Abstract We report remote sensing evidence and reconnaissance field observations for an actively evolving transpressional duplex 150 km north of Tibet, in the southern Beishan region western China. analyze Landsat-8, Google Earth SRTM-30 data to reveal active fault traces, kinematics, offset contacts landforms, overall geometry area limited recorded seismicity compared surrounding regions. Eigh...

Introduction: Most major geologic structures on Mars are related to a major volcanic province (Tharsis, Elysium) or a large impact basin. It is of interest then to identify and study tectonic features not attributable to known volcanic provinces or impact basins. Located in the central Terra Cimmeria region of the Southern Highlands of Mars is a set of linear scarps not clearly associated with ...

1 Lobate scarps, thought to be the surface expression of large thrust faults, are the 2 most spectacular contractional tectonic features visible on Mercury. Most lobate scarps 3 follow a general and relatively simple pattern, with a roughly arcuate or linear form in plan 4 view, and an asymmetric cross section characterized by a steeply rising scarp face and a 5 gently declining back scarp. In ...

WinGeol/SedTec is a software package which simulates erosion and deposition in dependency of topography, fault movements, lithological properties and sea level. Sediment transport such as mass and suspension flows are induced by elevation or concentration differences between neighbouring cells. Grain size reduction during sediment transport is included into the model. The spatial distribution o...

The northern piedmont of the western Kunlun mountains (Xinjiang, China) is marked at its easternmost extremity, south of the Hotan-Qira oases, by a set of normal faults trending N50E for nearly 70 km. Conspicuous on Landsat and SPOT images, these faults follow the southeastern border of a deep flexural basin and may be related to the subsidence of the Tarim platform loaded by the western Kunlun...

This paper tackles a new problem called Stochastic Capacitated Arc Routing Problem (SCARP), derived from the CARP by randomizing the demands. It is raised by applications like urban waste collection, in which the amount on each arc is a random variable. In that case, the trips computed by any algorithm based on estimated demands can be deeply affected on the field, due to additional moves to th...

Korea has been recognized as an earthquake-safe zone, but over recent decades, several earthquakes, at a medium scale or higher, have occurred in succession and around the major fault zones, hence there is need for studying active faults to mitigate earthquake risks. In Korea, research on challenging owing urbanization, high precipitation, erosion rates, relatively low activity compared countri...

Mars' surface exhibits abundant topographic expressions of large thrust fault-related folds that have been attributed to global planetary contraction. Morphometric analyses such structures provide insight into their growth history. With THEMIS imagery and HRSC–MOLA data, 49 thrusts with lengths between 35 544 km were mapped across surface. Assuming planar fault geometries dips 30°, the average ...

Abstract On Mars, basins formed by tectonic processes are rare and mostly have unconstrained subsidence histories. One method for understanding this record of is through associated alluvial fans, which sourced from uplifted areas accumulate in downthrown basins. The source, morphology, superposition fan deposits can be used to reconstruct fault kinematics, the relative timing accommodation spac...
