Structural evolution of crystalline lower plate rocks, Central Sacramento Mountains, Southeastern California
… Detailed mapping and petrographic analysis of lower plate rocks from the central part of the range show that three deformation events have been recorded. An amphibolite facies-grade foliation (Sg), which represents the oldest deformational event (D1), is the predominant fabric in the …

EASTERN BASIN AND RANGE CRUSTAL EXTENSION: A VIEW FROM SEISMOLOGY AND GEODESY
… change in crustal thickness that closely follows the surface trace of the Wasatch fault, with differences in depth of up to 10 km across a distance of less than 55 km. Analysis of seismic reflection profiles, horizontal and vertical crustal velocities from continuous GPS, and surface geology …

Ridge segmentation, tectonic evolution and rheology of slow-spreading oceanic crust
… and tectonic processes along mid-ocean ridges. Slow-spreading ridges, such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, are discontinuous and composed of ridge segments. Segments are thus fundamental units of magmatic accretion and tectonic deformation that control the evolution of the crust. The objective of this …
