▼ The Thakkhola Graben of central Nepal is one of several north-south-trending rifts and grabens throughout the Himalayan hinterland and southern Tibet. The faults bounding the graben run from the crest of the Himalayas at the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Ranges to the suture between India and Asia. This suture is reported to separate two disparate stress regimes, arc-perpendicular compression in the Nepal Himalayas to the south and arc-parallel extension in the Tibetan Plateau to the north. However, two lines of evidence suggest the India-Asia Suture no longer functions as a structural boundary between these stress fields: (1) the Lopukangri Rift cuts and offsets the suture, and (2) the Thakkhola Graben is located south of the suture. Despite decades of research in the Thakkhola Graben, an accurate account of fault geometry and kinematics has yet to be presented. Therefore its relationship to extensional structures in Tibet and its role in Himalayan tectonics is undetermined. Field mapping, combined with kinematic modeling and reconstruction of offset piercing points, has confined the geometry and kinematics of the faults bounding the Thakkhola Graben. The western boundary of the graben is the Dangardzang Fault and the eastern boundary is the Muktinath Fault, both of which are steeply dipping and cut down into the middle crust. The Dangardzang Fault consists of two parallel fault strands, with the easternmost accommodating the majority of strain. This fault has accommodated 4.5 kilometers of dip-slip displacement, 5.3 kilometers of dextral strike-slip displacement, and 1.4 kilometers of horizontal extension. The Muktinath Fault consists of one dominant fault strand with several subsidiary faults of lesser magnitude. This fault has accommodated 4.2 kilometers of dip-slip displacement, 1.9 kilometers of sinistral strike-slip displacement, and 0.8 kilometers of horizontal extension. Comparison of the Thakkhola Graben with the Lopukangri Rift to the north shows both of these structures share similar fault geometries, magnitudes of slip, and kinematics. This relationship implies the same stress field is active on both sides of the India-Asia Suture and therefore, in this region it no longer operates as a structural boundary between the Himalayas and Tibet.

▼ This dissertation presents an integrated, mega-regional, subsurface study of the southeastern Caribbean plate margin that incorporates observations from gravity, seismic refraction, outcrop, and ~20,000 line km of high-resolution, 2D seismic reflection data tied to wells. The objective of the study is to better understand the tectonic and basinal transitions from the Lesser Antilles subduction zone (LASZ) - characterized by the subduction of the South American oceanic crust beneath the overriding Caribbean plate and the ~300-km-wide, deepwater Barbados Accretionary Prism (BAP) - to the arcuate, obliquely-convergent and transpressional southeastern Caribbean- South American plate boundary zone - characterized by a complex suite of uplifted transpression provinces, foreland basins, and hybrid sedimentary basins. Early Cretaceous allochthonous, arc terranes, including the island of Tobago and its offshore component, the Tobago-Barbados Ridge (TBR) were accreted along the deeply-buried, lithospheric trace of the LASZ, and tectonically transported along northern South America to their present-day position at the leading eastern edge of the Caribbean plate where the terranes form a backstop for the Barbados accretionary prism. Along-strike changes in structures of the BAP are related to progressive phases of deformation that involve thickening of prism strata against the TBR backstop, frontal accretion, horizontal shortening, mud diapirism, rotation and uplift of structures, and backthrusting. The Galera Tear Fault Zone (GTFZ) that formed along the Mesozoic continent-ocean boundary of the northeastern South American plate accommodates the differential deformation between provinces of the Barbados Accretionary Prism within the LASZ to the northeast and provinces of the oblique collision and strike-slip zone near Trinidad. Basins affected by subduction-to-strike-slip plate boundary interaction undergo superimposed areas of compressional-transpressional, extensional-transtensional, and strike-slip deformation. The elongate, V-shaped, and southward-tapering Barbados piggy-back basin acts as a depressed sink for sediments derived from source areas on the uplifted, continental provinces affected by the oblique collision and strike-slip zone. Deformation along the margins of the Barbados basin influence the observed geometry, shape, and dimensions of mass transport complexes (MTCs), which are up to 500 m thick and are funneled down the synclinal basin axis.

▼ The purpose of this study is to evaluate the formation and shape of the Himalayan Foreland Basin system as it responds to lithospheric thrusting and loading. The study area is an elongate trough with an arcuate shape that mimics the shape of the Himalayan arc. The Eocene Himalayan Foreland Basin formed on the Indian Plate following subduction and continent-continent collision between the Indian and Eurasian Plates. The deepest part of the foreland basin adjacent to the Himalayan Main Frontal Thrust is covered with about 6 km of sediments. The basement is characterized by several basement ridges; elongated structures oriented perpendicular to the plate boundary. The origin of these basement ridges is unknown. In a foreland basin system, a forebulge is expected to form when a plate has strength. There are some indications that a forebulge may have developed in the Himalayan Foreland Basin, but its exact location and amplitude are debated. Three-dimensional flexural models were produced to determine the effective elastic thickness and flexural strength of the Indian Plate. Preferred models using realistic parameters predict that a low, broad forebulge has developed on the Indian Plate. The forebulge has an amplitude of about 30-50 m, and the lack of forebulge observed in the field and in stratigraphic columns is probably a result of the small amplitude of the forebulge. The formation of the basement ridges was addressed by along-strike variations in the load with 3D flexural models, and by modeling compression of an elastic plate using Abaqus. Lateral variations in the load did produce basement ridges, but did not produce realistic basin depths. In the compression model, forces were applied to the sides of the Indian Plate to simulate compression as the Plate continues to be subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. The model produced basement ridges using realistic values of plate rigidity. It is proposed that the basement ridges observed in the Himalayan Foreland Basin are the result of compression of the Indian Plate, and lateral variation of load is the result of non-uniform basin depths and subsequent sediment in-fill.

▼ Geologic models describing Cenozoic uplift and erosion of the southern Rocky Mountains predict a topographic inversion in the Four Corners region (i.e., present day basins were previously topographic highs and vice versa) during the transition from the Laramide orogeny to Rio Grande rifting. This predicts a change in the flow directions of rivers, as well as a distinct change in the sources from which basin sediments were derived. This process is investigated in the Abiquiu Embayment that lies at the junction of the modern Chama and Espanola Basins. The embayment is bound to the northeast by the Tusas-Brazos Uplift and to southwest by the Nacimiento Uplift. The Cañones Fault zone and Embudo Transfer zone bound the embayment along its width. The two studied sedimentary units exposed in the embayment include the Eocene El Rito formation, which unconformably overlies Precambrian to Cretaceous units and was deposited during the waning stages of shortening, and the syn-rift Oligocene Ritito Conglomerate that unconformably overlies the El Rito and was deposited between 25.1 Ma to 27.0 Ma. These two units record the transition from Laramide shortening to Rio Grande extension both directly, through their sedimentology, and indirectly, through their underlying unconformities. Outcrops of these units are located on the Colorado Plateau to the west at an elevation of 2600 m, in the Tusas-Brazos Mountains to the east at 2730 m, and within the rift valley near the Chama River at 1900 m. This study investigates the unconformity at the base of the Eocene El Rito Formation. Detailed field work addressing the sedimentology, paleoflow, and provenance of the El Rito is used in conjunction with a digital reconstruction of the unconformity to build a new paleogeographic map. The results show that Eocene canyons trend in the same direction as the modern ones, but are slightly wider and are inset into similar basement rock sequences. This indicates that the modern landscape is mimicking the Eocene geography. I interpret this to result from structural inversion whereby rifting drives reactivation of reverse faults, associated with Laramide basement-cored uplifts, resulting in inversion of the hanging wall to the Tusas-Brazos Laramide thrust fault into a footwall to a normal fault. This implies that structural/topographic high and lows switch places resulting in a minor modification to the landscape. Advisors/Committee Members: Murphy, Michael A. (advisor), Dupré, William R.

▼ Coarse, amalgamated, clastic units in distal regions of retro-arc foreland basins have been attributed to both periods of waning tectonism and active thrust-induced exhumation. In the former, coarse material deposited in the proximal basin is reworked into the distal basin during erosion-induced flexural rebound. In the latter, coarse detritus eroded during rapid hinterland exhumation floods the foreland, overwhelming proximal accommodation. We discriminate between these mechanisms using U-Pb geochronology and (U-Th)/He thermochronology applied to individual zircon grains of Maastrichtian to Neogene foreland basin strata in the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia. In the stratigraphic record, an upsection decrease in lag time reflects accelerating exhumation in the hinterland while increasing lag time reflects erosion (recycling) of uppermost crustal material or decelerating exhumation. The detrital thermochronology history reveals three stages of acceleration in exhumation rate associated with deposition of coarse clastics. 1) A Maastrichtian–early Paleocene decrease in lag time coupled with an influx of Mesozoic detrital zircons in the foreland basin marks the onset of compressional deformation in the Central Cordilleran magmatic arc. 2) An early Eocene–late Oligocene acceleration of exhumation is associated with exhumation in the Middle Magdalena Valley and axial Eastern Cordillera. This stage is accompanied by decreasing contributions from the Middle Magdalena Valley (MMV) Upper Cretaceous strata and increasing contributions from Eastern Cordilleran Upper Cretaceous strata. This stage indicates a stripping of the MMV Upper Cretaceous strata and eastward migration of the deformation front. The arrival of western-derived detritus in the Nunchia Basin at the end of stage two indicates a removal of a drainage divide consistent with eastward migration of the flexural wave. 3) Between the late Miocene and Pliocene, another acceleration of exhumation reflects thrusting along the Servita fault. This stage indicates the removal of Eastern Cordilleran Upper Cretaceous strata and increased influx of Early Cretaceous detritus. The acceleration of exhumation shown by the decrease in lag-time in coarse clastic units, confirms that coarse-grained deposition in both proximal and distal settings correlates with rapid exhumation in the orogenic hinterland in the retro-arc foreland basin of Colombia.

▼ Surface uplift and basin subsidence are central to the debate regarding geodynamic processes involved in the development and maintenance of high topography in the central Andes, yet these issues remain largely unaddressed in the high-elevation hinterland of southern Peru. This dissertation presents a combination of stratigraphy, sediment provenance, and stable isotopic geochemistry which bear on the geodynamic controls of orogen evolution in southern Peru. Basin analysis and modeling of the Altiplano region provides updated characterization, chronology, and quantitative provenance information. Results show that the Western Cordillera was a progressively more proximal source for the Altiplano basin sediments and that sediment accumulation rates increased from ~36 m/Myr to >150 m/Myr between 58 and 23 Ma, consistent with deposition in a northeastward-migrating flexural foreland basin system. Transition to hinterland basin deposition in the northernmost Altiplano is marked by a 23–9 Ma angular unconformity, after which localized sedimentation began again with increased accumulation rates >800 m/Myr, likely due to strike-slip subsidence. Late Oligocene to modern surface uplift patterns were determined from regional stable isotopic trends of water preserved in hydrated volcanic glasses benchmarked against isotopic signatures of modern waters. Results show the northern cordilleras of southern Peru were at modern elevation by ~22Ma. To the south, elevation increased rapidly by ~2.5 km between 22 and 17 Ma in the Western Cordillera, and between 17 and 12 Ma in the Altiplano, pointing to isostatic uplift interpreted to be from foundering of mantle lithosphere via Rayleigh-Taylor instability. The Eastern Cordillera was uplifted much slower, with ~2 km of elevation gain between 25 and 10 Ma, consistent with crustal shortening in the absence of significant lithospheric thickening. Collectively, results highlight along- and across-strike variability in geodynamic processes consistent with models of orogenic cyclicity. Cenozoic foreland basin variability along orogenic strike between southern Peru and northwest Argentina was controlled by Paleozoic–Mesozoic stratigraphic and structural fabric that resulted in thicker deposits, earlier onset of rapid sediment accumulation, and earlier higher-frequency high-flux magmatism in the north. New U-Pb data visualization/reduction and mixture modeling software packages (UPbToolbox and DZmix) were developed for, and provided with this work. Advisors/Committee Members: Saylor, Joel E.
