Thin-skinned vs thick-skinned interpretations of thrust belts

- Part of the Shear Zone channel. Structural interpretations of thrust belts are commonly under-constrained, but historically, are strongly represented by "foothills" style thin-skinned models. Drawing on examples from the Alps, Italian Apennines and Papua New Guinea, this video explores whether these types of interpretations are universally (over even generally) applicable, and suggests that stratigraphic and structural interpretations need to go on hand-in-hand.
Hi Rob,
I was wondering where I could find the last cross section of the Canadian Cordillera.
Thanks

man this is wild
indeed - the message is I hope not too crazy... that understanding the stratigraphy is as important as the structural geology when building interpretations on cross-sections....
Studying for my Professional geologist exam right now. Structural was never my strongest subject but this playlist is great. Thank you for making this available!! You're an excellent instructor.
