Surface uplift, fluvial incision, and geodynamics of plateau evolution, from the western margin of the Central Andean plateau
… cut through the western margin of the Andean plateau en route to the Pacific Ocean incised canyons over 3 km deep in response to late Cenozoic surface uplift. This latest uplift represents a fundamental shift in the style and magnitude of surface deformation that had been ongoing since at …

Site-specific modelling of turbulent fluxes on the Tibetan Plateau
The Tibetan Plateau attracts attention in recent decades due to its influence on the East-Asian Monsoon and regional hydrology. Therefore estimates of the regional energy and water balance have come into the focus, utilising remote sensing and regional model approaches, but such attempts require …

Structural framework of the Appalachian Plateau of central West Virginia
… of the deep structures in the Appalachian Plateau. It has been previously thought that no faults were likely to exist in Webster County due to the gentle dip of surficial Pennsylvanian and Mississippian units observed in the field though recent collection of seismic data suggests …

The Role of Synaptically Evoked Plateau Potentials in Retinogeniculate Development
… mediated by L-type Ca2+ channel activation, plateau potentials. Plateau activity prevails early in life, at the peak of retinogeniculate refinement, however, little is known about the factors that contribute to the activation of these events, or the potential role of plateau potentials in …

Geohistory of the Central Anatolian Plateau southern margin (southern Turkey)
… at the SE margin of the Central Anatolian Plateau is ideally located to record Neogene topographic and tectonic changes in the easternmost Mediterranean realm. Using industry seismic reflection data we correlate 34 seismic profiles with corresponding exposed units in the Adana Basin. The …

Habitat ecology of the Painted Bunting on the Ozark Plateau
"Increased public interest in nongame birds in recent years (Payne and DeGraaf 1975) calls for the consideration of such species' requirements by resource management agencies. These requirements must first be determined before a particular species can be considered in any management scheme. The …

Biogeography of Montane Mammals on the Colorado Plateau and Adjacent Regions
… mammal communities on mountains of the Colorado Plateau and adjacent regions. Forty six isolated ranges were characterized across a 5-state study area encompassing the Colorado Plateau, including the central high plateaus of Utah and the Basin and Range Province (i.e. the Great Basin and …

Aquatic macrophyte-derived biomarkers as palaeolimnological proxies on the Tibetan Plateau
The Tibetan Plateau is the largest elevated landmass in the world and profoundly influences atmospheric circulation patterns such as the Asian monsoon system. Therefore this area has been increasingly in focus of palaeoenvironmental studies. This thesis evaluates the applicability of organic …

A qualitative and physical analysis of processes around the Mascarene plateau
The Mascarene Plateau is a submerged volcanic plateau to the east of Madagascar which extends over 2200 km between the Seychelles and Mauritius. It is a complex feature, which is composed of 4 banks separated by 3 channels - namely the Seychelles, Saya de Malha, Nazareth and Cargados-Carajos Banks. …

Regional Deformation and Dynamic Processes of the Southern Puna Plateau, Central Andes
The southern Puna Plateau of the central Andes offers an excellent opportunity to (1) advance our understanding in orogenic models for non-collisional mountain belts, (2) test Earth’s upper-crustal responses to lower lithospheric processes, and (3) explore uses of low-temperature thermochronology …

Effects of Supraseasonal Drought on Karst Aquatic Communities of the Edwards Plateau
Supraseasonal droughts refer to an unpredictable period of below average precipitation occurring over multiple seasons and are predicted to become more frequent in central Texas under future climate scenarios. The purpose of this study was to opportunistically assess the effects of a supraseasonal …
