The southwestern Chinese Tian Shan of Central Asia is an actively deforming part of the Indian^Asian collision system. Paleomagnetic investigations of two Plio^Pleistocene terrestrial successions provide the first detailed magnetostratigraphy for the upper Cenozoic strata in this region. Paleomagnetic samples were collected from 358 sites within the Atushi Formation and Xiyu Formation across th...

The Cingoli arcuate anticline is part of the Apennines fold-thrust belt in Italy. The anticline nvolves sedimentary carbonate strata generally affected by syn-thrusting contractional tructures such as bed-normal pressure solution seams, folds, and reverse faults. An xception is constituted by an outcrop in the anticline hinge, where sub-horizontal arbonate and chert beds are affected by joints ...

[1] Fold deformation in three dimensions involves shortening, uplift, and lateral growth. Fluvial terraces represent strain markers that have been widely applied to constrain a fold’s shortening and uplift. For the lateral growth, however, the utility of fluvial terraces has been commonly ignored. Situated along northern margin of Chinese Pamir, the Mushi anticline preserves, along its northern...

saymareh dam and hydro-power plant are under construction on saymareh river in ravandi anticline, ilam province. during boring the power tunnel which crosses the anticline, a large volume of water was encountered. this volume of water was not observed in the past. considering the water quality of springs, water level of dam site piezometers, geological and hydrogeological inspections, isotope a...

Mammalian fossils from two principal collecting areas in the lower Hanna Formation of the Carbon Basin comprise three faunas, the Grayson Ridge, Halfway Hill, and Sand Creek faunas. The Grayson Ridge and Halfway Hill faunas are diverse, consisting cumulatively of 29 mammalian species, at least two of which are new. The faunas are approximately equivalent in age and are either latest lbrrejonian...

the study area, paykola anticline, is located in the southwestern part of kermanshah province. the aim of this research is to evaluate the geomorphological indexes of active tectonics in paykola anticline as well as to study the effect of tectonic in the form and direction of geomorphological landforms. to achieve the aim of study, the lithological and tectonic characteristics of study area wer...

danehkhoshk anticline is a typical growing anticline in kermanshah province which is located in folded zagros belt. the purpose of this research is to evaluate the effect of tectonic on the triangular facet characteristics, the drainage density and on the drainage pattern formed on anticline. dimensions of triangular facets were determined by means of quickbird satellite images and field works....

We investigate the possibility to apply differential SAR interferometry (DIFSAR) techniques to analyse long term phenomena occurring in volcanic areas. The considered test site is represented by the Etna volcano area located in southern Italy; presented DIFSAR experiments show the existence of a long term deformation effect that can be interpreted as an actively growing anticline, beneath the u...

Unravelling the burial-deformation history of sedimentary rocks is prerequisite information to understand regional tectonic, sedimentary, thermal, and fluid-flow evolution foreland basins. We use a combination microstructural analysis, stylolites paleopiezometry, paleofluid geochemistry reconstruct Meso-Cenozoic carbonate sequence Cingoli Anticline (Northern Apennines, central Italy). Four majo...
