Journal ArticleDOI
Tectonic history of the Altyn Tagh fault system in northern Tibet inferred from Cenozoic sedimentation
An Yin,Peter E. Rumelhart,Robert F. Butler,Eric Cowgill,T. M. Harrison,David A. Foster,Raymond V. Ingersoll,Zhang Qing,Zhou Xian-Qiang,Wang Xiaofeng,Andrew D. Hanson,Asaf Raza +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the ages of detrital apatites, existing biostratigraphic data, and magnetostrigraphic analysis to establish chronostratigraphy, whereas composition of sandstone and coarse clastic sedimentary rocks were used to determine the unroofing history of the source region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exhumation, crustal deformation, and thermal structure of the Nepal Himalaya derived from the inversion of thermochronological and thermobarometric data and modeling of the topography
Frédéric Herman,Frédéric Herman,Peter Copeland,Jean Philippe Avouac,Laurent Bollinger,Gweltaz Mahéo,Patrick Le Fort,Santaman Rai,Santaman Rai,David A. Foster,Arnaud Pêcher,Kurt Stüwe,Pierre Henry +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors run 3D models by coupling PECUBE with a landscape evolution model (CASCADE) and show that lateral variations of the kinematics of crustal deformation and exhumation are likely.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Damara orogen perspective on the assembly of southwestern Gondwana
David R Gray,David A. Foster,Joseph G. Meert,Ben Goscombe,Richard Armstrong,Rudolph A.J. Trouw,Cees W. Passchier +6 more
TL;DR: The Pan-African Damara orogenic system records Gondwana amalgamation involving serial suturing of the Congo-Sao Francisco and Ro ´o de la Plata cratons from 580 to 550 Ma, before amalgamation with the Kalahari - Antarctic cratsons (South Gondaline) as part of the 530 Ma Kuunga-Damara Orogeny as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution and Structure of the Lachlan Fold Belt (Orogen) of Eastern Australia
David A. Foster,David R Gray +1 more
TL;DR: The Lachlan Fold Belt (Lachlan Orogen) of eastern Australia was part of a Paleozoic convergent plate margin that stretched around the supercontinent of Gondwana from South America to Australia as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tectonic evolution of the Lachlan Orogen, southeast Australia: Historical review, data synthesis and modern perspectives
David R Gray,David A. Foster +1 more
TL;DR: The Lachlan Orogen, like many other orogenic belts, has undergone paradigm shifts from geosynclinal to plate-tectonic theory of evolution over the past 40 years as mentioned in this paper.
