Younger fold belts

Growth and erosion of fold-and-thrust belts with an application to the Aconcagua fold-and-thrust belt, Argentina

[1] The development of topography within and erosional removal of material from an orogen exerts a primary control on its structure. We develop a model that describes the temporal development of a frontally accreting, critically growing Coulomb wedge whose topography is largely limited by bedrock fluvial incision. We present general results for arbitrary initial critical wedge geometries and in...

Paired metamorphic belts revisited

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Eclogite HP granulite Paired metamorphic belts UHPM UHTM The modern plate tectonics regime is characterized by a duality of thermal environments, one representing the subduction zone and the other representing the arc–backarc or orogenic hinterland. This duality is the hallmark of one-sided (asymmetric) subduction, and the characteristic imprint of one-sided subd...

Erosional control of the kinematics and geometry of fold‐and‐thrust belts imaged in a physical and numerical sandbox

[1] We investigate the effect of systematically varying erosion intensity (K) on the geometry and kinematics of fold‐and‐thrust belts modeled using equivalent conditions in physical and numerical experiments. Similar material properties and boundary conditions were used to compare numerical experiments to those modeled in the sandbox using an erosion rule that removes mass from the scaled sand ...

Respiratory belts and whistles

In this talk we will discuss to what extent breathing kinematics can be used as a cue to turn-taking behaviour in spontaneous multiparty conversation. We improve on existing accounts by considering all possible transitions between speaker states (silent, speaking, backchanneling) and by not relying on global speaker models. Instead, all features (including breathing range and resting expiratory...
