Structure and Kinematics of the SW Taiwan Fold and Thrust belt
Biete Castells, Cristina (Date of defense: 2019-10-22)
Studies of mountain belts worldwide show that along-strike changes are common in their foreland fold-and-thrust belts. These are typically caused by processes related to fault reactivation and/or fault focusing along changes ...
