Foreland basin systems Tập 8 Số 2 - Trang 105-123 - 1996
Peter G. DeCelles, Katherine A. Giles
A foreland basin system is defined as: (a) an elongate region of potential
sediment accommodation that forms on continental crust between a contractional
orogenic belt and the adjacent craton, mainly in response to geodynamic
processes related to subduction and the resulting peripheral or retroarc
fold‐thrust belt; (b) it consists of four discrete depozones, referred to as the
wedge‐top, foredeep,... hiện toàn bộ
The large‐scale dynamics of grain‐size variation in alluvial basins, 1: Theory Tập 4 Số 2 - Trang 73-90 - 1992
Chris Paola, Paul L. Heller, Charles L. Angevine
ABSTRACTWe study the interplay of various factors causing vertical grain‐size
changes in alluvial basins using a simple coupled model for sediment transport
and downstream partitioning of grain sizes. The sediment‐transport model is
based on the linear diffusion equation; by deriving this from first principles
we show that the main controls on the diffusivity are water discharge and stream
type (b... hiện toàn bộ
Tectonostratigraphic units and stratigraphic sequences of the nonmarine Songliao basin, northeast China Tập 22 Số 1 - Trang 79-95 - 2010
Zhiqiang Feng, Chengzao Jia, Xinong Xie, Shun Zhang, Zihui Feng, Rex H. Pilger
ABSTRACTThrough tectonostratigraphic analysis of the nonmarine, intracontinental
Songliao basin in northeast China, four episodes of deformation are recognized:
mantle upwelling, rift, postrift thermal subsidence and structural inversion.
The episodes are related to regional geodynamics and plate motions. Each episode
is associated with a specific stratigraphic signature. The first period of
defor... hiện toàn bộ
Stratigraphic record and palaeogeographical context of the Neogene basins in the Betic Cordillera, Spain Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 21-36 - 1992
C. Sanz de Galdeano, C. Jiménez de Cisneros
AbstractThe Betic Cordillera (Southern Spain) acquired its present configuration
during the Neogene. The formation, evolution and total or partial destruction of
Neogene sedimentary basins were highly controlled by the geodynamic situations
and the positions of the basins in the Betic Cordillera.It is impossible to
reconstruct the geometry of basins formed during the Early and Middle Miocene,

Role of fault interactions in controlling synrift sediment dispersal patterns: Miocene, Abu Alaqa Group, Suez Rift, Sinai, Egypt Tập 11 Số 2 - Trang 167-189 - 1999
Sanjeev Gupta, Underhill, Z. D. Sharp, Gawthorpe
Although fault growth is an important control on drainage development in modern
rifts, such links are difficult to establish in ancient basins. To understand
how the growth and interaction of normal fault segments controls stratigraphic
patterns, we investigate the response of a coarse‐grained delta system to
evolution of a fault array in a Miocene half‐graben basin, Suez rift. The early
Miocene A... hiện toàn bộ
Vertical versus horizontal motions in the Alpine orogenic wedge: stratigraphic response in the foreland basin Tập 4 Số 3-4 - Trang 215-232 - 1992
Hugh Sinclair, Philip A. Allen
AbstractThe long‐term (50 Myr) development of orogenic thrust wedges and their
neighbouring foreland basins are inextricably linked. Foreland basins, such as
occur nonh of the Alps, flanking the Pyrenees, east of the Apennines and south
of the Himalayas, are characterized by an early underfilled (deep‐water) phase,
followed by a filled (shallow‐marine) or overfilled (continental) phase. The
extent... hiện toàn bộ
Rift basins and supradetachment basins: intracontinental extensional end‐members Tập 7 Số 2 - Trang 109-127 - 1995
S. Julio Friedmann, Douglas W. Burbank
AbstractTwo end‐members characterize a continuum of continental extensional
tectonism: rift settings and highly extended terrains. These different styles
result in and are recorded by different extensional basins. Intracontinental
rifts (e.g. East Africa, Lake Baikal) usually occur in thermally equilibrated
crust of normal thickness. Rift settings commonly display alkali to tholeiitic
magmatism, s... hiện toàn bộ
A two‐step process for the reflooding of theMediterranean after theMessinianSalinityCrisis Tập 24 Số 2 - Trang 125-153 - 2012
François Bache, Speranta‐Maria Popescu, Marina Rabineau, Christian Gorini, Jean‐Pierre Suc, Georges Clauzon, Louis Géli, Jean‐Loup Rubino, Mihaela Melinte-Dobrinescu, Ferrán Estrada, Laurent Londeix, Rolando Armijo, Bertrand Meyer, Laurent Jolivet, Estelle Leroux, Daniel Aslanian, Antônio Tadeu dos Reis, Ludovic Mocochain, Nikola Dumurdžanov, Ivan Zagorchev, Vesna Lesić, Dragana Tomić, M. Namık Çağatay, Jean‐Pierre Brun, Dimitrios Sokoutis, István Csató, Gülsen Uçarkuş, Z. Çakır
AbstractTheMessinianSalinityCrisis is well known to have resulted from a
significant drop of theMediterranean sea level. Considering both onshore and
offshore observations, the subsequent reflooding is generally thought to have
been very sudden. We present here offshore seismic evidence from theGulf ofLions
and re‐visited onshore data fromItaly andTurkey that lead to a new concept of a
two‐step re... hiện toàn bộ
