The Mesozoic palaeorelief of the northern Tian Shan (China)
The Tian Shan range offers a natural laboratory to study orogenic processes. Most of the previous studies focused on either the Paleozoic evolution of the range or its Cenozoic intracontinental evolution linked with the India-Asia collision. In this study, detailed field investigations on the relationship between sedimentary cover and basement constrain the Mesozoic evolution of the northern Ti...

متن کاملDetachment folding in the Southwestern Tian Shan–Tarim foreland, China: shortening estimates and rates
Geologic observations of the Chinese Tian Shan foreland reveal active, contractional deformation along the entire margin. To quantify the amount of shortening and understand the structural style, we mapped the stratigraphy and structure of four folds expressed at the western end of the foreland, north of Kashi. In this region, upper Tertiary through Quaternary sediments are conformable, but an ...
متن کاملRapid viscoelastic uplift in southeast Alaska caused by post-Little Ice Age glacial retreat
Our observations show that extreme uplift in southeast Alaska began about 1770 AD, with relative sea level (RSL) change to 5.7 m and current uplift rates to 32 mm/yr. This region experienced widespread glacial melting following the Little Ice Age (LIA), with the collapse of the Glacier Bay Icefield alone equivalent to 8 mm of global sea level rise. Geodynamic modelling links the uplift to post-...
متن کاملThe Medieval Climate Anomaly and the Little Ice Age in the eastern Ecuadorian Andes
To better characterize the climate variability of the last millennium in the high Andes, we analyzed the pollen content of a 1150-yr-old sediment core collected in a bog located at 3800 m a.s.l. in the páramo in the eastern Cordillera in Ecuador. An upslope convective index based on the ratio between cloud transported pollen from the Andean forest to the bog (T) and Poaceae pollen frequencies, ...
