Discussion on the coastal flexure of Disko (West Greenland), onshore expression of the 'oblique reflectors.'

Article Abstract:

Geoffroy et al.'s first hypothesis implies that seaward-dipping reflections should be seen a short distance west of Disko in West Greenland. However, the seismic data indicate no reflection patterns that could be interpreted in this manner closer to Disko than 70 km. The presence of a monocline that was tectonically active during eruption of the basalts does not necessarily mean that nearby, there is oceanic crust.

Geometry and Quaternary kinematics of fold-and-thrust units of southwestern Taiwan

Article Abstract:

The geometry and kinematics of the southewestern Taiwan Foothills were examined, to gain an understanding of how the offshore Manila subduction and related accretionary wedge evolves northward to the collision prevailing in southwestern Taiwan. Paleostress reconstructions were undertaken to determine the orientation of the tectonic forces resulting in mountain building in the area.
