Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Although large, low‐angle normal faults in the continental crust are widely recognized,
doubts persist that they either initiate or slip at shallow dips (< 30°), because (1) global …

We present geological and morphological observations at different scales to constrain rates
of faulting and the distribution of deformation in the seismically active Aegean region. We …

A plane strain model for a fault is presented that takes into account the inelastic deformation
involved in fault growth. The model requires that the stresses at the tip of the fault never …

It has been proposed that Jupiter's satellite Europa currently possesses a global subsurface
ocean of liquid water. Galileo gravity data verify that the satellite is differentiated into an …

Marine rift basins represent a continuum ranging from mixed nonmarine/marine through
shallow marine to deep marine, or from partly emergent through partly submergent to …

We suggest that the uplift of rift flanks results from mechanical unloading of the lithosphere
during extension and consequent isostatic rebound. This mechanism is presented as an …

The processes of erosion and deposition must be included in foreland basin models to
predict correctly basin geometry and stratigraphy. We present a synthetic stratigraphic model …

A host of information is now available regarding the geological and thermal structure as well
as deformation rate across the Himalaya of central Nepal. These data are reconciled in a …

Between 1939 and 1999 the North Anatolian fault (NAF) experienced a westward
progression of eight large earthquakes over 800 km of its morphological trace. The 2000‐km …
