[1] Deformed fluvial terraces preserved over active thrust-related folds record the kinematics of folding as fault slip accumulates on the underlying thrust. In the Mackenzie Basin of southern New Zealand, the kinematics revealed by folded fluvial terraces along the active Ostler and Irishman Creek fault zones are inconsistent with traditional models for thrust-related folding in which spatiall...

Field and laboratory analyses of soils on 11 well-dated fluvisil terraces spanning the past 0.5 m.y. demonstrate that a threshold governs changes in several morphological and chemical characteristics of increasingly older soils. Correlations with respect to time among iron species, soil morphology, and soil silt and clay demonstrate that the chronosequence at Cajon Pass reflects primarily an ev...

We construct a nonsparse transfer matrix (T-matrix) for a lattice gas model of monomers adsorbed on planar and nanotube surfaces of arbitrary geometry. The model can accommodate any number of higher-order pairwise adsorbate-adsorbate interactions. The technique is sufficiently general for application to nonequivalent adsorption sites and coadsorption of two or more monomer species. The T-matric...

WL iLLiAM B. BULL AND ALAN F. Cooper (1) identify as marine terrace remnants 18 "notches" or steps at altitudes up to 1700 m on the ridge crests southeast of the Alpine fault, New Zealand. They infer late Quatemary uplift rates on this upthrown side of the fault at three study areas. Their conclusions are based on (i) morphology ofthe steps, which are said to resemble eroded marine cliffs and s...
