Application of remote sensing techniques to determine the kinematics of the Bull Lake Creek landslide, Wind River Mountains, Wyoming
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Landslides are one of many natural hazards that impact human settlements. On average, each year landslides account for billions of dollars of property damage and claim thousands of lives around the world. Landslides are ... -
Constraining the timing of graben initiation in the central Afar using fluvial knickpoint erosion and terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The Afar region constitutes the diffuse ridge-ridge-ridge triple junction adjoining the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Main Ethiopian Rifts. Extension in ... -
Earthquake interaction along the Sultandagi-Aksehir fault based on InSar and coulomb stress modeling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)The evolution of geologic structures along active faults is influenced by crustal deformation associated with several repetitions of the earthquake cycle, in addition to surficial processes accompanying geologic time. This ... -
Entrainment and transport of coarse stream bed material in a fluviokarst watershed, south-central Missouri : a tracer particle study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The midcontinent of the U.S. is karstified and contains well developed subsurface drainage systems covered by beds of coarse-grained, poorly sorted sediments, resembling those in upland surface streams. Within Tumbling ... -
Fault segmentation and paleoseismicity along the North Wutaishan Fault of the Shanxi Graben System, China
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)The Shanxi Graben System has been the location of large, devastating intraplate earthquakes in the past, making it an ideal location for the study of the temporal recurrence of intracontinental earthquakes. This study ... -
GPS measurements of present day crustal deformation within the Lebanese Restraining Bend along the Dead Sea Transform
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)The Lebanese restraining bend is a 200 km long bend with a left lateral sense of slip located along the Dead Sea fault system (DSFS) between 33.2 and 34.6 degrees north latitude. The DSFS is a transform plate boundary fault ... -
Kinematic analysis of the Debeque Landslide using radar interferometry and change-detection photogrammetry, Mesa County, CO
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The Debeque Landslide is an active landslide impacting I-70 in Western Colorado that is the result of displacement along the southern wall of an ... -
Neotectonic and geophysical investigation into the active growth of the Avawatz Mountain Front, California
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The Avawatz Mountains are an actively growing range near the intersection of the Garlock and southern Death Valley Fault Zones in eastern California. ... -
Present-day and late Quaternary crustal deformation along the southern Dead Sea Fault System, Jordan
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Theoretical models of the earthquake cycle predict that crustal rheology may lead to differences between short-term crustal deformation rates (decadal time scales) and long-term fault slip rates (Holocene to late Pleistocene ... -
Quaternary deformation along the north Wutaishan fault in the Shanxi Rift system, China
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014) -
Recent faulting and active shortening of the Middle Atlas Mountains, Morocco, within the diffuse African-Eurasian plate boundary
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)The intracontinental Atlas Mountains of northwest Africa are prominent tectonic elements in the broader, diffuse plate boundary zone between the converging African and Eurasian plates. This study focuses on constraining ... -
A study of Quaternary active tectonics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study presents first results on the topographic survey and shallow seismic reflection profile to assess Quaternary faulting in the northwestern ...
