Crustal subduction and the exhumation of (ultra)high-pressure terranes: contrasting modes with examples from the Alps and Caledonides
(2013-08-19)The widespread recognition of (ultra)high-pressure ((U)HP) metamorphic rocks in orogens worldwide suggests that subduction and exhumation of crustal rocks from mantle depths are normal processes at convergent plate margins. ... -
IMPROVED PREDICTION OF THE EFFECTS OF ANTHROPOGENIC STRESSORS IN THE GULF OF MEXICO THROUGH REGIONAL-SCALE NUMERICAL MODELING AND DATA ASSIMILATION
The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is of great ecological and socio-economic importance; however, its ecosystems are increasingly stressed by anthropogenic pressures. Two of the most serious are excessive nutrient inputs from land ... -
Numerical Modeling of Salt Tectonics at Rifted Continental Margins
This thesis applies finite element numerical modeling to a range of projects investigating salt tectonics at rifted continental margins. Both two-dimensional and fully three-dimensional models are used. The first project ...
