Thin-skinned Fold- and -Thrust Belts
Collaborative project with Glen Stockmal, GSC-Calgary

Selected Model Results: GS-6, GS-8


Description of Model GS-6:
- Physical model: 5 x 400 km
- Multi-layer Coulomb model with strong and weak layers (phi = 30 and phi = 5)
- cohesion = 0.1 MPa (for "strong" materials)
