Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

The North American Cordilleran Orogen is the result of a two-stage process:(a) Triassic-
Jurassic accretion within Panthalassa forming SAYBIA, a composite ribbon continent, and …

The tilt or fold test in paleomagnetism is used to infer whether paleomagnetic remanence
was acquired before or after tectonic tilting. While several tilt test formulations have been …

Integrated structural-petrographic-magnetic-basin modeling case studies in numerous
foreland fold-and-thrust belts provided key information on the critical parameters and …

ABSTRACT The North American Cordillera experienced major contractional deformation
during the Cretaceous–Paleogene, which is commonly attributed to normal subduction …

Within the Sonora segment to the south, break-off magmatism was also prevalent. Both the
Canadian and Sonoran segments have abundant porphyry copper mineralization …

Chemical remagnetization is a very common phenomenon in sedimentary rocks and
developing a greater understanding of the mechanisms has several benefits. Acquisition of …

" In this well-illustrated book, Hildebrand expands upon his model for the development of the
North American Cordillera detailed in Special paper 457. Starting with an overview of …

Authigenic formation of fine-grained magnetite is responsible for widespread chemical
remagnetization of many carbonate rocks. Authigenic magnetite grains, dominantly in the …

A linear series of Mississippi Valley-type Zn-Pb deposits occurs within deformed and thrust-
faulted Silurian-Devonian carbonates adjacent to the shelf front in the northern Canadian …
