Mixed clastic‐carbonate lake margin systems: An example from the Triassic of East Greenland
The Depositional Record, EarlyView.This study examines a rare example of a mixed clastic‐carbonate shore zone from the Late Triassic of East Greenland. Two facies models are proposed. The interaction of sediment supply and production are shown to be key factors in governing facies development and these are in turn predominantly controlled by lake‐level dynamics and lake margin ...

Tectonic control on southern Sierra Nevada topography, California [PDF]
, 2009 In this study we integrate the apatite (U-Th)/He thermochronometric technique with geomorphic, structural, and stratigraphic studies to pursue the origin and evolution of topographic relief related to extensive late Cenozoic faulting in the southern ...

The Ability of Significant Tidal Stress to Initiate Plate Tectonics [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Plate tectonics is a geophysical process currently unique to Earth, has an important role in regulating the Earth's climate, and may be better understood by identifying rocky planets outside our solar system with tectonic activity. The key criterion for whether or not plate tectonics may occur on a terrestrial planet is if the stress on a planet's ...

Thick-Skinned and Thin-Skinned Tectonics: A Global Perspective
, 2017 This paper gives an overview of the large-scale tectonic styles encountered in orogens worldwide. Thin-skinned and thick-skinned tectonics represent two end member styles recognized in mountain ranges.

Modeling of salt tectonics [PDF]
Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2007 In this work a general framework for the simulation of sedimentary basins in presence of salt structures is addressed. Sediments and evaporites are modeled as non-Newtonian fluids and the thermal effects induced by the presence of salt are taken into account. The computational strategy is based on a Lagrangian methodology with intensive grid adaptivity,
