Changes in the physical landscape of SE Raasay at end last Quaternary glaciation are examined. The area is marked by a major fault system defining Beinn na Leac Fault Block, and field survey shows this to comprise rollover anticline SW, with extensional movement towards NE along an oblique transfer fault, Main Fault. was reactivated after Last Glacial Maximum. Survey distinctive ridge detached ...

Understanding the location and nature of Quaternary active crustal faults is critical to reduce both impact fault rupture strong ground motions hazards (when these causing earthquakes). It also important for understanding how where deformation related plate tectonics accommodated along geological structures (oftentimes folds). In Chile, work on in upper crust (neotectonics or earthquake geology...

Using E-W and vertical deformation-rate maps derived from radar interferometric time-series, we analyze the deformation field of an entire orogenic segment, that is, Tajik depression its adjoining mountain belts, Tian Shan, Pamir, Hindu Kush. The data-base consists 900+ scenes acquired over 2.0–4.5 years global navigation satellite system measurements. recent, supra-regional kinematics is visua...
