Structural Characteristics and Tectonic Evolution of the Pirineus Syntaxis, Central Brazil
The Pirineus Syntaxis is a pronounced concave-to-the-foreland curve in the otherwise north-south trending structural grain of the Brasilia orogenic belt, along the western margin of the Sao Francisco craton in central Brazil. Deformation in the Brasilia belt has been attributed broadly to the …

Tectonic-erosion interactions : insights from the paleo-drainage of the Brahmaputra River
… the Shillong Plateau and the Namche Barwa Syntaxis. The Shillong Plateau is the only elevated topography in the Himalayan foreland and the timing of its surface uplift is debated. Decoupling between of the time of rock exhumation and surface uplift has been explained by differences in rock …

Deformation, erosion and sedimentation in collisional orogens : case studies from eastern Tibet and southwestern China
… of regions adjacent to the eastern Himalayan syntaxis. The first chapter describes the Tertiary Gonjo basin, includes structural and sedimentologic observations, and interprets these as a record of limited upper crustal shortening during and immediately after early Tertiary (- 40 Ma) time. The …

Seismic Studies of the East African Rift System and the Tibetan Plateau: Implications for the Rheology of Lithosphere and the Evolution of Rifts in Continents
… in the mantle beneath the western Himalayan syntaxis, the western Kunlun Mountains, and southern Tibet (near Xigaze). High-resolution seismic waveforms show that some focal depths exceeded 100 km, indicating that these earthquakes also occurred in the mantle lithosphere, even though the crust …

Ambient noise tomography for wavespeed and anisotropy in the crust of southwestern China
… clockwise rotation around the Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis. Careful examination reveals large angular differences between the azimuthal anisotropy in the upper and lower crust, suggesting different deformation patterns at the surface and in depth. Therefore, our tomography results support models …

The Day Nui Con Voi mylonitic belt in Southwestern China and Its implications for the early Cenozoic extrusion of Indochina
… fragments southeast from the Eastern Himalayan syntaxis, with large shear zones at their boundaries that could have accommodated displacements of hundreds to perhaps a thousand kilometers. Along the northeastern edge of the Indochina extruded fragment, the belt of mylonitic metamorphic rocks …

Seismic characterization of fractured reservoirs (part I) ; Crustal deformation in the Tibetan Plateau (part II)
… by clockwise rotation in the region of eastern syntaxis. The maximum rates of rotation about vertical axes occurs in the region of the eastern syntaxis proper.

Les verbes de mouvement et l’expression du lieu en kirundi (bantou, JD62) : une étude linguistique basée sur un corpus
… invloed van de applicatief op de semantiek en de syntaxis van bewegingswerkwoorden wordt onderzocht in hoofdstuk 4. Hoofdstuk 5 richt zich op het gebruik van de bewegingswerkwoorden -ja ‘gaan’, -za ‘komen’, -geenda ‘stappen’, -va ‘komen van/weggaan’, -ca ‘langsgaan, passeren’ in …

Intermontane valley fills
Sedimentary valley fills are a widespread characteristic of mountain belts around the world. They transiently store material over time spans ranging from thousands to millions of years and therefore play an important role in modulating the sediment flux from the orogen to the foreland and to …
