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
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

TL;DR: In this article, the role of smaller blocks in the accretion of the continental mosaic is emphasized, and subduction related granitoids representing mixtures of mantle and crustal components and anatectic granitoid have been analyzed and dated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quaternary extension in southern Tibet: Field observations and tectonic implications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize evidence for Quaternary and active faulting collected in the field during three Sino-French expeditions to southeastern Tibet (1980-1982) using structural and topographic reliefs, as well as synglacial and postglacial vertical offsets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quaternary evolution of the Corinth Rift and its implications for the Late Cenozoic evolution of the Aegean
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of aerial and SPOT imagery supported by field observations is presented to constrain rates of faulting and the distribution of deformation in the seismically active Aegean region.
