Abstract:

I determined the source parameters of 53 moderate-sized earthquakes in the region of the Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis through the joint inversion of regional and teleseismic distance long-period body waves. The average rates of deformation are determined by summing the moment tensors from both recent and historic earthquakes. Strike-slip movement on the Sagaing fault terminates in the north (just south of the syntaxis), where thrusting (northeast convergence) and crustal thickening are predominant. Slip vectors for thrust mechanisms in the Eastern Himalaya in general are not orthogonal to the Hi

Abstract:

Extensive studies have been undertaking in exploring the tectonic evolution of the Himalayan Orogen. Various tectonic models were developed to explain and constraint spatially and temporally critical events including the collision of Indian Plate with the Eurasia Plate, crustal thickening in association with the indentation, crustal spreading of the Tibetan Plateau. Recent study by King et al., 2011 identified two distinct leucogranite suites which were formed by contrasting tectonic actions at Sakya. They are Equigranular Anastomosing Leucogranite (AEG) formed under prograde fluidpresent cond

Abstract:

The Pioneer Mountains of Idaho expose a lower plate core of Precambrian and Ordovician metasedimentary rocks, which are intruded by Cretaceous and Eocene plutonic bodies. The core is separated by a detachment fault from a surrounding upper plate of Paleozoic and Tertiary sedimentary and volcanic units. The detachment system developed during a Tertiary extensional event which overprinted Paleozoic and Mesozoic east-directed compressional features, and exhibits both brittle and ductile (mylonitic) deformation. Stretching lineations in the mylonite and striations along the detachment surface both

Abstract:

Metamorphic rocks constitute a vast volumetric proportion of the Earth’s continental lithosphere and are invaluable recorders of the mechanisms and rates of deformation and metamorphism that occur at the micro-, meso- and macro-scale. As such, they have the potential to provide detailed insight into important tectonic processes such as the subductive transport of material into, and back from, mantle depths and also folding, faulting and thickening of crust that occurs during collisional orogeny. The Himalayan-Karakoram-Tibetan orogen is the youngest and most prominent example of a continent-co

Abstract:

Understanding spatial and temporal variations in strain accumulation and release along plate boundaries is a fundamental problem in tectonics. Short-term and long-term slip rates are expected to be equal if the regional stress field remains unchanged over time, yet discrepancies between modern geodetic (decadal time scale) slip rates and long-term geologic (10^3 to 10^6 years) slip rates have been observed on parts of the Pacific-North American plate boundary system. Contemporary geodetic slip rates are observed to be ~2 times greater than late Pleistocene geologic slip rates across the southe

The Centennial normal fault offsets the Centennial Mountains on the north down-dropping the Centennial Valley. Approximately 3000 meters of offset along the Centennial normal fault creates the Centennial Mountains. The present Centennial Mountains are subdivided into two stratigraphically different blocks by the Odell Creek normal fa

The Iberian Peninsula is considered as a “micro-continent”, located between the Eurasian and the African plates. Several ranges formed during the Alpine orogeny, in the borders of the plate or intraplate. As part of this thesis the first magnetotelluric (MT) data was collected across the intraplate Iberian fold and thrust belt and the first long-period magnetotelluric was collected across the Cantabrian Mountains, located in the northern boundary of the Iberian plate. This MT data was used to image the electrical conductivity distribution of the crust beneath these two orogens. The analysis of

Abstract:

Controls on denudation in the eastern Bolivian Andes are evaluated by synthesis of new and existing denudation estimates from basin-morphometry, stream - powered fluvial incision, landslide mapping, sediment flux, erosion surfaces, thermochronology, foreland basin sediment volumes, and structural restorations. Centered at 17.5 °S, the northeastern Bolivian Andes exhibit high relief, a wet climate, and a narrow fold- thrust belt. In contrast, the southeastern Bolivian Andes have low relief, a semi-arid climate, and a wide fold-thrust belt. Basin -morphometry indicates a northward increase in re

Abstract:

The Himalaya is an orogenic welt within the Alpine-Tethyan mountain chain. The extant tectonic model for the Himalayan terrane stack entails continuous post-collisional convergence and persistent heating during burial and subsequent exhumation. An alternative hypothesis to this "continuous evolution" scenario involves episodic tectonic mode switching, a concept that has been documented in other orogens along the Alpine-Tethyan belt. This thesis therefore tests the possibility that there is episodic mode switching in respect to the evolution of the Greater Himalaya in its topographically high c

abstract: Quantifying the temporal and spatial evolution of active continental rifts contributes to our understanding of fault system evolution and seismic hazards. Rift systems also preserve robust paleoenvironmental records and are often characterized by strong climatic gradients that can be used to examine feedbacks between climate and tectonics. In this thesis, I quantify the spatial and temporal history of rift flank uplift by analyzing bedrock river channel profiles along footwall escarpments in the Malawi segment of the East Africa Rift.
