New Jersey experiences earthquakes due to the fault line running through the state. Here is the science behind the cause and ...

GSA Bulletin topics studied this month include the nature and dynamics of China and Tibet; the Dead Sea transform; and volcanism in an extensional basin along the Laurentian Iapetus margin.

Development of the Titus Canyon extensional basin precedes local Farallon slab removal by ~20 m.y., implying that other mechanisms, such as plate boundary stress changes due to decreased ...

The model makes it possible to extract from the sedimentary record those events in the history of an extensional basin that are due solely to the filling of a basin growing in size through time and ...

2021 AGeS awardee Lab: UCONN Basin Analysis & Helium Thermochronology Laboratory Lab Mentors: Julie Fosdick What scientific question (s) does your research address and what motivates this work? My ...

Normal fault systems bounding extensional basins are typically adjoined by a series of subbasins separated by intrabasin highs. The strata within these basins form syndepositional anticlines and ...
