Foreland basin stratigraphic control on thrust belt evolution
The link between orogenic activity and foreland basin stratigraphy is well established; however, potential controls by foreland basin stratigraphy on thrust belt architecture have not been fully evaluated. Mechanical properties of typical foreland basin stratigraphic successions influence the structural development of fold-thrust belts in predictable ways. Fundamental features of foreland basin...
متن کاملInterseismic coupling on the main Himalayan thrust
We determine the slip rate and pattern of interseismic coupling on the Main Himalayan Thrust along the entire Himalayan arc based on a compilation of geodetic, interferometric synthetic aperture radar, and microseismicity data. We show that convergence is perpendicular to the arc and increases eastwards from 13.3 ± 1.7 mm/yr to 21.2 ± 2.0 mm/yr. These rates are comparable to geological and geom...
متن کاملClimatic control on rapid exhumation along the Southern Himalayan Front
Along the Southern Himalayan Front (SHF), areas with concentrated precipitation coincide with rapid exhumation, as indicated by young mineral cooling ages. Twenty new, young ( < 1–5 Ma) apatite fission track (AFT) ages have been obtained from the Himalayan Crystalline Core along the Sutlej Valley, NW India. The AFT ages correlate with elevation, but show no spatial relationship to tectonic stru...
متن کاملLithologic and Tectonic Controls on Bedrock Channel Form at the Northwest Himalayan Front
Recognition that channel form reflects a river's ability to erode rock has spawned stream-power models that estimate patterns of incision by approximating energy dissipation within a channel. Most commonly, these models assume channel width exponentially scales with drainage area, in part, because drainage area is easily extracted from digital elevation models (DEMs). However, this assumption i...

Figure 1. A: Map of Charleston-Nebo salient and northernmost Book Cliffs showing rock units, thrust faults (dashed where buried), key seismic coverage (gray lines), measured stratigraphic sections (1–7; 8 is location of additional Blackhawk sandstone samples), and wells. Rock units: KTs—Cretaceous–Tertiary strata (North Horn and younger formations), Kmv—Cretaceous Mesaverde Group (Blackhawk, Ca...
