2015 Gsa International Distinguished Lecturer Tours Key Locations In Central And South America, Lisa L. Ely
2015 Gsa International Distinguished Lecturer Tours Key Locations In Central And South America, Lisa L. Ely
Geological Sciences Faculty Scholarship
As the International Lecturer from North America, I visited 11 destinations in Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. The tour was designed to include locations where the topic of my presentation, “Following in the Footsteps of Darwin:
Combining Geological and Historical Evidence to Assess Earthquakes and Tsunami Hazards,” would have direct relevance.
Penrose Conference Report: Neotectonics Of Arc-Continent Collision, Paul Mann, Carlos Vargas, Caroline Whitehill
Penrose Conference Report: Neotectonics Of Arc-Continent Collision, Paul Mann, Carlos Vargas, Caroline Whitehill
Geological Sciences Faculty Scholarship
Collisions of arcs with continents are some of the most significant tectonic processes on Earth, leading to crustal accretion, continental growth, formation of sedimentary basins, large areas of regional uplift and deformation, complex interactions between continuous and torn subducted slabs and the surrounding mantle, and large regions of large earthquakes and seismic, volcanic, and landslide hazards that can threaten the lives of millions.
The objective of this conference was to bring together an international group of scientists to discuss the neotectonics and seismic hazards of shallow slab subduction in areas of arc-continent collisions.
Penrose Conference Report: Kinematics And Geodynamics Of Intraplate Dextral Shear In Eastern California And Western Nevada, Jeffrey Lee, Daniel Stockli, Christopher Henry, Timothy Dixon
Penrose Conference Report: Kinematics And Geodynamics Of Intraplate Dextral Shear In Eastern California And Western Nevada, Jeffrey Lee, Daniel Stockli, Christopher Henry, Timothy Dixon
Geological Sciences Faculty Scholarship
This conference provided a forum to discuss the range of geological and geophysical datasets from the eastern California shear zone (ECSZ) and Walker Lane belt (WLB) that bear on how intraplate deformation is accommodated and how to integrate the data into a comprehensive, spatially and kinematically coherent view of intraplate deformation through time.
