Fold-and-thrust belts and accretionary wedges form by compression of sedimentary
sequences and basement rocks into forward and backward thrusts, folds, nappes, and …

The movement of a low-viscosity crustal layer in response to topographic loading provides a
potential mechanism for (1) eastward flow of the Asian lower crust causing the peripheral …

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 …

Convergent plate boundaries are characterized by the development of crustal orogenic
wedges and orogenic plateaus but also by gravitational collapse of previously thickened …

The Tibetan Plateau is the type example of a large orogenic plateau formed as a result of
continent‐continent collision. The morphology of the plateau and its margins suggests that …

The links between an early phase of orogenesis, when orogens are commonly wedge
shaped, and a later phase, with a plateau geometry, are investigated using coupled thermal …

Understanding the formation and evolution of high mountain belts, such as the Himalayas
and the adjacent Tibetan Plateau, has been the focus of many tectonic and numerical …

Pressurization of gas within embedded channels and cavities is a popular method for
actuating soft robots. Various previous works examined the effects of internal fluid …

Mega‐accretionary prisms do not exhibit the characteristics of the classical Coulomb wedge
theory. In the example of the Barbados accretionary prism, a system of elongated …

Abstract The Critical Coulomb Wedge Theory (CCWT) has been extensively used in
compressional tectonics to resolve the shape of orogenic or accretionary prisms, while it is …
