Simple physical arguments, analogue experiments and numerical experiments all suggest
that the internal dynamics of actively deforming collisional mountain ranges are influenced …

Experimental modelling applied to the study of orogenic wedge dynamics has been a
subject of fruitful research for more than 30years, although the technique dates back as far …

The history of the southern central Andes, including the world's second largest plateau and
adjacent intermontane basins and ranges of the Eastern Cordillera and the northern Sierras …

This paper gives an overview of the large-scale tectonic styles encountered in orogens
worldwide. Thin-skinned and thick-skinned tectonics represent two end member styles …

We present a review of the analogue modelling method, which has been used for 200 years,
and continues to be used, to investigate geological phenomena and geodynamic processes …

With its central position between the Tibetan Plateau and the Tian Shan Range, the Tarim
Basin is a key element of the Cenozoic Asian orogenic system. However, a comprehensive …

New apatite fission-track data, paleoelevation estimates from paleobotany, and recently
acquired geological data from the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia document the onset of …

This paper presents the results of a series of scaled analogue models designed to simulate
thrust belt development formed by orthogonal and oblique convergence. The models were …

Duplexes are a common feature in thrust belts at many scales. Their geometries vary
significantly from antiformal stacks with significant forethrusting in the cover (eg southern …

The volume of sediment deposited in the basins around Borneo indicates that at least 6 km
of crust has been removed by erosion during the Neogene. The amount of tectonic uplift …
