"Structural Analysis of the Lengguru Fold and Thrust Belt, Irian Jaya, " by Taylor A. Baker

The Lengguru Fold and Thrust Belt is a unique region of western Irian Jaya, Indonesia that has undergone several deformation events over the past 5 million years due to crustal movement between the Australian, Caroline, and Pacific tectonic plates. Controversy exists on how or if the westernmost part of Irian Jaya (the Bird's Head Peninsula) travelled to its present-day location due to plate tectonic movements. It is possible that this movement is recorded in the structural geology of the Lengguru Fold and Thrust Belt. Thus, the primary objective of this project was to determine and measure the minimum amount of shortening that occurred throughout the project region to gain a better understanding of the tectonic history of the Lengguru Fold and Thrust Belt through the process of mapping geological structures (faults and folds) and attempting to restore the terrane to its form prior to deformation. This will be established by utilising the software ArcGIS and MOVETM the structural ....
