Centrifuge Modelling Study of Contrasting Structural Styles in the Salt Range and the Potwar Plateau, Pakistan
… platform sequences), Rawalpindi Group, and Siwalik Group. These stratigraphic units of alternating competence, composed of thin layers of plasticine modelling clay and silicone putty, rest on a rigid base plate that represents the crystalline basement of the Indian plate. The models are …

Structural Evolution of the Himalayan Thrust Belt, West Nepal
… rocks are present in the foreland basin beneath Siwalik group, ~100km to the south (towards the foreland). Two geologic maps were created; One covering the structural window and another covering the thrust belt from the High Himalaya to the MFT (Main Frontal Thrust). Several cross-sections were …

STRUCTURAL STYLE VARIATIONS IN THE HIMALAYAN FRONT: IMPLICATIONS FOR WEDGE-TOP DEPOSITION, NEPAL
Deformation at the front of the Himalayan thrust wedge is focused along the Main Frontal Thrust (MFT) resulting in shortening of the Neogene foreland basin deposits since the Pleistocene. This research investigates variations in structural style along the MFT in the Dang Valley region, west-central …

Geochemical Investigations of Mineral Weathering: Quantifying Weathering Intensity, Silicate versus Carbonate Contributions, and Soil-Plant Interactions
This study is the geochemical examination of mineral weathering and its path from hinterland, through sediment deposition and pedogenesis, to its dissolution and eventual uptake into plants or precipitation as carbonate minerals. The three papers examine the rate and character of carbonate and …
