Active Tectonics in Southern Xinjiang, China: Analysis of Terrace Riser and Normal Fault Scarp Degradation Along the Hotan-Qira Fault System [PDF]
, 1993 The northern piedmont of the western Kunlun mountains (Xinjiang, China) is marked at its easternmost extremity, south of the Hotan-Qira oases, by a set of normal faults trending N50E for nearly 70 km.

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,

Lacustrine and fan‐delta sediments in syn‐rift lake basins
The Depositional Record, EarlyView.A consistent model for the sequence framework and depositional pattern of asymmetric half‐grabens in syn‐rift lake basins bounded by active faults has been established, complementing existing models for marine rift successions. Syn‐rift lake basins are characterised by relatively small dimensions, steep slopes, poorly developed shoreline strata ...

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 ...

Propagation of tectonic waves [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2005 Mountain building depends on the disequilibrium between boundary stresses, either at the base of the deforming lithosphere or its lateral boundaries, and buoyancy stresses arising form lateral density variations within the lithosphere itself. On the basis of the thin viscous sheet approximation, we propose a model which accounts for both crustal and ...

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.Some layers of limestone produce some hydrocarbons, and these hydrocarbons are removed from the fractures and cracks of the rock. The organic matter (OM) contained in the limestone is a mixture of terrestrial and marine OM and is thermally immature and mature.

Exhumation history of the Higher Himalayan Crystalline along Dhauliganga-Goriganga river valleys, NW India: new constraints from fission track analysis [PDF]
, 2009 New apatite and zircon fission track data collected from two transects along the Dhauliganga and Goriganga rivers in the NW Himalaya document exhumation of the Higher Himalayan Crystalline units. Despite sharing the same structural configuration and rock

Human Transposon Tectonics [PDF]
Cell, 2012 Mobile DNAs have had a central role in shaping our genome. More than half of our DNA is comprised of interspersed repeats resulting from replicative copy and paste events of retrotransposons. Although most are fixed, incapable of templating new copies, there are important exceptions to retrotransposon quiescence.

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.A limestone cave in the NW Dinarides exhibits an anomalous presence of montmorillonite clay, not commonly found in surrounding caves, posing questions about its origin and age. Analysis reveals a composition similar to weathered tephra from the Smrekovec Volcanic Complex, suggesting transport by north‐east winds.

Digital Tectonics as a Morphogenetic Process
, 2010 p. 938-948Tectonics is a seminal concept that defines the nature of the relationship between architecture and its structural properties. The changing definition of the symbiotic relationship between structural engineering and architectural design may ...
