Present-day and late Quaternary crustal deformation along the southern Dead Sea Fault System, Jordan
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
strike, ranging from 9 ± 3 km and 16 ± 6 km along the Wadi Araba and Jordan Valley faults, respectively. Previously published geologic slip rates range from 2-20 mm/yr. For a more robust comparison of short-term and long-term slip rates, this study re...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 study focuses...
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 ...
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 ...
