Mathematics is a common component of many science and social science degrees, but frequently not considered a prerequisite for their study. This can lead to some students studying mathematics components at undergraduate level with little or no previo...

Geomorphic expressions of collisional tectonics in the Qilian Shan, north eastern Tibetan Plateau (2020)
Journal Article
Groves, K., Saville, C., Hurst, M. D., Jones, S. J., Song, S., & Allen, M. B. (2020). Geomorphic expressions of collisional tectonics in the Qilian Shan, north eastern Tibetan Plateau. Tectonophysics, 788, Article 228503. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tecto.2020.228503

The Qilian Shan, north eastern Tibetan Plateau, is an area of active deformation caused by convergence in the India-Eurasia collision zone. Geomorphic indices capture the landscape response to competition between tectonics and climate, reflecting the...

Orogenic plateau growth: expansion of the Turkish-Iranian Plateau across the Zagros fold-and-thrust belt (2013)
Journal Article
Allen, M., Saville, C., Blanc, E., Talebian, M., & Nissen, E. (2013). Orogenic plateau growth: expansion of the Turkish-Iranian Plateau across the Zagros fold-and-thrust belt. Tectonics, 32(2), 171-190. https://doi.org/10.1002/tect.20025

[1] This paper shows how the Turkish-Iranian Plateau grows laterally by incrementally incorporating adjacent parts of the Zagros fold-and-thrust belt. The limit of significant, seismogenic, thrusting in the Zagros (Mw > 5) occurs close to the regiona...

40Ar/39Ar dating of Quaternary lavas in northwest Iran: constraints on the landscape evolution and incision rates of the Turkish-Iranian plateau (2011)
Journal Article
Allen, M., Mark, D., Kheirkhah, M., Barfod, D., Emami, M., & Saville, C. (2011). 40Ar/39Ar dating of Quaternary lavas in northwest Iran: constraints on the landscape evolution and incision rates of the Turkish-Iranian plateau. Geophysical Journal International, 185(3), 1173-1185. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-246x.2011.05022.x

We report five new 40Ar/39Ar ages for basaltic lavas in the Maku region of northwest Iran, between ca. 1.87 and 0.40 Ma, which help constrain the tectonic and landscape evolution of this part of the Turkish—Iranian plateau. Flows originated from the... Read More about 40Ar/39Ar dating of Quaternary lavas in northwest Iran: constraints on the landscape evolution and incision rates of the Turkish-Iranian plateau.
