Neotectonics & Cooling History of the Southern Patagonian Andes
The collision of bathymetric anomalies, such as oceanic spreading centers, at convergent plate margins can profoundly affect subduction dynamics, magmatism, and the structural and geomorphic evolution of the overriding plate. The Southern Patagonian Andes of South America are a prime example for …

Contributions to the Neotectonics of the central and northern Walker Lane
The Walker Lane is a well-known intraplate shear zone located east of the Sierra Nevada that accommodates a significant portion of the North American - Pacific Plate relative transform motion. It its defined by a broad zone of discontinuous active strike-slip and normal faulting that sit within a …

Neotectonics and Paleoseismology of the North Frontal Thrust System, southern California
Seismic hazard assessment of intersecting fault systems, such as the strike-slip and reverse faults of the Los Angeles basin, is hindered by complex patterns of rupture that are currently difficult to predict. To improve this understanding, constraints on the previous rupture patterns of such …

Neotectonics Study Along The Frontal Thrust System Of The Fold-Thrust Belt Of Northwest Himalayas, Pakistan
Developments in geodetic techniques such as Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and the launch of new satellite missions with high spatial and temporal coverage have significantly improved our understanding of the geologic and anthropogenic processes, which include but are not limited …

Changes in water chemistry and fluvial geomorphology from arsenic contaminated floodplains of Whitewood Creek and Belle Fourche River, South Dakota
… where rapid floodplain reworking occurs due to neotectonics from Precambrian basement adjustments. Tailings removed area and contaminated floodplain width graphs show that the Belle Fourche River has larger storage for tailings and undergoes more floodplain reworking due to higher flood …

The Sundarbans tiger: adaptation, population status and conflict management.
… driven by sea level changes, sedimentation, neotectonics, climate change, and human use. The area is of great economic value, provides essential ecosystem services, and is deeply embedded in the culture of the region. The Sundarbans has been under various forms of management for about 2,000 …

Structural analysis of brittle deformation features along Grenvillian shear zones in southeastern Ontario
Brittle features along two prominent shear zones in the Grenville Province of southeastern Ontario, the Central Metasedimentary Belt boundary thrust zone (CMBbtz) and Robertson Lake mylonite zone (RLmz), are investigated to understand the brittle deformation history of this intraplate region. …

Extension and Quaternary Faulting in the Northern Central Nevada Seismic Belt
Quaternary mapping of seven sites along the 1915 MS 7.7 Pleasant Valleyearthquake and one site on the 1954 MS 6.8 Dixie Valley earthquake is the basis todescribe the style and rate of faulting in the northern Central Nevada Seismic Belt.Cosmogenic depth profiles collected on alluvial surfaces …

Application of Remote Sensing Techniques for the Study of Neotectonic Deformation, Subsidence and Coastal Processes
Remote sensing is a valuable tool for studying various natural and anthropogenic processes around the world. This work utilizes data collected from spaceborne and airborne platforms to study the effects of subsidence, neotectonic deformation, and coastal change. The first study covers subsidence …

QUALITATIVE COMPARISON OF OFFSET SURFACES BETWEEN THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN GARLOCK FAULT
<p>The Garlock Fault consists of three distinct segments, known as western, central, and eastern, together reaching approximately 260 km from the San Andreas Fault to the southern end of Death Valley. Although published slip rates are available along the western and central Garlock Fault segments, …

The role of extension during the evolution of the NW Indian Himalaya
The evolution of most orogens typically records cogenetic 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 …

Tectonic and climatic control on the evolution of the Himalayan mountain front
Variations in the distribution of mass within an orogen may lead to transient sediment storage, which in turn might affect the state of stress and the level of fault activity. Distinguishing between different forcing mechanisms causing variations of sediment flux and tectonic activity, is therefore …
