[1] Climate change indirectly alters the distribution of tectonic uplift at active orogens by modifying the action of surface processes, which in turn alters mountain topography. The impact of alpine glaciation on tectonic activity is explored here. The predictions of previous analytical, critical wedge models are compared with the output of a numerical model that explicitly couples rock uplift...

The Kordkanlo Basin, one of the Atrak sub-basins, located in the northeastern of the Ghoochan city, the Khorasan Razavi Province; is situated in Kopet Dagh geologic zone. The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the morphotectonic effects on the drainage network of the basin, using morphometric indicators. In this research, morphometric quantitative indicators of hypsometric integral ...

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...

A continuous GPS array is a very useful tool for monitoring and modeling crustal activity. GPS observation has revealed various unknown aspects of tectonic deformation in Japan and other locations. Quasi-real time data acquisition and dense spatial coverage enable incorporation of GPS data into simulation models for crustal activity forecast, which is similar to data assimilation in weather for...
