The structure of the southwestern branch Alpine orogen is affected by extensive Late Triassic evaporites. These evaporites have been involved in polyphased salt tectonics since early Liassic, coeval with Tethyan rifting, and are décollement level for thrusts external parts during orogeny. role this arc re-evaluated order to determine relative importance deformation related motion respect main c...

Balanced regional cross sections based on surface, seismic, and subsurface data show that the thin-skinned fold-and-thrust belt in Rocky Mountain Foothills of Kakwa area central Canadian Rockies consists a lower buried thrust developed Paleozoic Triassic strata an upper exposed faulted fold Jurassic to Cretaceous strata. Changes wavelength, amplitude, geometry with stratigraphic level indicate ...

Abstract The interpretation of seismotectonic processes within the uppermost few kilometers Earth’s crust has proven challenging due to often significant uncertainties in hypocenter locations and focal mechanisms shallow seismicity. Here, we revisit seismic sequence Saint-Ursanne March April 2000 apply advanced seismological analyses reduce these uncertainties. sequence, consisting five earthqu...
