The tectonic evolution of Antarctica
Five tectonic provinces; three volcanic provinces (each characteristic of a particular set of tectonic conditions) and a Precambrian shield, are outlined and described, in an attempt to illustrate the tectonic evolution of Antarctica. Evidence is presented for at least three structural stages in …

Tectonic evolution of the Corinth Rift
The evolution of extensional processes at continental rift zones provides important constraints on the underlying lithospheric deformation mechanisms, level of seismic hazard and location of likely hydrocarbon traps. The Corinth rift in central Greece is one of the few examples that has experienced …

Intrinsics: An Exploration in Tectonic Expression
… using the building type I'm designing. This is a tectonic approach, so my thesis is also "An Exploration of Tectonic Expression" with a Montessori school as a project vehicle. The site is next to the Roanoke Public Library in Elmwood Park in Roanoke, Virginia. The primary materials are …

From Telluric (Earth) To Tectonic (Sky)
My graduate thesis is a study of telluric and tectonic architecture. These two ideas inspired me to design a baseball stadium for the town of Blacksburg, Virginia that portrayed the contrasting concepts "of the earth" and "of the sky."

Tectonic subsidence analysis of the Williston Basin
… developed to perform the backstripping analysis. Tectonic subsidence curves were calculated to evaluate episodic subsidence models and extrapolated across unconformities to evaluate continuous subsidence models. Extrapolated tectonic subsidence curves near the center of the basin display a …

Plio-pleistocene tectonic evolution of Southern Sardinia
… the kinematic related to the Plio-Pleistocene tectonics in southern Sardinia, although tectonic activity during the latest million years is long since known in the Island. Then, the general aim of this research is to improve the understanding of the recent geological evolution of the southern …

The tectonic evolution of the western Tien Shan
… deformation usually is a result of tectonic forces associated with distant plate collisions. In general, the evolution of mountain ranges and basins in this environment is strongly controlled by the distribution and geometries of preexisting structures. Thus, predictive models …

Using 3D geodynamic slab models in tectonic reconstruction
… this thesis, two regions of convergent Cenozoic tectonics are investigated, and recent subduction is reconstructed using 3D models that map the surface of subducted slabs in the mantle. In Iran, the subduction of the Neotethys ocean prior to the collision of the Arabian continent with Eurasia is …

Tectonic and Climatic Controls on Continental River Systems
… respond to climate, geologic substrate, and tectonics across scales, how landscape disequilibrium results from changing tectonic and climatic forces, and implications of landscape evolution for past human settlement. In the first chapter, I use a process model of river erosion that includes …

Tectonic evolution and midplate volcanism in the South Pacific
… of a locked fracture zone may be obscured by tectonic effects, and there is no evidence for the release of shear stress on the fracture zone by vertical slip after leaving the active transform. One such small change in plate motion is documented in the South ern Austral Island region of the …

Evaluating Himalayan tectonic models using the Almora-Dadeldhura klippe
The Greater Himalayan klippen are erosionally isolated, thrust bounded rocks, overlying Lesser Himalayan rocks in the Himalayan thrust belt. Structural and thermochronological data gathered in the klippen illuminate how Greater Himalayan rocks were emplaced and deformed between ~30-10 Ma. The …

Tectonic evolution of the Western Limassol Forest Complex, Cyprus
… with the Troodos massif basalts suggests a tectonic history involving rapid extension across the WLFC and adiabatic melting of the upper mantle producing boninitic magmas. The regional setting for the WLFC suggests a model of formation involving the development of a transtensional transform …

Tectonic shift: a scientific account of my young adulthood
<p>Tectonic Shift evolved from my desire to examine the role that science has played in my life: as a student, a Jewish American, a friend, a daughter, a writer. My personal search for an understanding of the world around me is what ties together the pieces in Tectonic Shift. In these pages I …
