Reuniting the Ötztal Nappe: the tectonic evolution of the Schneeberg Complex
(
- International Journal of Earth Sciences
, 2021-11-27)
The Ötztal Nappe in the Eastern Alps is a thrust sheet of Variscan metamorphic basement rocks and their Mesozoic sediment cover. It has been argued that the main part of the Ötztal Nappe and its southeastern part, the Texel ...
Exploring possible links between Quaternary aggradation in the Upper Rhine Graben and the glaciation history of northern Switzerland
(
- International Journal of Earth Sciences
, 2021-05-16)
The Quaternary filling of the Upper Rhine Graben is an excellent archive to reconstruct sediment dynamics in response to climate change, in particular related to past glaciations of the Swiss Alpine Foreland. Here, a ...
Holocene paleoenvironmental change inferred from two sediment cores collected in the Tibetan lake Taro Co
(
- Journal of Paleolimnology
, 2021-07-18)
The Tibetan Plateau, also known as the “Water Tower of Asia” because of its function as a water storage and supply region, responds dramatically to modern climate changes. Paleoecological shifts inferred from lake sediment ...
Seismic stratigraphy of the Klints Bank east of Gotland (Baltic Sea): a giant drumlin sealing thermogenic hydrocarbons
(
- Geo-Marine Letters
, 2021-01-12)
This work analyses six high-resolution multi-channel seismic profiles across the Klints Bank east of Gotland. The Klints Bank consists of a drop-shaped increase of the Quaternary thickness and is oriented in an approximately ...
Crustal variability along the rifted/sheared East African margin: a review
(
- Geo-Marine Letters
, 2021-04-08)
The East African margin between the Somali Basin in the north and the Natal Basin in the south formed as a result of the Jurassic/Cretaceous dispersal of Gondwana. While the initial movements between East and West Gondwana ...
The birth of the Alps: Ediacaran to Paleozoic accretionary processes and crustal growth along the northern Gondwana margin
(
- International Journal of Earth Sciences
, 2021-05-10)
New whole-rock geochemical and coupled U–Pb and Lu–Hf LA-ICP-MS zircon data of metasedimentary rocks of the Austroalpine, South Alpine and Penninic basement domains are presented, to disentangle the pre-Variscan tectonic ...
The Upper Jurassic Garedu Red Bed Formation of the northern Tabas Block: elucidating Late Cimmerian tectonics in east-Central Iran
(
- International Journal of Earth Sciences
, 2021-02-17)
The Garedu Red Bed Formation (GRBF) of the northern Tabas Block (Central-East Iranian Microcontinent, CEIM) is a lithologically variable, up to 500-m-thick, predominantly continental unit. It rests gradually or unconformably ...
Late Miocene Exhumation of the Western Cordillera, Ecuador, Driven by Increased Coupling Between the Subducting Carnegie Ridge and the South American Continent
(
- Tectonics
, 2023-01-12)
The subduction of bathymetric highs, such as aseismic ridges, leads to far‐reaching changes in the dynamics of subduction zones with increased plate coupling and deformation in the upper plate. Subduction of the submarine ...
Evaluation of transmissivity in a fractured aquifer—the Nyanzari wellfield, BurundiEinschätzung der Transmissivität eines Kluftgrundwasserleiters – das Nyanzari-Brunnenfeld, Burundi
(
- Grundwasser
, 2021-12-08)
Due to population growth, the city of Gitega in the central part of Burundi is lacking drinking water. Therefore, the national urban water supply company decided to expand the Nyanzari wellfield by drilling additional ...
An Extension Strain Type Mohr–Coulomb Criterion
(
- Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering
, 2021-08-20)
Extension fractures are typical for the deformation under low or no confining pressure. They can be explained by a phenomenological extension strain failure criterion. In the past, a simple empirical criterion for fracture ...
