Journal ArticleDOI
The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission
Tom G. Farr,Paul A. Rosen,Edward R. Caro,Robert E. Crippen,Riley M. Duren,Scott Hensley,M. Kobrick,Mimi Paller,Ernesto Rodriguez,L. Roth,David Seal,S. Shaffer,Joanne Shimada,Jeffrey W. Umland,Marian Werner,Michael E. Oskin,Douglas W. Burbank,Douglas Alsdorf +17 more
TL;DR: The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission produced the most complete, highest-resolution digital elevation model of the Earth, using dual radar antennas to acquire interferometric radar data, processed to digital topographic data at 1 arc sec resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decoupling of erosion and precipitation in the Himalayas
Douglas W. Burbank,Ann E. Blythe,J. Putkonen,Beth Pratt-Sitaula,Emmanuel J. Gabet,Michael E. Oskin,Ana P. Barros,T. P. Ojha +7 more
TL;DR: Observations from a meteorological network across the Greater Himalaya, Nepal, along with estimates of erosion rates at geologic timescales from low-temperature thermochronometry are combined to predict spatial variations in precipitation and slopes and correlate with gradients in both erosion rates and crustal strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of bedrock landslides on cosmogenically determined erosion rates
Nathan A. Niemi,Nathan A. Niemi,Michael E. Oskin,Douglas W. Burbank,Arjun M. Heimsath,Emmanuel J. Gabet +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a numerical simulation of cosmogenic nuclide production and distribution in landslide-dominated catchments to address the effect of bedrock landsliding on cosmogene erosion rates in actively eroding landscapes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kamerling,Mark R. Legg,Scott C. Lindvall,Harold Magistrale,Craig Nicholson,Nathan A. Niemi,Michael E. Oskin,Sue Perry,George Planansky,Thomas K. Rockwell,Peter M. Shearer,Christopher C. Sorlien,M. Peter Süss,John Suppe,Jerry Treiman,Robert S. Yeats +27 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a triangulated surface representation (t-surfs) of more than 140 active faults are defined based on surfaces traces, seismicity, seismic reflection profiles, wells, and geologic cross sections and models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-Field Deformation from the El Mayor–Cucapah Earthquake Revealed by Differential LIDAR
Michael E. Oskin,J Ramón Arrowsmith,Alejandro Hinojosa Corona,A. J. Elliott,John M. Fletcher,Eric J. Fielding,P. O. Gold,J. Javier Gonzalez Garcia,Kenneth W. Hudnut,Jing Liu-Zeng,O. Teran +10 more
TL;DR: A high-resolution topographic survey of the surrounding area that ruptured during the 2010 Mw 7.2 El Mayor–Cucapah earthquake that produced a 120-kilometer-long multifault rupture through northernmost Baja California, Mexico completely captures an earthquake surface rupture in a sparsely vegetated region with pre-earthquake lower-resolution LIDAR data.
