Kinematic and flexural isostasy modeling in central nepal: using erosional, depositional, and cooling histories to validate a balanced cross section
… increases the dip of the basal decollement as a flexural response of the Indian crust after loading. As deformation propagates toward the foreland, the topographic profile evolves and the foreland basin migrates forelandward of the deformation front, increasing in stratigraphic thickness over …

The post-breakup evolution of the western Indian high-elevation passive margin
… portion of the Western Indian margin, and flexural isostatic modelling. The combined methodologies used within this study are used to resolve some of the fundamental questions regarding the tectonic development and subsequent long term landscape evolution of the Western Indian margin. The …

Geophysical constraints on the flexural subsidence of the Denver Basin
… the pre-Laramide sedimentary section (-1-0 km). Flexural modeling shows that the shape of the basin can be fit with an elastic plate model having a line load of magnitude 2-5 x 1012 N/m and an elastic thickness of the lithosphere of 58-80 km. The location of the load is 90-115 km west of the …

Understanding topographic evolution of continents with landscape evolution simulations: the case of North America
… surface conditions to quantify the effect of flexural vs. dynamic subsidence in forming the WIS and its sedimentation record. Comparisons between modeled and observed sedimentation patterns show that 1) flexural subsidence was the dominant driver of sedimentation before 90 Ma within the Sevier …
