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 …

Abstract The Appalachian Basin is a composite, retroarc foreland basin that in many ways is
the “type” foreland basin and the “type area” for the Wilson cycle. Our understanding of the …

The Killingworth dome of south-central Connecticut occurs at the southern end of the
Bronson Hill belt. It is composed of tonalitic and trondhjemitic orthogneisses (Killingworth …

The Ordovician Thetford Mines ophiolite complex (TMOC) formed by boninite-fed seafloor-
spreading, probably in a fore-arc environment. The mantle section is dominated by foliated …

Review of the major post–Middle Ordovician lithotectonic elements of the Appalachian
orogen indicates that the middle to late Paleozoic geologic evolution of the Appalachian …

The geological record is a three-dimensional mosaic of gap-bound rock bodies that, at any
