Abstract:

Palaeomagnetic studies have been carried out in three key regions of the eastern Mediterranean part of the Tethyan orogenic belt. Within the Troodos ophiolite of Cyprus, samples were collected from extrusives and sediments exposed along the Arakapas fault belt and around the periphery of the Limassol Forest block. These areas represent crust which formed in the Upper Cretaceous within a 'leaky' oceanic transform fault, and also a small fragment of crust generated at an 'Anti-Troodos' spreading axis. Significant clockwise intra-crustal rotations of small fault-bounded blocks have been identifie

Abstract:

The Pontiac Subprovince is a Late Archean (ca. 2.7 Ga) metasedimentary-metavolanic-granitoid-gneiss terrane situated along the southeastern margin of the Superior Province in Quebec. Detailed structural study of the northwestern part of this amphibolite facies metasedimentary belt has revealed a protracted history of deformation in Late Archean and Early Proterozoic time. An early contractional event (D$\sb1$) resulted in development of steep foliations now preserved as folded or straight relics within microlithons of S$\sb2$ foliation. During this stage, the Cadillac-Larder Lake fault zone ac

Abstract:

Volcanic activity, and the resultant deposits and structures at the Earth's surface, are the outcome of the inner workings of underground magmatic plumbing systems. These systems, essentially, consist of magma reservoirs which supply magma to the surface through volcanic conduits feeding volcanic eruptions. The mechanics and structure of plumbing systems remain largely unknown due to the obvious challenges involved in inferring volcanic processes occurring underground from observations at the surface. Nevertheless, volcanologists are beginning to gain a deeper understanding of the workings and

Chapters 2 and 3 focus on a technique that uses changes in the local stress field beneath a volcano to determine the source of these changes and help forecast eruptions,

Abstract:

Weaving and architecture, conceived simultaneously with cave paintings, are two ancient forms of craft used to enclose space and provide shelter harmoniously with nature. In its basic composition, a useable textile is the interlacing of two members, warp and weft, at right angles to create structure and surface respectively. Textile artist Anni Albers of the Bauhaus attributes the organization of weaving to the skills of an ancient goddess. Her understanding of prehistoric cultures further links women closer to the overall creation of structure, though perceived as a masculine endeavor. Conseq

Globally, deformation along obliquely converging plate margins produce a wide variety of complex fault patterns, including crustal pop-ups, fault duplex structures, restraining bends, and flower structures. Depending on the plate velocity, plate obliquity, crustal rheology, length-scale, and climate, the evolution of faulting into translational and vertical strain can range in complexity and fault slip partitioning (i.e. vertical vs. horizontal strain).

Of fundamental concern in volcanic hazard and risk assessment studies of volcanic systems is what role crustal structures might play in the ascent of magma through the crust. What are the processes that govern the spatial distribution and timing of eruptions, especially in populated areas or near sensitive facilities?

The arc front is the surface manifestation of partial melting in the mantle wedge and is characterized by a narrow chain of active volcanoes that migrate in time.

Abstract:

The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) was investigated in three Chinese Loess Plateau sedimentary sections along a W–E transect. Previously published models assumed that winter monsoons were responsible for the magnetic fabric formation of loess sequences. In our new interpretation, the stronger summer monsoons from the southeast played the major role in magnetic fabric orientation in the studied west and central parts of the Chinese Loess Plateau. The AMS was generated during the rainy summer monsoon when the sedimentary particles including magnetite were rearranged, settled, and fi

Abstract:

<p>Geochemical records of continental weathering environments are limited despite their critical value to understanding how past climates functioned. This thesis seeks to address this limitation by drawing together innovative lines of research in geochronology, stable isotope geochemistry, and chemical weathering. Two distinct projects are described; each project designed to provide new insight into the paleoenvironmental and tectonic history of continental weathering environments. These projects, though distinct in their methods and samples, are unified by their goal: to use the stable, radio

Abstract:

Strain distribution across broad plate boundaries is inadequately understood. California's Mojave Desert has been adjacent to Tertiary convergent and transform plate margins and its general geology is fairly well known, making it an excellent location for crustal motion studies. Models for the Cenozoic history of the Mojave Desert predict crustal motions, but paleomagnetism is the primary method for quantifying such motions. The Barstow, California area has good exposure of appropriate rocks ranging from Oligocene-earliest Miocene to Pliocene in age. Standard paleomagnetic sampling and analysi
