Record #206691:

Stratigraphic landscape analysis, thermochronology and the episodic development of elevated, passive continental margins / Paul F. Green, and 4 others.

Title: Stratigraphic landscape analysis, thermochronology and the episodic development of elevated, passive continental margins / Paul F. Green, and 4 others.
Author(s): Green, Paul F.
Date: 2013.
In: Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin. (2013.), Vol. 30 (2013)
Abstract: Demonstrates that elevated, passive continental margins are not result of continuous denudation and slow uplift acting on permanent highs, but that many margins have experienced complex histories of repeated subsidence, deposition, uplift, tilting and erosion. Using west Greenland as case study, argues that key to understanding margin development is new approach to study of landforms, stratigraphic landscape analysis, in which low-relief, high-elevation plateaux at elevated, passive continental margins are interpreted as uplifted peneplains: low-relief surfaces of large extent, cutting across bedrock of different age and resistance, and originally graded to sea level.
