  • Post-Collisional Formation of the Alpine Foreland Rifts
    Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae (1991) vol. 61:37 - 59 PL ISSN 0208-9068 POST-COLLISIONAL FORMATION OF THE ALPINE FORELAND RIFTS E. Craig Jowett Department of Earth Sciences, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario Canada N2L 3G1 Jowett, E. C., 1991. Post-collisional formation of the Alpine foreland rifts. Ann. Soc. Geol. Polon., 6 1 :37-59. Abstract: A series of Cenozoic rift zones with bimodal volcanic rocks form a discontinuous arc parallel to the Alpine mountain chain in the foreland region of Europe from France to Czechos­ lovakia. The characteristics of these continental rifts include: crustal thinning to 70-90% of the regional thickness, in cases with corresponding lithospheric thinning; alkali basalt or bimodal igneous suites; normal block faulting; high heat flow and hydrothermal activity; regional uplift; and immature continental to marine sedimentary rocks in hydrologically closed basins. Preceding the rifting was the complex Alpine continental collision orogeny which is characterized by: crustal shortening; thrusting and folding; limited calc-alkaline igneous activity; high pressure metamorphism; and marine flysch and continental molasse deposits in the foreland region. Evidence for the direction of subduction in the central area is inconclusive, although northerly subduction likely occurred in the eastern and western Tethys. The rift events distinctly post-date the thrusthing and shortening periods of the orogeny, making “impactogen” models of formation untenable. However, the succession of tectonic and igneous events, the geophysical characteristics, and the timing and location of these rifts are very similar to those of the Late Cenozoic Basin and Range province in the western USA and the Early Permian Rotliegendes troughs in Central Europe.

  • Les Nappes Alluviales De L'allier En Limagne (Massif Central, France) : Stratigraphie Et Corrélations Avec Le Volcanisme
    Quaternaire, 16, (3), 2005, p. 153-175 LES NAPPES ALLUVIALES DE L’ALLIER EN LIMAGNE (MASSIF CENTRAL, FRANCE). STRATIGRAPHIE ET CORRÉLATIONS AVEC LE VOLCANISME RÉGIONAL Ⅲ Jean-François PASTRE* RÉSUMÉ La vallée de l’Allier offre en Limagne une des séquences fluviatiles les plus développées en Europe. Le système de terrasses quaternaire postérieur à 2 Ma comporte 12 unités principales et de nombreuses unités secondaires à développement plus ou moins local. Il prolonge un ensemble de dépôts alluviaux pliocènes et plio-pléistocènes étagés compris entre environ 5 et 2 Ma. Le volcanisme bordier, qui a joué un rôle important dans leur préservation, permet de disposer de nombreux repères chronologiques datés principalement par K-Ar et 39Ar/40Ar. L’étude des cortèges de mi- néraux lourds volcaniques et des marqueurs plus ponctuels constitués par les quartz rhyolitiques et les laves différenciées permet de distinguer la majorité des dépôts et d’établir leur corrélation stratigraphique. Le rôle majeur joué par les téphras du Mont-Dore (environ 3,5 à 0,25 Ma) dans la constitution des spectres minéralogiques permet de proposer des corrélations chronologiques plus ou moins précises avec la téphrochronologie établie pour ce strato-volcan. Si l’analyse comparative des données morphostratigraphiques et sédimentologiques contribue à préciser la définition de nombreuses unités, elle montre aussi leur répartition très inégale dans l’espace et le temps. Plusieurs critères permettant d’établir la continuité et la discontinuité syn- et post-sédimentaire des formations alluviales sont ainsi examinés. Mots-clés : Dépôts fluviatiles, volcanisme, corrélations sédimentologiques et chronostratigraphiques, Pléistocène, Allier, Limagne. ABSTRACT THE RIVER ALLIER TERRACES IN LIMAGNE (FRANCE).

  • Pacing Early Mars Fluvial Activity at Aeolis Dorsa: Implications for Mars
    1 Pacing Early Mars fluvial activity at Aeolis Dorsa: Implications for Mars 2 Science Laboratory observations at Gale Crater and Aeolis Mons 3 4 Edwin S. Kitea ([email protected]), Antoine Lucasa, Caleb I. Fassettb 5 a Caltech, Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences, Pasadena, CA 91125 6 b Mount Holyoke College, Department of Astronomy, South Hadley, MA 01075 7 8 Abstract: The impactor flux early in Mars history was much higher than today, so sedimentary 9 sequences include many buried craters. In combination with models for the impactor flux, 10 observations of the number of buried craters can constrain sedimentation rates. Using the 11 frequency of crater-river interactions, we find net sedimentation rate ≲20-300 μm/yr at Aeolis 12 Dorsa. This sets a lower bound of 1-15 Myr on the total interval spanned by fluvial activity 13 around the Noachian-Hesperian transition. We predict that Gale Crater’s mound (Aeolis Mons) 14 took at least 10-100 Myr to accumulate, which is testable by the Mars Science Laboratory. 15 16 1. Introduction. 17 On Mars, many craters are embedded within sedimentary sequences, leading to the 18 recognition that the planet’s geological history is recorded in “cratered volumes”, rather than 19 just cratered surfaces (Edgett and Malin, 2002). For a given impact flux, the density of craters 20 interbedded within a geologic unit is inversely proportional to the deposition rate of that 21 geologic unit (Smith et al. 2008). To use embedded-crater statistics to constrain deposition 22 rate, it is necessary to distinguish the population of interbedded craters from a (usually much 23 more numerous) population of craters formed during and after exhumation.

Thierry Camelbeeck1, Kris Vanneste1, Koen Verbeek1, David Garcia-Moreno1,2, Koen van Noten1 & Thomas Lecocq1 1 Royal Observatory of Belgium: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 2 University of Ghent: [email protected] Abstract th Since the 14 century, moderate seismic activity with 14 earthquakes of magnitude MW≥5.0 occurred in Western Europe in a region extending from the Lower Rhine Graben (LRG) to the southern North Sea. In this paper, we investigate how well this seismic activity could reflect that of the future. The observed earthquake activity in the LRG is continuous and concentrates on the Quaternary normal faults delimiting the LRG, which are also the source of large surface rupturing Holocene and Late Pleistocene earthquakes. The estimated magnitude of these past earthquakes ranges from 6.3±0.3 to 7.0±0.3 while their average recurrence on individual faults varies from ten thousand to a few ten thousand years, which makes foreseeing future activity over the long-term possible. Three of the largest historical earthquakes with MW≥5.5 occurred outside the LRG. Late Quaternary activity along the fault zones suspected to be the source of two of these earthquakes, i.e. the 1580 Strait of Dover and 1692 northern Belgian Ardennes earthquakes, is very elusive if it exists.
