Application of the Helium Isotopic System to Accretion of Terrestrial and Extraterrestrial Dust through the Cenozoic
(2013-02-25)The Helium isotopic system provides novel tools to probe the sedimentary record of the earth over the last few hundred million years. Radiogeneically derived \(^4He\) and solar wind implanted \(^3He\) is delivered to ... -
Insights into Contractional Fault-Related Folding Processes Based on Mechanical, Kinematic, and Empirical Studies
(2012-09-17)This dissertation investigates contractional fault-related folding, an important mechanism of deformation in the brittle crust, using a range of kinematic and mechanical models and data from natural structures. Fault-related ... -
Perspectives on Ocean Ridge Basalts from the Segment to the Global Scale
(2012-11-02)This study addresses the influences on ridge basalt chemistry, through analysis of their major and trace element and isotopic composition at scales ranging from individual ridge segments to the entire length of the ridge ...
