Reconstructing northern Alaska : crustal-scale evolution of the central Brooks Range

Creator:

Williams, Jonathan D.

Abstract:

Kinematic tectonic models constrained by Airy isostatic equilibrium demonstrate the crustal-scale evolution of the Brooks Range during ocean basin closure, arc-continent collision, and exhumation of the orogen. The Bouguer gravity anomaly low that develops across the orogen is related by wavelength to the amount of shortening during collision, and by...
