TECTONIC HISTORY OF SHIKOKU MARGINAL BASIN by Watts, A, Weissel, J

TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF THE CORAL SEA BASIN by Weissel, J, Watts, A

TECTONIC COMPLEXITIES IN SOUTH FIJI MARGINAL BASIN by Weissel, J, Watts, A

“…Unidentified east-west-trending lineations west of the northsouth pattern suggest a complicated tectonic history for the South Fiji basin. It seems that the evolution of the basin involved more than just one simple two-limb spreading system. © 1975.…”

TECTONIC CONTROLS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF UNCONFORMITIES - THE NORTH SLOPE, ALASKA by Coakley, B, Watts, A

“…The geology of northern Alaska is defined by two complementary, synchronous tectonic events. Opening of the Canada basin breached the south facing Ellesmerian passive margin in the Late Jurassic, cutting off northerly derived sediment and initiating thermal subsidence of the north facing Beaufort passive margin. …”

TECTONIC SUBSIDENCE, FLEXURE AND GLOBAL CHANGES OF SEA-LEVEL by Watts, A

“…Tectonic models for the evolution of passive continental margins predict that following rifting, sediments should progressively onlap basement at the edge of a margin as the lithosphere cools and increases its flexural rigidity with age. …”

GRAVITY ANOMALIES SEAWARD OF DEEP-SEA TRENCHES AND THEIR TECTONIC IMPLICATIONS by Watts, A, Talwani, M

GEOS-3 DATA OVER PHILIPPINE SEA AND ITS TECTONIC IMPLICATIONS by Watts, A, Chapman, M

The origin and tectonic history of the Alboran Basin: Insights from Leg 161 results by Comas, M, Platt, J, Soto, J, Watts, A

“…Conspicuous lateral variations in rift-related subsidence phases in the basin suggest migration of the locus of extension, and probably also changes in tectonic-transport direction during the Miocene rifting. …”

SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHY, SUBSIDENCE HISTORY, AND TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF THE ALBORAN SEA, WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN by Watts, A, Doherty, J, Banda, E, Platt, J

Strike-slip tectonics and basin inversion in the Western Mediterranean: The Post-Messinian evolution of the Alboran Sea by Martínez-García, P, Comas, M, Soto, J, Lonergan, L, Watts, A

“…The Alboran Sea Basin is a region of complex interplay between sediment supply from the surrounding Betic and Rif mountains and tectonics in a zone of transpression between the converging African and European plates. …”

Gravity anomalies, subsidence history and the tectonic evolution of the Malay and Penyu Basins (offshore Peninsular Malaysia) by Madon, M, Watts, A

“…The tectonic subsidence and gravity anomalies in the Malay and Penyu Basins, offshore Peninsular Malaysia, were analysed to determine the isostatic compensation mechanism in order to investigate their origin. …”

Tectonics, global changes in sea level and their relationship to stratigraphical sequences at the US Atlantic continental margin by Watts, A, Thorne, J

“…The models show that tectonics, in the form of thermal contraction of the lithosphere and flexure and slowly varying global changes in sea level, can explain a number of the stratigraphic features of the US Atlantic continental margin. …”

Strike-slip tectonics and basin inversion in the Western Mediterranean: the Post-Messinian evolution of the Alboran Sea by Martinez-Garcia, P, Comas, M, Soto, J, Lonergan, L, Watts, A

“…The Alboran Sea Basin is a region of complex interplay between sediment supply from the surrounding Betic and Rif mountains and tectonics in a zone of transpression between the converging African and European plates. …”

From extension to shortening: Tectonic inversion distributed in time and space in the Alboran Sea, Western Mediterranean by Martínez-García, P, Comas, M, Lonergan, L, Watts, A

“…The WNW-ESE Yusuf fault formed a buttress separating and accommodating variable extension between two different tectonic domains: the thinned continental crust of Alboran and the oceanic spreading of the Algerian Basin. …”

Deep seismic structure of the Tonga subduction zone: Implications for mantle hydration, tectonic erosion, and arc magmatism by Contreras-Reyes, E, Grevemeyer, I, Watts, A, Flueh, E, Peirce, C, Moeller, S, Papenberg, C

“…Beneath the inner trench slope, however, the presence of a low velocity zone (4.0-5.5 km/s) suggests that the outer fore-arc is probably fluid-saturated, metamorphosed and disaggregated by fracturing as a consequence of frontal and basal erosion. Tectonic erosion has, most likely, been accelerated by the subduction of the Louisville Ridge, causing crustal thinning and subsidence of the outer fore-arc. …”

TERTIARY SEDIMENTARY HISTORY AND STRUCTURE OF THE VALENCIA TROUGH (WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN) by Maillard, A, Mauffret, A, Watts, A, Torne, M, Pascal, G, Buhl, P, Pinet, B

“…Nevertheless, the Valencia-Catalan grabens have been reactivated by young extensional tectonics which could be a consequence of the convergence of Africa relative to Europe. …”

Introduction to seamount special section. by Watts, A

“…The topic for the symposium arose from the realization that although there is now a wealth of new ideas on the geology, geophysics, and geochemistry of the ocean floor, the study of seamounts has been relatively neglected despite their great importance to plate tectonics. -from Author…”

Erosion-driven uplift in the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains of East Antarctica by Paxman, G, Watts, A, Ferraccioli, F, Jordan, T, Bell, R, Jamieson, S, Finn, C

“…<p>The relative roles of climate and tectonics in mountain building have been widely debated. …”
