Active mountain-building in Mongolia and Iran by Nissen, E, Edwin Nissen

“…In this thesis I use a multi-disciplinary approach to investigate two areas of active mountain-building within the Alpine-Himalayan belt: the Altai range in western Mongolia, and the Zagros mountains in southern Iran. …”

Unravelling the structural, metamorphic and strain history of the "Aegean Orogeny", Southern Greece with a combined structural, petrographic and geochronological approach by Lamont, T

“…In this thesis, new structural mapping, petrography, thermobarometry, phase equilibria modelling, U–Th–Pb and Lu–Hf garnet geochronology is presented from the islands of Tinos, Naxos and Delos and reveal the Cyclades have experienced a complete cycle of mountain building. The Tsiknias Ophiolite on Tinos formed at 161.9 ± 1.3 Ma and is underlaid by a metamorphic sole which displays a highly condensed and inverted temperature gradient, with partial melting directly below the ophiolite contact at P–T conditions of 8.5 kbar, 850°C. …”

Viscoelastic modelling of crustal deformation by Moore, J

“…Results of these models has important implications for our understanding of large-scale continental deformation and mountain building, in addition to both seismic and volcanic hazard assessment.…”
