In Situ Compressional Wave Velocity Across An Exposed Brittle Fault Zone
… mineralization on the geophysical properties of fault zones are not very well understood. In situ seismic data collected over the exhumed San Gregorio Fault at Moss Beach, CA were used to relate in situ compressional wave velocity to internal fault zone properties. This active strike-slip fault …

Characterization of Structures and Deformation in the Brittle-Ductile Transition, Western Termination of the Chugach Metamorphic Complex, Southern Alaska
… is a D3 structure, and that the Stuart Creek fault is a younger brittle fault with 90km of dextral offset. Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD) and microstructural observations revealed deformation mechanisms were primarily compositionally controlled, whereas P-T-t conditions played a …

New Constraints On the Age and Magnitude of Reactivation of the Camden Fault, South Carolina
… the shallow subsurface expression of the Camden fault. The preferred model for the fault geometry suggests at least 28 m apparent offset of the Upper Cretaceous unconformity across a high-angle, northwest dipping, 21 m wide, reverse fault zone. The fault is interpreted to separate the …

Tectonics and kinematics of curved mountain belts: examples from the Andes and the Alps
… of a belt through kinematic indicators on brittle fault planes (i.e., slickensides, mineral fibers growth, SC-structures). My research program has been focused on the study of curved mountain belts through paleomagnetism, in order to define their kinematics, timing, and mechanisms of …

The role of extension during the evolution of the NW Indian Himalaya
… shortening and extension. Pervasive normal faulting in an orogen, however, has been related to late syn- and post-collisional stages of mountain building with shortening focused along the peripheral sectors of the orogen. While extensional processes constitute an integral part of orogenic …
