the gullies studied, with significant differences in the ...
