Orbiting and landed spacecrafts have provided vast amounts of data on fluvial and fluvial-
related landforms and sediments on Mars. One variant of these landforms consists of ridges …

Extensional and transtensional continental arc basins preserve very thick, continuous
sequences and are an important contributor to the growth of continents; therefore, it is …

We describe volcanic inverted relief sites around the world, making a comparative analysis
of those most significant sites found from literature and our own search on imagery and …

The Sierra Nevada of California is the longest and tallest mountain range in the co-terminus
USA, and has long been regarded as topographically very young (< 6 Ma); however, recent …

Polygonal ridge networks, also known as boxwork or reticulate ridges, are found in
numerous locations and geological contexts across Mars. Distinguishing the morphologies …

Abstract The Walker Lane currently accommodates∼ 20% of the dextral motion between the
Pacific and North American plates. This accommodation occurs on regional-scale systems of …

We integrate new geochronological, petrographic, and geochemical data with previously
published (Sierra Crest–Little Walker volcanic center) and new (Ebbetts Pass volcanic …

Eocene to Pliocene paleochannels of the Sierra Nevada (California, USA) were first
exploited for gold placer deposits during the California gold rush (1848), and then mapped …

The NS–trending Andes surmount South American lithosphere above the east-descending
Nazca plate. The highest mountains, underlain by∼ 70-km-thick crust, cap the Cordillera at …

We show here that transtensional rifting along the eastern boundary of the Sierra Nevada
microplate (Walker Lane rift) began by ca. 12 Ma in the central Sierra Nevada (USA), within …
