1. Age progressive volcanism in the Comores Archipelago and northern Madagascar

Creator:: Emerick, Christina M.
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: that can be better understood within a firm framework of plate tectonic processes. Development of a

2. Plate boundary deformation of the Pacific plate : two case studies

Creator:: Leitner, Beate
Abstract:: Two examples of Pacific rim plate boundary deformation are presented. In the first part of the thesis crustal models are derived for the northwestern part of the Vizcaino block in California using marine seismic and gravity data collected by the Mendocino Triple Junction Seismic Experiment. A northwest-southeast trending kink in...

3. Late Neogene tectonics of the mouth of the Gulf of California

Creator:: Ness, Gordon Everett
Abstract:: Anomaly timescales for the last 90 million years, derived from marine magnetic profiles and published prior to mid-1979, are summarized, illustrated for comparison, and critically reviewed. A revised timescale is constructed using calibration points which fix the ages of anomalies 2.3', 5.5, 24, and 29. An equation is presented for...

4. Changing tectonic regimes in the southern Salinian block : extension, strike-slip faulting, compression and rotation in the Cuyama Valley, California

Creator:: Ellis, Barbara Jean
Abstract:: During the Cenozoic, tectonics in the Cuyama basin of the southeastern Salinian block changed from extension to strike-slip faulting to compression and rotation. During the Oligocene-early Miocene, the Cuyama basin was adjacent to the southern Mojave region and part of that extensional tectonic regime. Many present-day reverse faults have an...

5. Diffuse deformation patterns along the North American plate boundary zone, offshore western United States

Creator:: Chaytor, Jason D.
Abstract:: Plate boundaries are commonly regions of complex, diffuse deformation with the motion across the boundary accommodated by numerous structural systems, rather than being narrow, discrete zones of deformation. One such boundary occurs where the North American plate makes contact with Juan de Fuca, Gorda, and Pacific plates along the west...

6. Investigating Plate Boundaries through New High-Resolution Bathymetry and Seismic Data; 2 Case Studies from the Cascadia Subduction Zone and San Andreas Fault

Creator:: Beeson, Jeffrey Watson
Abstract:: Contiential margins on plate boundaries are complex systems with morphologies and characteristics dictated by the interplay of sediment deposition and erosion, tectonic faulting, folding, and strong ground motion generating mass wasting events. With ever increasing advances in high-resolution remote sensing techniques these systems are increasingly becoming illuminated. A ~120 km...

7. Convergence rates across the Ventura Basin, California

Creator:: Huftile, Gary J.
Abstract:: Four cross sections are balanced and retrodeformed to 250±50 ka and 975±75 ka to yield crustal shortening amounts and rates for the western Transverse Ranges of California. The cross sections compare the shortening that occurs along a transfer zone in which displacement is transferred eastward from a surface reverse fault...
