Assigned Reading: Garzione, C.N., et al., 2003, East-west extension and Miocene environmental change in the  southern Tibetan plateau: Thakkola graben, central Nepal. Geol. Soc. Amer. Bull 115:3-20.
After reading the above paper, list the types of geology research specialists who you think would be likely to  read this paper.
What is Garzione trying to convince you of with the paleocurrent and provenance data she presents?

 

What types of interpretations do the authors derive from thickness patterns across the basin? Do these seem  reasonable based on the evidence provided?

 

What types of evidence do the authors use to support their interpretations about paleoclimates in the Thakkola  graben at the time of deposition? Are their conclusions supported by data presented or would you be required to  read other papers extensively to evaluate their conclusions?

 

What other general impressions did you have of this paper? What did you learn from reading it beyond simply the  history of a particular basin in a remote part of the world?
