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 …

Stable isotope paleohydrology of pedogenic carbonates in the Wayan Formation (Albian) from the wedge-top depozone in the North American Cretaceous Western Interior Basin
… keystone in Earth system science. Stable isotopic paleohydrologic data on mid-Cretaceous paleosols spanning from paleoequatorial sites in Colombia to paleoarctic latitudes in Alaska have been used to constrain the oxygen isotope mass balance of the Albian hydrologic cycle. At mid-latitudes …

Lithological and climatic controls on fluvial landscape evolution of a post-orogenic dryland mountain belt
… a synthesis of detailed field observations and topographic analysis of rivers draining the post-orogenic dryland High Atlas Mountains, and field and geochronological studies on strath terraces in a catchment draining into its foreland basin. In the first part of this thesis, I assess the …

THE PACE AND TIMING OF CHANGING LANDSCAPES AS VIEWED THROUGH COSMOGENIC RADIONUCLIDES: SYNTHETIC AND REAL EXAMPLES FROM THE CENTRAL ANDES AND AMAZONIA
… is well constrained from both dating of thrust-top synsedimentary deposits and 2D balancing of cross-sections, which were confirmed through (U-Th-Sm)/He thermochronometry. Together, the knowledge established in the literature and the paleo-erosion rate record built in this study allowed the …
