Cyclicity of Intra-arc Deformation, Crustal Thickening and Strain Rates: Implications for Arc Tempos in the Mesozoic Sierra Nevada, California part of Structural Geology and Tectonics:2014 Structure and Tectonics Forum Abstracts
This academic abstract page presents geological research on the cyclicity of intra-arc deformation, crustal thickening, and strain rates in the Mesozoic Sierra Nevada Arc, California, proposing a link between pulsed deformation cycles and magmatic flare-ups through downward crustal material transfer and viscosity-controlled strain partitioning.
