This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the though that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemi nation. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 37 (thesis year 1992) a total of 12,549 thesis titles from 25 Canadian and 153 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 37 reports theses submitted in 1992, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Case studies of detachment faults focuses on specific examples of both continental and oceanic detachments and associated lithology. Detachments appear to be quite common to the Basin and Range province occurring before, during, and after rifting style horst and graben formation. Dike emplacement, footwall rotation, and high angle normal faulting including mineralization appears to be indicators that detachment faulting occurred. In oceanic ridge systems, metamorphic core complexing, faulting, and rotation appears to occur similar to continental detachments. Chapter 1 describes dike emplacement and footwall rotation in the Californian Whipple Mountains. Chapter 2 presents mineralization associated with detachments in the Sacramento Mountains of California. Chapter 3 discusses two stage development of Death Valley continuing with Chapter 4 tectonic reorganization of Death Valley. Chapter 5 deviates from North America detachment to South Norway's Caledonian detachments. Chapter 6 begins oceanic core complex discussion of the Mid-Cayman Spreading Center. Chapter 7 presents gabbroic crust development at a slow spreading ridge center. Chapter 8 ends the book with strain localization at the Southwest Indian Ridge.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Andes Mountains are a culmination of smaller mountain ranges that form the longest mountain chain in the world, accommodating convergence and the subduction of the Nazca Plate under the South American Plate since the Late Jurassic. Subduction along the Andean margin varies from normal-dipping to flat-slab subduction, with flat-slab segments commonly characterized by crustal thicknesses upwards of ~70 km. The Peruvian segment is of particular interest, as magmatic arcs in this region show an eastward younging trend and active extension along the western margin of the youngest plutonic feature, the Cordillera Blanca batholith. Extension along this margin is limited to high elevations and occurs along an active low-angle normal detachment fault striking parallel to the trend of the ~200-km-long Cordillera Blanca mountain range, which hosts numerous peaks > 6000 m. The detachment exhumes a mylonitic shear zone of deformed batholith rocks. Tectonic fabrics suggest that 1) extension along the fault is parallel to the direction of plate convergence and regional crustal shortening, and 2) the shear zone crossed the brittle-ductile transition while it was actively deforming during exhumation. These conditions make for a unique setting in which to study the mid-crustal brittle-ductile-transition, and strain localization in a syn-convergent extensional setting where the regional principal stresses are known. This project characterizes deformation of the exhumed shear zone using detailed kinematic analyses, deformation temperature analyses, paleopiezometry, and geochemistry. From this work, a crustal strength profiles for the Cordillera Blanca has been constructed, providing a model for the rheologic evolution of this particular region and contributing to the structural community's understanding of the rheologic conditions that allow for convergence-parallel extension in the mid-crust.
Download or read book Ancient Landscapes of Western North America written by Ronald C. Blakey and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allow yourself to be taken back into deep geologic time when strange creatures roamed the Earth and Western North America looked completely unlike the modern landscape. Volcanic islands stretched from Mexico to Alaska, most of the Pacific Rim didn’t exist yet, at least not as widespread dry land; terranes drifted from across the Pacific to dock on Western Americas’ shores creating mountains and more volcanic activity. Landscapes were transposed north or south by thousands of kilometers along huge fault systems. Follow these events through paleogeographic maps that look like satellite views of ancient Earth. Accompanying text takes the reader into the science behind these maps and the geologic history that they portray. The maps and text unfold the complex geologic history of the region as never seen before. Winner of the 2021 John D. Haun Landmark Publication Award, AAPG-Rocky Mountain Section

This book was released on 2002 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Cont.) Furthermore, these models indicate that Mode E faults formed at the inside-corner of a ridge-transform intersection will experience preferential growth relative to faults formed at the conjugate outside-corner due to their proximity to the weak transform zone. Finally, the last part of this thesis (Ch. 6) presents a new method to quantify the relationship between the seismic velocity and composition of igneous rocks. A direct relationship is derived to relate Vp to major element composition and typical velocity-depth profiles are used to calculate compositional bounds for the lower continental, margin, and oceanic crust.

Book excerpt: "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 Cordilleran geology he goes on to provide an in depth look at how the Rubian ribbon continent was assembled. He integrates the complex geology of the Cordillera into an actualistic model involving arc magmatism, arc-continent collision, slab failure magmatism, and transcurrent motion in both Rubia and the western North American margin. While much of the focus is on the assembly of the Rubian ribbon continent, Hildebrand explores its interactions with North America during the Sevier and Laramide events and concludes that North America was the lower plate in both"--Provided by publisher.
