Cenozoic evolution of the Pamir Salient; timing, mechanisms and paleo-environmental impacts : constraints from the Aertashi section, western Tarim Basin
… indentation. Activation of strike slip faulting, growth strata and exhumation along the Kashgar-Yecheng Transfer System is evidenced in the Aertashi region which may be linked to a pull-apart basin. By ~18.5 Ma, the onset of northward thrusting of the Kunlun hinterland and southward migrating …

Stratigraphy and Tectonics: Multi-Disciplinary Evaluation of Tectonic Models For the Eastern and Southern Continental Margins of North America
<p>The links between sedimentary strata, their source regions and accommodation mechanisms enable the testing of tectonic models across a range of temporal and spatial scales. This dissertation presents three studies that interpret the stratigraphic architecture and sediment provenance records of …

Structural observations and stratigraphic variability in Jurassic strata, Upheaval Dome, Canyonlands National Park, Utah, USA
… that Upheaval Dome was created due to the growth and subsequent pinch-off of a salt diapir sourced from the Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation. Their conclusions were based on various growth geometries in Jurassic age strata. (2) Perhaps the most influential paper proposing a meteorite impact …

The orogenic evolution of the Central Kyrgyz Tien Shan
… >26 Ma in that particular range. Elsewhere, growth strata relationships are used to identify syn-tecotnic deposition and constrain the timing of nearby deformation. Collectively, these new constraints obtained from thermochronologic and sedimentary data have allowed me to infer the …
