High times on the Tibetan Plateau: Paleoelevation of the Thakkhola graben, Nepal
Timing of surface uplift of the Tibetan Plateau has received much attention because of proposed links between high topography and change in regional and global climate, southern Asian paleoecology, and ocean chemistry (Quade et al., 1989; Edmond, 1992; Prell and Kutzbach, 1992; Raymo and Ruddiman, 1992; Molnar et al., 1993; Derry and France-Lanord, 1996). However, the actual vintage of high ele...
متن کاملPredicting paleoelevation of Tibet and the Himalaya from N18O vs. altitude gradients in meteoric water across the Nepal Himalaya
The N18O value of meteoric water varies with elevation, providing a means to reconstruct paleoelevation if the N18O values of paleowater are known. In this study, we determined the N18O values of water (NOmw) from small tributaries along the Seti River and Kali Gandaki in the Nepal Himalaya. We found that NOmw values decrease with increasing altitude for both transects. NOmw vs. altitude along ...
متن کاملMesozoic basin inversion in Central Alborz, evidence from the evolution of Taleqan-Gajereh-Lar paleograben
This paper presents evidence on Mesozoic inversion of basin bounding faults within the Taleqan-Gajereh-Lar Paleograben (TGLP) in Central Alborz Range. For this purpose, well documented stratigraphy data across the TGLP together with the new acquired structural data on the geometry and kinematics of the paleograben basin bounding faults are utilized. The TGLP has evolved through the Early and Mi...
متن کاملStructural analyses of fault planes using fault slickenlines and calcite e-twins data from the Dasht-e-Arjan graben, SW Iran
Dasht-e-Arjan is a northeast trending graben located 65 km west of Shiraz. It was formed along active segments of the Korrehbas fault, perpendicularly to the Shahnesh in and Salamati anticlines. Oriented sampling from bordering fault planes and striations was carried out to evaluate the relative amounts of paleostress/strain needed to form the graben. Measurements of e-twins and c-axis of calci...
متن کاملMultiple phases of Tertiary extension and synextensional deposi- tion of the Miocene–Pliocene Salt Lake Formation in an evolving supradetachment basin, Malad Range, southeast Idaho, U.S.A
The extensional history of the Malad and Bannock ranges in southeast Idaho and northern Utah involves multiple phases of Tertiary normal faulting and synextensional deposition. Detailed geologic mapping, structural and stratigraphic analyses, and geochronologic data from this study elucidate previously defined deformational events in the region, and define two new extensional episodes. The larg...
