Assessing fault activity in regions lacking Quaternary sedimentary constraints remains a global challenge. In this study, we used channel slope distribution to examine variations rock uplift along faults. By comparing steepness with published low-temperature thermochronology and paleo-seismic data, identified deformation changes both perpendicular the Longmen Shan at various time scales. Our da...

The Quchan fault is located in Quchan - Shirvan area which is a part of Chenaran- Bojnourd plain in Kopeh-Dagh zone, NE Iran. The Quchan active fault with northwest – southeast trending is one of the most important strike-slip faults in the area which its activity led to the numerous historical and instrumental earthquakes. The Neo-tectonic activities of this fault are investigated by the drain...

introduction iran forms a relatively compact zone of active continental deformation resulted from the northward collision of arabia with eurasia during late cenozoic times, which is continuing to the present-day at a rate of 25 mm/yrs (from gps data). evidences of active tectonic in different parts of iran, has been studied and identified. the arid climate, low rates of erosion, and minimal veg...

[1] The Vienna Basin at the transition between the Alpine and Carpathian belt hosts a number of large Pleistocene sub-basins forming along an active continental scale strike-slip fault (Vienna Basin strike-slip fault). We utilize first-order derivatives from industrial Bouguer gravity data to unravel the impacts of Pleistocene kinematics on the Vienna Basin and to compensate for the lack of nea...

This paper examines the relationship between Australian and world strike activity between 1960 and 1998. Appropriate indices are constructed for which evidence of a long-run equilibrium relation is found between Australian and world strike activity. The evidence suggests Australian and world strike rate indices are cointegrated with a breakpoint in that relation occurring sometime in the very l...

Abstract Brittle structures identified within the largest karstic cave of Sudetes (the Niedźwiedzia Cave) were studied to reconstruct paleostress driving post-Variscan tectonic activity in NE Bohemian Massif. Individual fault population datasets, including local strike and dip planes, striations, Riedel shear, enabled us discuss orientation principal stresses tensor. The (meso) fault-slip data ...

The Gulf of Cadiz Contourite Depositional System (GCCS) developed due to the interaction Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) with middle continental slope SW Iberian margin. GCCS evolved in a complex tectonic setting within foreland Betic Orogeny and near Nubia-Eurasia plate boundary. This study used tectonostratigraphic analysis an extensive 2D multichannel seismic reflection dataset investigate...

The Lut block in eastern Iran is a micro-continental block within the convergent orogen between the Arabian, Eurasian and Indian plates. Large areas of the north-central, eastern, and western Lut block are covered by volcanic rocks of Paleogene, Neogene and Quaternary age.  Peak volcanic activity took place in the north-central part of the Lut block during the Eocene, and then dramatically decr...

Understanding the location and nature of Quaternary active crustal faults is critical to reduction both fault rupture strong ground motions hazards in built environments. Recent work along San Ramón Fault (SRF) demonstrates that seismic sources are important within Santiago Metropolitan region Chile. In this paper, we present evidence a second likely (the El Arrayán Fault, EAF) runs through nor...
