Using small, temporary seismic networks for investigating tectonic deformation: Brittle deformation and evidence for strike-slip faulting in Bhutan
(2007-07)
We processed data from a small, five-station temporary seismic network deployed from January 2002 until March 2003 within the Kingdom of Bhutan. We detected, associated, and located approximately 2,100 teleseismic, regional, ...
New insight into the South Tibetan detachment system: Not a single progressive deformation
(2012-03)
Low-angle normal faults (LANF), typically regarded as accommodating crustal or lithospheric extension, may also form during lithospheric shortening. The best-studied system of syn-contractional LANFs is the South Tibetan ...
Probing the depths of the India-Asia collision: U-Th-Pb monazite chronology of granulites from NW Bhutan
(2011-03)
Rocks metamorphosed to high temperatures and/or high pressures are rare across the Himalayan orogen, where peak metamorphic conditions recorded in the exposed metamorphic core, the Greater Himalayan Sequence (GHS), are ...
An insight into the breakup of Gondwana: Identifying events through low-temperature thermochronology from the basement rocks of Madagascar
(2004-06)
Fission track analysis was applied to the Precambrian suites of Madagascar in order to identify the lower-temperature cooling histories and their relationships to the Phanerozoic events that affected the island. Apatite ...
Experimental Melting of Biotite Plus Plagioclase Plus Quartz Plus Or Minus Muscovite Assemblages and Implications for Crustal Melting
(1995-08)
In order to understand the role of mica-rich rocks as a source of granite magmas, a series of melting experiments was performed on two different starting materials. The first composition is a model biotite gneiss consisting ...
