Landscapes respond to climate, tectonic motions and sea level, but this response is mediated by sediment transport. Understanding transmission of environmental signals is crucial for predicting landscape response to climate change, and interpreting paleo-climate and tectonics from stratigraphy. Here we propose that sediment transport can act as a nonlinear filter that completely destroys (“shre...

In two earlier papers (Wallace et al., 1983, 1985), we discussed the evidence for tectonic release from underground nuclear explosions on Pahute Mesa at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) as observed in long-period body waves. It has been shown for some time that the nonisotropic component of the surface waves from most of these events could be explained by an equivalent double-couple source; namely st...

manipulate the sources or their information, such as the location of their files on a haed drive or the emails in their in-boxes. End-user programming is emerging as a crucial instrument in the daily informationprocessing struggle [8]. Such programming allows customized personal information processing. But few end users have the background, motivation, or time to use traditional programming app...

Sedimentologic, stratigraphic, and geochronologic data from strata of early Mesozoic age in the central Mojave block elucidate the paleogeographic and tectonic evolution of the magmatic arc in the southern U.S. Cordillera. A sequence of calcareous siltstone, volcaniclastic conglomerate, tuff, and quartzose sandstone records the transition from shallow-marine rocks of the Fairview Valley Formati...

Arc continent collision is one of the most fundamental tectonic processes for the formation of new land, and the preservation on land of fragments of oceanic lithosphere (ophiolites). However, the tectonic evolution of arc continent collision is commonly over-simplified in everything from introductory textbooks to complex tectonic models. Major unresolved issues include the response of the fore...
