Responses of both modern and ancient fluvial depositional systems to growing folds can be interpreted in terms of interactions among competing controlling variables which can be incorporated into simple conceptual models. The ratio of the rate of sediment accumulation to the rate of structural uplift determines whether a fold develops a topographic expression above local base level. The balance...

The present paper reviews the geological development of the Faroes part of the NE Atlantic Margin in the Cenozoic Era. The Faroes area is located west of the post-Caledonian rift basin system formed in the Devonian after the collapse of the Caledonian mountains. Tectonic movements and plate reorganizations during several phases have strongly influenced sedimentation and erosion along the Caledo...

[1] The role of channel width and slope adjustments to differential uplift in rivers within actively deforming terrains remains contentious. Here high-resolution topographic surveying of formerly antecedent outwash channels demonstrates marked changes in channel width as a primary response to differential uplift. For five Late Quaternary alluvial paleochannels crossing small folds along the act...

Companies tend to produce over optimistic forecasts of demand. Psychologists have suggested that optimism, at least in part, results from selective bias in processing information. When high demand is more desirable than low demand information favouring high demand may carry more weight than information that suggests the opposite. To test this, participants in an experiment used a prototypical f...

Topographic change in regions of active deformation is a function of rates of uplift and denudation. The rate of topographic development and change of an actively uplifting mountain range, the Santa Monica Mountains, southern California, was assessed using landscape attributes of the present topography, uplift rates and denudation rates. Landscape features were characterized through analysis of...

Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are used to estimate different morphologies, analysis of river profile, delineating drainage basin and drainage pattern associated with lithological and structural changes. The study area is Maroon River located in Khuzestan Province, Iran. In this study geomorphometric analysis based on DEM carried out to understand Maroon river uplift rate and tectonic- erosion...

The Southern Oklahoma Aulacogen (SOA) is a northwest-trending failed arm of a Cambrian triple junction. Significant structures along the SOA include the Wichita Uplift and the Anadarko Basin in southwest Oklahoma. The rift underwent a complex geologic history of bimodal volcanism, faulting, and subsidence before Pennsylvanian compression inverted and uplifted the structure as part of the format...
