Coupling glacial erosion and tectonics at active orogens: A numerical modeling study
[1] Climate change indirectly alters the distribution of tectonic uplift at active orogens by modifying the action of surface processes, which in turn alters mountain topography. The impact of alpine glaciation on tectonic activity is explored here. The predictions of previous analytical, critical wedge models are compared with the output of a numerical model that explicitly couples rock uplift...
متن کاملEquivalency of geologic and geodetic rates in contractional orogens: New insights from the Pamir Frontal Thrust
[1] Across contractional orogens, the equivalency between decadal convergence rates from geodetic GPS data and geologic shortening rates at time scales of thousands or millions of years has rarely been documented. Here, we present an example from the northern margin of Chinese Pamir, where the Main Pamir Thrust is tectonically quiescent, and recent deformation is concentrated on the Pamir Front...
متن کاملBasement membrane macromolecules: insights from atomic force microscopy.
The major macromolecules of basement membranes-collagen IV, laminin-1, and heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG)-have been analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), both individually and in combination with each other. The positions of laminin binding to collagen IV were mapped and compared with the positions of imperfections in the amino acid sequence of collagen IV; the apparent molecular volu...
متن کاملVariation in basement membrane topography in human thick skin.
Samples of human plantar and palmar skin were excised and incubated in 20 mM EDTA after which the epidermis was gently separated from the dermis with the plane of separation occurring in the lamina lucida. Scanning electron microscopic examination of the dermal component revealed the classically described series of regularly spaced grooves and papillae that characterize the epidermal-dermal jun...
متن کاملCenozoic tectonics of western North America controlled by evolving width of Farallon slab.
Subduction of oceanic lithosphere occurs through two modes: subducting plate motion and trench migration. Using a global subduction zone data set and three-dimensional numerical subduction models, we show that slab width (W) controls these modes and the partitioning of subduction between them. Subducting plate velocity scales with W(2/3), whereas trench velocity scales with 1/W. These findings ...
