Seismic anisotropy: tracing plate dynamics in the mantle
Elastic anisotropy is present where the speed of a seismic wave depends on its direction. In
Earth's mantle, elastic anisotropy is induced by minerals that are preferentially oriented in a …

On the origin of orogens
RA Jamieson, C Beaumont - Bulletin, 2013 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
In order to understand how orogens “work,” a quantitative approach demonstrating proof of
concept is essential. Our goal is to reconcile the diverse array of tectonic features observed …

Coseismic and postseismic fault slip for the 17 August 1999, M= 7.5, Izmit, Turkey earthquake
We use Global Positioning System (GPS) observations and elastic half-space models to
estimate the distribution of coseismic and postseismic slip along the Izmit earthquake …

[PDF][PDF] Uplift, shortening, and steady state topography in active mountain belts
We present a tectonic, surface process model used to investigate the role of horizontal
shortening in convergent orogens and the effects on steady-state topography. The tectonic …
