The Mexican orogen is the expression in Mexico of the Cordilleran orogenic system. The
orogen extends the length of Mexico, a distance of 2000 km from the state of Sonora in the …

Our understanding of folds and folding builds on detailed geometrical analysis. Proper
description of folds and their relation to other structures such as fractures, cleavage and …

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 …

Damage zones of different fault types are investigated in siliciclastics (Utah, USA),
carbonates (Majella Mountain, Italy) and metamorphic rocks (western Norway). The study …

Australia boasts arguably the richest Late Neogene to Quaternary faulting record in stable

Sedimentary rocks of the Paradox Basin of the Colorado Plateau (southwestern USA) record
widespread manifestations of paleo–fluid flow and fluid-rock reactions including Cu, UV, and …

The Cenozoic Colorado Plateau physiographic province overlies multiple Precambrian
