Lithospheric and upper mantle structure beneath northern Morocco and central Syria
(Cornell University, 1995)Northern Morocco and central Syria accommodate two of the most significant intraplate mountain belts on earth: the Atlas Mountains (High and Middle) and the Palmyride mountains, respectively. In contrast to interplate ... -
Seismicity and active tectonics of the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau
(Cornell University, 1984)Available geophysical and geological data are analyzed with additional new data to further the understanding of the fundamental tectonic processes involved in the Himalayan-Tibetan continental collision zone. Seismicity ... -
Late Cenozoic tectonics of the Middle Atlas Mountains, Morocco: Continental deformation in the diffuse western Mediterranean plate boundary
(Cornell University, 1999)The Atlas Mountains of North Africa, located in the African foreland of the Alpine mountain belts, comprise a 2,000 km long Cenozoic mountain chain whose development was guided by older Mesozoic rift structures. This ... -
Balanced cross sections, seismic stratigraphy, and structural interpretation of the intracontinental Palmyride fold belt, Syria
(Cornell University, 1991)The Palmyride fold belt in central Syria is the result of Late Mesozoic and Cenozoic inversion of a Late Paleozoic and Mesozoic intraplate trough located within the northern Arabian platform. Detailed analysis of available ... -
Crustal evolution of the northern Arabian Platform beneath the Syrian Arab Republic
(Cornell University, 1991)Newly released geological and geophysical data from the Syrian Arab Republic are used to document the geological history of the northern Arabian platform in the Middle East. The primary observation of this synthesis is the ... -
Lithospheric structure of the western United States and the Tibetan Plateau: Implications on their mechanism of uplift
(Cornell University, 1991)This dissertation seeks to determine the upper mantle structure and the mechanisms responsible for the Cenozoic uplift of the high terranes located near plate boundaries: the Tibetan Plateau and western North America. The ... -
Tectonic evolution of the Atlas Mountains, North Africa
(Cornell University, 1998)The Atlas Mountains of North Africa are one of the largest intracontinental mountain belts in the world. Despite the size of this orogen, the basic kinematic and tectonic evolution of the Atlas Mountains has previously not ... -
Tectonic evolution of Syria Interpreted from Integrated Geophysical and Geological Analysis
(Cornell University, 2001-01)Using a variety of geophysical and geological data, the Phanerozoic tectonic evolution of Syria has been interpreted. The study is inspired by the diverse styles of tectonic deformation within Syria generated by long-lived ... -
Lithospheric Structure of the Arabian Plate and Surrounding Regions
(2004-05)Continuous waveform recording from a newly established broadband seismic network in Saudi Arabia, in addition to data produced by other stations in the region, were used to map regional seismic wave propagation (Lg and Sn) ... -
Crustal and upper mantle structure of Oman and the Northern Middle East
(Cornell University, 2003-01)This dissertation focuses on studying the crustal structure on the southeast margin and foreland of Arabia in Oman, and upper mantle rheology and structure at the zone of interaction between the Arabian, Eurasian, and ...
