Active deformation of the Shargyn Basin, a transpressional strike-slip intersection in western Mongolia
Intraplate faulting in central Asia is a major component of the Indo-Eurasian collision. The kinematics and mechanisms of intraplate deformation are important in understanding broad active tectonic patterns, reconstructing past tectonics, analyzing seismic hazard and identifying potential …

Present-day and late Quaternary crustal deformation along the southern Dead Sea Fault System, Jordan
… rates (decadal time scales) and long-term fault slip rates (Holocene to late Pleistocene time scales). This study investigates fault kinematics along the southern Dead Sea fault using tectonic geodesy and late Quaternary slip estimates. The Dead Sea fault is the left-lateral transform …

Re-evaluating the tectonic model for the Arbuckle Mountains, Oklahoma by spatial and geometric analysis of stratigraphic and structural trends
… the Arbuckle Anticline and the Washita Valley fault. Camp Classen YMCA and Turner Falls city park in Davis, OK, hosts observed, but largely unmapped, small scale structural features that best represent the magnitude of deformation. The goal of this study was to determine if the complicated …

Evolution of Deformation Along Restraining Bends Based on Case Studies of Different Scale and Complexity
… plate margins produce a wide variety of complex fault patterns, including crustal pop-ups, fault duplex structures, restraining bends, and flower structures. Depending on the plate velocity, plate obliquity, crustal rheology, length-scale, and climate, the evolution of faulting into translational …

Characterization of active tectonic structures of the Etna volcano, through geophysical surveys, analysis of site response and deformation
… Tremestieri-Trecastagni-San Gregorio-Acitrezza fault system with the aim to provide additional insightful about its geometry and kinematics; also, additional geophysical surveys were performed at various sites of the municipalities most affected by the fault segments presence in order to obtain …

Neogene seismotectonics of the south-central Chile margin : subduction-related processes over various temporal and spatial scales
… the existence of previously unrecognized active faults and present estimates of deformation rates and fault kinematics. Furthermore these data are correlated to address fundamental mountain building processes like strain partitioning and large-scale segmentation. In the Main Cordillera domain and …

Structure of the Patagonian fold-thrust belt in the Magallanes region of Chile, 53° - 55° S Lat.
… plate margin defined by the Magallanes- Fagnano fault zone. In this dissertation, I present new geologic maps, cross sections and detailed macro- and microscopic structural analyses that describe the geometry and kinematic evolution of the fold-thrust belt and superposed strike-slip deformation …
