  • Principles of Practical Tectonic Analysis of Cratonic Regions

    With Particular Reference to Western North America

    by Henry Lyatsky, Gerald M. Friedman, Vadim B. Lyatsky ...
    Series Book 84 - Lecture Notes in Earth Sciences
    Steep crystalline-basement faults, commonly indicated by potential-field anomalies, played a crucial role in evolution of continental cratonic platforms. In the Phanerozoic Western Canada Sedimentary Province, history of crustal block movements and warps is reconstructed from the distribution of depocenters, lithofacies and structures in structural-formational étages in sedimentary cover. Each ... Read more

  • The Cordilleran Miogeosyncline in North America

    Geologic Evolution and Tectonic Nature

    by Henry V. Lyatsky, Vadim B. Lyatsky ...
    Series Book 86 - Lecture Notes in Earth Sciences
    Steep crustal-scale faults, having their origins in the Late Archean and Early Proterozoic and trending NE-SW, which define the fundamental block lithospheric structure of the North American craton, are seen from geological and geophysical evidence to continue far into the interior of the Late Proterozoic-Phanerozoic Canadian Cordilleran mobile megabelt. This suggests that variously reworked ex ... Read more

  • Continental-Crust Structures on the Continental Margin of Western North America

    by Henry V. Lyatsky ...
    Series Book 62 - Lecture Notes in Earth Sciences
    The NE Pacific Ocean is considered the birthplace of many fundamental ideas for modern plate tectonics theory. In this book the orogenic belts of this region are discussed in a single, internally consistent tectonic concept. Geological information is considered the most reliable. Geophysical models are tested for compatibility with observable geological data. The new concept avoids force-fitting ... Read more

  • Accretionary Prisms and Convergent Margin Tectonics in the Northwest Pacific Basin

    Edited by Yujiro Ogawa, Ryo Anma, Yildirim Dilek ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Accretionary prisms in convergent margins are natural laboratories for exploring initial orogenic processes and mountain building episodes. They are also an important component of continental growth both vertically and laterally. Accretionary prisms are seismically highly active and their internal deformation via megathrusting and out-of-sequence faulting are a big concern for earthquake and ... Read more

  • Mantle Plumes and Their Effects

    by Mainak Choudhuri, Michal Nemčok ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book presents a brief synopsis of the current academic understanding of the plume hypothesis, its surface manifestations and its shortcomings. It also describes methods for estimating the uplift history of a region due to plume activity. It discusses different models for the elastic properties of the lithosphere and their estimation as a background for plume emplacement, and introduces the ... Read more

  • Geomorphology of Lake-Catchment Systems

    A New Perspective from Limnogeomorphology

    by Kenji Kashiwaya ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book presents the study of limnogeomorphology, in which past proxy data such as lacustrine sediments with information on landform development can be linked to modern observed data acquired by instruments, including hydro-geomorphological and sedimentary data.Traditionally, in the field of earth sciences, it has been thought that geophysical studies dealing mainly with the present process were ...

  • Dyke Swarms: Keys for Geodynamic Interpretation

    by Rajesh Srivastava ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Dykes occur in a wide variety of geological and tectonic settings and their detailed study through space and time is imperative for understanding several geological events. Dykes are believed to be an integral part of continental rifting and when they occur as spatially extensive swarms of adequate size, they can be of immense utility in continental reconstructions and also help to identify Large ...
