Cosmic ray exposure dates (based on in situ–produced 10Be), in combination with measured heights of fault scarps that cut three abandoned fans, imply a slip rate of less than ~2 mm/yr on the bounding thrust fault along a segment of the southern flank of the Tien Shan of central Asia. This rate, somewhat lower than those for the segment farther west and for the northern margin of the belt, impli...

Abstract We describe the soils, stratigraphy, distribution and ages of alluvial fans in North Carolina Piedmont to understand factors contributing their formation this low relief, humid‐temperate setting. find that those (i.e., source basin area rock type; climate) parallel, but do not precisely mimic arid semi‐arid climate fans. Digital elevation model (DEM) field observations revealed about 2...

The Muğla Polje (SW Turkey), which formed as a result of the Pleistocene activity Fault, is an example rift basin with two alluvial fans (the Fan, 3.33 km2 and Düğerek 1.26 km2). This study focuses on development these through evaluation aerial photos, Google-Earth images, measurements sedimentary sections, lithological examinations, mineralogical discriminations, in situ observations. Fracture...

The history of rivers on Mars is an important constraint Martian climate evolution. timing relatively young, alluvial fan-forming especially important, as Mars' Amazonian atmosphere thought to have been too thin consistently support surface liquid water. Previous regional studies suggested that fans formed primarily between the Early Hesperian and Amazonian. In this study, we describe how a com...

Abstract Endorheic basin brines are of economic significance as sources boron, iodine, magnesium, potassium, sodium sulfate, carbonate, and tungsten, they a major source the critical metal lithium. Although evaporation is primary hypersalinization driver for evaporative water bodies, recent investigations have proposed more novel mechanisms some subsurface brine. This investigation explores sha...
