Active Tectonics of East Timor: Geomorphic Responses to an Evolving Slab Rupture

Grant number: DP110104098 | Funding period: 2011 - 2014

Completed

Abstract

Through analysis of the landscape evolution of East Timor, this project will establish new insights into basic dynamic processes responsible for formation of mountain systems. By quantifying slip rates on active faults and erosion rates across its landscape, it will provide new constraints on natural hazards for East Timor, and the broader region.
