GEODETIC DETERMINATION OF TECTONIC DEFORMATION IN CENTRAL GREECE FROM 1900 TO 1988 by Billiris, H, Paradissis, D, Veis, G, England, P, Featherstone, W, Parsons, B, Cross, P, Rands, P, Rayson, M, Sellers, P, Ashkenazi, V, Davison, M, Jackson, J, Ambraseys, N

“…These displacements reflect the tectonic deformation of the region over the past century, showing more than one metre of north-south extension across the network. …”

Eastern Mediterranean tectonics and tsunami hazard inferred from the AD 365 earthquake by Shaw, B, Ambraseys, N, England, P, Floyd, M, Gorman, G, Higham, T, Jackson, J, Nocquet, J, Pain, C, Piggott, MD

“…Historical accounts describe an earthquake and tsunami on 21 July AD 365 that destroyed cities and drowned thousands of people in coastal regions from the Nile Delta to modern-day Dubrovnik. The location and tectonic setting of this earthquake have been uncertain until now. …”

A new velocity field for Greece: implications for the kinematics and dynamics of the Aegean by Floyd, M, Billiris, H, Paradissis, D, Veis, G, Avallone, A, Briole, P, McClusky, S, Nocquet, J, Palamartchouk, K, Parsons, B, England, P

Subjects: “…Earthquakes and tectonics…”

Radiometric dates of uplifted marine fauna in Greece: Implications for the interpretation of recent earthquake and tectonic histories using lithophagid dates by Shaw, B, Jackson, J, Higham, T, England, P, Thomas, A

“…These observations reveal two important effects that limit the use of radiocarbon lithophagid ages in tectonic and paleoseismological studies. The first is that the exceptional preservation potential of lithophagids allows them to remain intact and in situ long after natural death, while the substrate continues to be colonised until eventual uplift. …”

Late Holocene uplift of Rhodes, Greece: evidence for a large tsunamigenic earthquake and the implications for the tectonics of the eastern Hellenic Trench System by Howell, A, Jackson, J, England, P, Higham, T, Synolakis, C

“…Hydrodynamical simulation of tsunami propagation from a range of tectonically plausible sources suggests that earthquakes on the fault uplifting Rhodes represent a significant tsunami hazard for Rhodes and SW Turkey, and also possibly for Cyprus and the Nile Delta.…”

CONVECTIVE REMOVAL OF THERMAL-BOUNDARY-LAYER OF THICKENED CONTINENTAL LITHOSPHERE - A BRIEF SUMMARY OF CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE CENOZOIC TECTONICS OF THE TIBETAN PLATEAU AND SURROUNDING REGIONS by England, P

“…Tectonophysics, 223: 67-73. The tectonics of Tibet and its surroundings underwent marked changes at about 8 Ma. …”

SOME CONSEQUENCES OF THE SUBDUCTION OF YOUNG SLABS by England, P, Wortel, R

“…The transition corresponding to a resisting force of 8 × 1012 N/m divides regions displaying back-arc extensional tectonics from those displaying compressional tectonics. …”

EXTENSION DURING CONTINENTAL CONVERGENCE, WITH APPLICATION TO THE TIBETAN PLATEAU by England, P, Houseman, G

“…The Tibetan plateau is the product of crustal thickening caused by the collision between India and Asia and is the largest active example of extensional tectonics in a zone of continental collision. Throughout most of the Tertiary, the tectonics of the plateau were dominated by north-south shortening, a significant proportion of which took place on east-west striking thrust faults. …”

Relation between surface velocity field and shear wave splitting in the South Island of New Zealand by Moore, M, England, P, Parsons, B

“…Deformation in the deep lithosphere that was limited to narrow shear zones would not produce measurable splitting; hence any splitting observed should not correlate with surface tectonics. However, the distribution of fast propagation directions revealed by observations of shear wave splitting do reflect surface tectonics. …”

ACTIVE DEFORMATION OF THE CONTINENTS by England, P, Jackson, J

“…Broad zones of deformation surrounding rigid blocks are highlighted as fundamental to the analysis and interpretation of continental tectonics. Detailed theoretical consideration is given to the kinematics of distributed formation and the dynamics of continental deformation. …”

A CONTINUUM MODEL OF CONTINENTAL DEFORMATION ABOVE SUBDUCTION ZONES - APPLICATION TO THE ANDES AND THE AEGEAN by Wdowinski, S, Oconnell, R, England, P

“…Large-scale continental tectonics of back arc (extensional) and Andean-type (compressional) environments are investigated by using the thin viscous sheet model to calculate the deformation within the continental lithosphere that is subjected to horizontal forces on its plate boundaries and to basal drag from the asthenospheric flow beneath. …”

A THIN VISCOUS SHEET MODEL FOR CONTINENTAL DEFORMATION by England, P, Mckenzie, D

“…Observations of contemporary tectonics in Asia show phenomena very similar to these, in the active east-west extension of Tibet and the eastward motion of eastern Tibet.…”

Some numerical investigations of large scale continental deformation. by England, P

“…The theory of plate tectonics cannot adequately account for the deformation of the continents: within the oceanic portions of the plates seismic deformation is seen to occur in belts only a few tens of kilometres wide, but seismic, topographic, gravity and field geology data all indicate that the continents are deforming (and have deformed for most of geological time) in zones that are hundreds to thousands of kilometres wide. …”

PRELIMINARY THERMAL MODEL FOR REGIONAL METAMORPHISM IN EASTERN ALPS by Bickle, M, Hawkesworth, C, England, P, Athey, D

“…Thus it is suggested that continental crust is capable of inducing fairly high facies of metamorphism by tectonic burial alone, without the necessity for abnormal mantle contribution to the thermal budget. © 1975.…”
