Uplift rates and vertical fault displacements derived from marine terraces, Crete, Greece
Sean Gallen, Colorado State University
Introduction: Long-lived and continuing uplift and pervasive extensional faulting are a testament to the active tectonics of the island of Crete, located in the eastern Mediterranean (Figure 1). Large earthquakes ...

Fluvial geomorphology in a tank - The scientific value of physical experiments
Nikki Strong, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
The beauty and utility of experiments is to illuminate the fundamental processes that drive the evolution of natural systems. Experiments help us build intuition for processes that otherwise might be hard to ...

Late Quaternary Tectonics and Basin Inversion: a case from the Lower Narmada valley, India
Laxman Chamyal
The Indian Plate is currently moving northeast at 5 cm/yr (2 in/yr), while the Eurasian Plate is moving northeast at only 2 cm/yr (0.8 in/yr). This is causing the Eurasian Plate to deform, and the Indian Plate to ...

Beneath the surface of coastal lowlands: archives of mid- to late-Holocene subduction zone earthquakes
Harvey Kelsey, Humboldt State University
Introduction Coastal lowland marshes (Figure 1) are more than just muddy shorelines where your feet get stuck as you try to walk around. Geologically, coastal marshes are low-energy settings where fine-grained ...

Establishing cave exposure using evidence from river deposits: a case study from Liang Bua, Indonesia
Kira Westaway
Liang Bua, in western Flores, Indonesia (Figure 1) is a large limestone chamber with a wide entrance and a cathedral-like atmosphere. It's name, meaning 'cool cave' explains its attraction as an ...
