The thin-skin Sevier and thick-skin Laramide belts of the North American Cordillera provide
a long-term record of the interrelations between evolving styles of mountain building and …

How deep mantle processes affected plate interactions and the dynamics of deformation on
both sides of the Paleo-Pacific has been a first order scientific challenge. The ubiquitous …

Faults have complicated shapes. Non-planarity of faults can be caused by variations in
failure modes, which in turn are dictated by mechanical stratigraphy interacting with the …

The Laramide foreland belt comprises a broad region of thick-skinned, contractional
deformation characterized by an anastomosing network of basement-cored arches and …

One hypothesis for the origin of the Grand Canyon is that a broad Hopi Lake, of which
lakebeds of the Miocene Bidahochi Formation are a vestigial record, ponded to a depth …

Long‐and short‐term strain variations along the Australian‐Pacific plate boundary through
the South Island of New Zealand, including a 300% increase in orogen width, coexistence of …

The geological record and seismic tomography together contain multiple examples of
mantle plumes and subducting oceanic slabs interacting, however consequences of these …

Growth faults and synorogenic sedimentary strata preserved in Upper Cretaceous units on
the margin of the Kaiparowits Basin in southern Utah pinpoint the timing of onset of the …

Laramide tectonic models are testable with spatiotemporal constraints. The Colorado
Plateau portion of the orogen, however, lacks detailed information on deformation timing …

Integrated structural, anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS), and paleomagnetic
analyses of sedimentary cover rocks along variably oriented major faults and en echelon …
