NEOTECTONICS NEAR THE NW CORNER OF THE PACIFIC PLATE: MARINE TERRACES ON OZERNOI AND KAMCHATSKIY PENINSULAS, KAMCHATKA
On Kamchatka, four regional-scale peninsulas are present on the eastern shore, from south to north, Shipunskiy, Kronotskiy, Kamchatskiy, and Ozernoi peninsulasWe studied marine terrace sequences on the northern two peninsulas, which show moderate to strong uplift rates as well as tectonic segmentati...
