Crustal structure of the SE Carpathians and its foreland from densely spaced geophysical data

چکیده
This PhD research thesis was funded by the ISES (Netherlands Research Centre for Integrated Solid Earth Sciences) and it was accomplished within the framework of the PannCarp integrated programme (The Pannonian-Carpathian area: Tectonic topography and the aftermath of continental collision). The fundamental objectives of this study were: to solve the riddle of the upper crustal architecture puzzle of the south-eastern Carpathians and its foreland using geophysical data sets and give a robust interpretation of the whole crust beneath this area; and, to understand the neotectonic processes and make valid inferences about the tectonic and geodynamic evolution associated to the landscape formation processes before and after the continental collision within the Pannonian basin Carpathian System.

Early Paleozoic transform-margin structure beneath the Mississippi coastal plain, southeast United States
A geophysical transect across the central Gulf of Mexico coastal plain shows that the early Paleozoic continental margin of southern Laurentia is preserved in a nearly pristine state beneath younger strata that were emplaced during the late Paleozoic Ouachita orogeny and formation of the modern Gulf of Mexico coastal plain. The thickness of the crystalline crust decreases abruptly across the ma...
متن کامل3 - D lithospheric structure and regional / residual Bouguer anomalies in the Arabia – Eurasia collision ( Iran )
The aim of this work is to propose a first-order estimate of the crustal and lithospheric mantle geometry of the Arabia–Eurasia collision zone and to separate the measured Bouguer anomaly into its regional and local components. The crustal and lithospheric mantle structure is calculated from the geoid height and elevation data combined with thermal analysis. Our results show that Moho depth var...
متن کاملA Strong Ground Motion Catalogue of Selected Records for Shallow Crustal, Near Field Earthquakes in Iran
Understanding strong ground motions in the near-fault areas is important for seismic risk assessment in densely populated areas. In the past, lack of information on strong ground motion for large and moderate earthquakes led to the use of mainly far field large and moderate earthquake records in equations for calculation of the strong ground motion parameters. In this article, we collected and ...
متن کاملCrustal-scale cross-sections across the NW Zagros belt: implications for the Arabian margin reconstruction
Quantified balanced and restored crustal cross-sections across the NW Zagros Mountains are presented in this work integrating geological and geophysical local and global datasets. The balanced crustal cross-section reproduces the surficial folding and thrusting of the thick cover succession, including the near top of the Sarvak Formation (∼ 90 Ma) that forms the top of the restored crustal cros...

Ellipsoidal huge granitoidic batholiths of Zahedan, with NW-SE trending, located in south of this city which is intruded in low metamorphosed Eocene flysches (eastern Iran flysch zone). This batholith has two compositional terms: an extensive intermediate-acid term includes diorite - granodiorite with igneous source (I- type origin) and a low extent crustal and hybrid origin acidic term (H-type...
