Sedimentary vs. tectonic burial and exhumation along the Apennines (Italy)

Erosion, burial, and exhumation at Ganges Mensa, Mars

Ross A. Beyer, NASA Ames Research Center, MS 245-3, Moffett Field, CA, USA ([email protected]) Ganges Mensa is a large mesa-like structure located near 311 E, 7.5 S on Mars within the Ganges Chasma. The slopes and surfaces of Ganges Mensa display a variety of morphologies, indicating that units of variable lithology constitute the stratigraphic stack of the mensa as observed by many previous ...

Ongoing Exhumation and Recent Exposure of Sedimentary Outcrops on Mars

Isotropic and anisotropic seismic structures across Northern Apennines (Italy)

7 Isotropic and anisotropic seismic structures across Northern Apennines (Italy) 8 subduction zone are imaged using a new method for the analysis of teleseismc 9 receiver functions (RFs). More than 13,000 P-wave coda of teleseismic records 10 from the 2003-2007 RETREAT experiment are able to reveal new insights 11 into a peculiar subduction zone which develops at the convergent margin of 12 two...

Climatic 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...

Geochronologic Constraints on the Tectonic Evolution and Exhumation of Nanga Parbat, Western Himalaya Syntaxis, Revisited

We examine the timing of deformation and exhumation of the Nanga Parbat-Haramosh massif in the western syntaxis of the Himalaya. This study presents geochronologic and thermochronologic data obtained from basement, shear zone, and intrusive units within the massif to reveal the Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the massif and to document the extent of the Plio-Pleistocene tectonic activity. These ...
