Late Quaternary tectonics in western Sorkapp Land, Spitsbergen

Photogeologic analysis and fieldworks in the Bunge Glacier area indicate symptoms of the Late Quaternary tectonic phenomena in western SØrkapp Land, southern Spitsbergen. The fault zones cut pre-Quaternary outcrops of Stupryggen and Kulmrabben as well as the raised marine beaches. This tectonics is...
