Neotectonic inversion of the Hindu Kush-Pamir mountain region
The Hindu Kush-Pamir region of southern Asia is one of Earth's most rapidly deforming regions and it is poorly understood. This study develops a kinematic model based on active faulting in this part of the Trans-Himalayan orogenic belt. Previous studies have described north-verging thrust faults and some strike-slip faults, reflected in the northward-convex geomorphologic and structural grain of tAuthorsC.A. Ruleman2007 Rocky Mountain section Friends of the Pleistocene field trip - Quaternary geology of the San Luis basin of Colorado and New Mexico, September 7-9, 2007
Prologue Welcome to the 2007 Rocky Mountain Cell Friends of the Pleistocene Field Trip, which will concentrate on the Quaternary geology of the San Luis Basin of Colorado and New Mexico. To our best knowledge, Friends of the Pleistocene (FOP) has never run a trip through the San Luis Basin, although former trips in the region reviewed the 'Northern Rio Grande rift' in 1987 and the 'Landscape HiAuthorsMichael N. Machette, Mary-Margaret Coates, Margo L. JohnsonMap and Database of Probable and Possible Quaternary Faults in Afghanistan
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) with support from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) mission in Afghanistan, has prepared a digital map showing the distribution of probable and suspected Quaternary faults in Afghanistan. This map is a key component of a broader effort to assess and map the country's seismic hazards. Our analyses of remote-sensing imagery reveal a complex arrayAuthorsC.A. Ruleman, A. J. Crone, M. N.
