Journal ArticleDOI
Propagating extrusion tectonics in Asia: New insights from simple experiments with plasticine
TL;DR: In this paper, plane indentation experiments on unilaterally confined blocks of plasticine help us to understand finite intracontinental deformation and the evolution of strike-slip faulting in eastern Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI
The displacement field of the Landers earthquake mapped by radar interferometry
Didier Massonnet,Marc Rossi,César Carmona,Frédéric Adragna,Gilles Peltzer,Kurt L. Feigl,Thierry Rabaute +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interferometry to capture the movements produced by the 1992 earthquake in Landers, California, by combining topographic information with SAR images obtained by the ERS-1 satellite before and after the earthquake.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the mechanics of the collision between India and Asia
TL;DR: The reproducible pattern of faulting obtained from plane-strain indentation experiments on unilaterally confined blocks of plasticine suggests that this extrusion process has occurred during most of the collision history as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crustal thickening in Gansu-Qinghai, lithospheric mantle subduction, and oblique, strike-slip controlled growth of the Tibet plateau
Bertrand Meyer,Paul Tapponnier,Laurence Bourjot,François Métivier,Y Gaudemer,Gilles Peltzer,Guo Shunmin,Chen Zhitai +7 more
TL;DR: For example, this paper showed that the most active thrusts usually break the ground many kilometres north of the range-fronts, along the northeast limbs of growing, asymmetric ramp-anticlines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation and evolution of strike‐slip faults, rifts, and basins during the India‐Asia Collision: An experimental approach
Gilles Peltzer,Paul Tapponnier +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation and evolution of large Tertiary strike-slip faults during the penetration of India into eastern Asia are investigated by means of plane strain indentation experiments on layered plasticine models.
