E-W EXTENSION AT 19 MA IN THE KUNG CO AREA, S. TIBET: EVIDENCE FOR CONTEMPORANEOUS E-W AND N-S EXTENSION IN THE HIMALAYAN OROGEN (2012)
In this contribution, is presented evidence for ductile E-W extension in the Kung Co area of southern Tibet that took place at ~19 Ma and is associated with a major N-S trending normal fault.

QUATERNARY FAULTING HISTORY ALONG THE DEEP SPRINGS FAULT, CALIFORNIA (2001)
This paper focuses on the Quaternary faulting and earthquake geology along one of these displacement-transfer normal faults, the Deep Springs fault, to assess its kinematic role in the evolution of the eastern California shear zone.
