Sedimentation and tectonics in the Tertiary Katawaz Basin, NW Pakistan : a basin analysis approach

Creator:

Qayyum, Mazhar

Abstract:

This multidisciplinary study integrates remote sensing, stratigraphy, siliciclastic and carbonate sedimentology, tectonics, and petrography of the Nisai, Khojak and Sharankar Formations to reveal the Paleogene depositional, diagenetic and deformational history of the Katawaz Basin. Study of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) digital data shows that maximum discrimination of different rocks is...
