The geomorphology of the western sector of the Mid-Channel Anticline (MCA), Santa Barbara, southern California suggests the actively growing fold is laterally propagating to the west. The presence of fold scarps and cross faults that segment the structure suggests that buried faults that are producing the folding are present at shallow depths. The summit area of the anticline at the Last Glacia...

Article history: Received 7 August 2015 Received in revised form 21 January 2016 Accepted 22 January 2016 Available online 23 January 2016 In order to better understand the activity of the Akşehir normal fault in SW Turkey and the associated seismic hazard, we investigated the tectonic geomorphology of a 60-km stretch of the 100-km-long Akşehir fault block. The fault can be separated into seven...

This volume presents a series of papers on the geomorphology, sedimentology and dynamics of alluvial fans, selected from those presented at the 'Alluvial Fans' Conference held in Sorbas, SE Spain in June 2003. The conference was sponsored primarily by the British Geomorphological Research Group and the British Sedimentological Research Group, both organizations affiliated to the Geological Soci...

study area is located in west of iran with relatively rough topography. lithologic units in the region belong from jurassic and cretaccous till recent era. the study area of the alvand mountain region is related to the tectonic zone of the sanandaj-sirjan region and the area dominant neo-tectonic regime appears to be compressional-extensional type. one of the identification tools to find out th...

We use Quaternary stratigraphy to reconstruct landscape evolution and measure tectonic deformation of the Olympic Mountains section of the Pacifi c Northwest Coast Range. An important motivation for understanding orogenesis here, and throughout the Coast Range, is the concern about the relationship of active deformation to seismic hazards associated with the Cascadia subduction zone. There is a...
