Orogenic Wedge Dynamics

Orogenic Wedge Dynamics is a geodynamic framework that characterizes the mechanical evolution and kinematic behavior of crustal-scale thrust wedges under compression, distinguished by its focus on the balance between tectonic forcing, gravitational collapse, basal friction, and material accretion in foreland-propagating mountain belts.
