Europa, Jupiter's fourth-largest moon, has an anomalously young surface age (~40–90 million years old), and an extensively fractured surface. Conventional models for tectonic features on Europa have invoked global-scale tidal forcings (e.g., diurnal forcing, obliquity, nonsynchr…
Metamorphic core complexes of the North American Cordillera record episodes of Mesozoic burial followed by high magnitude crustal extension. This dissertation combines field investigation and potassium feldspar 40Ar/39Ar thermal modeling at a classic cordilleran metamorphic core…
This book consolidates the latest research on the Hadean Eon - the first 500 million years of Earth history - which has permitted hypotheses of early Earth evolution to be tested, including geophysical models that include the possibility of plate tectonic-like behavior. These ne…

High-resolution seafloor survey and applications
by Wu, Ziyin, Yang, Fanlin, Tang, Yong
HIGH-RESOLUTION SEAFLOOR SURVEY AND APPLICATIONS
This book focuses on the survey technology, post-processing technology, mapping technology and scientific application of the submarine topography and geomorphology in detail. High-resolution submarine geomorphology is a frontier branch of Marine Geology and marine surveying and …
Exposure of tilted Eocene-Oligocene volcanic and sedimentary units unconformably overlying folded and thrusted Mesozoic rocks in the southern Indio Mountains provide an important geologic record of the transition from Laramide contraction to Rio Grande rift extension. Detailed g…
