Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanics of fold-and-thrust belts and accretionary wedges
TL;DR: In this article, a simple analytical theory that predicts the critical tapers of subaerial and submarine Coulomb wedges is developed and tested quantitatively in three ways: First, laboratory model experiments with dry sand match the theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the Himalayan orogen as constrained by along-strike variation of structural geometry, exhumation history, and foreland sedimentation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors systematically review the essential observations relevant to the along-strike variation of the Himalayan geologic framework and its role in Cenozoic Himalayan exhumation, metamorphism and foreland sedimentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of recent developments concerning the structure, mechanics and fluid flow properties of fault zones
Daniel R. Faulkner,Christopher A.-L. Jackson,Rebecca J. Lunn,Roy W. Schlische,Zoe K. Shipton,Christopher A. J. Wibberley,Martha Oliver Withjack +6 more
TL;DR: Fault zones and fault systems have a key role in the development of the Earth's crust and control the mechanics and fluid flow properties of the crust, and the architecture of sedimentary deposits in basins 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
Active folding of fluvial terraces across the Siwaliks Hills, Himalayas of central Nepal
Jérôme Lavé,Jean Philippe Avouac +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed geomorphic evidence of recent crustal deformation in the sub-Himalaya of central Nepal, south of the Kathmandu Basin, using structural geology and fluvial terraces along the Bagmati and Bakeya Rivers.
