The extension of the lithosphere, controlling the development of rifted basins, is driven by a
combination of plate-boundary forces, frictional forces exerted on the base of the lithosphere …

Scaled analogue models have provided graphic new insights into the progressive
development of extensional fault systems. This paper reviews recent results of an on-going …

The spatial distribution and temporal evolution of depositional systems in active-fault
bounded basins are considered to be significantly influenced by tectonics. Fault movement …

The inherent asymmetry of extension by detachment leads to contrasting and conjugate
classes of passive margins. Upper‐plate margins comprise crust above a deeper …

Recent advances in the understanding of rift basin formation, coupled with the increasing
public availability of seismic and well data across the northern Viking Graben (60–61° N) …

Extension estimates based on palinspastic restoration of only the largest faults in a
deformed terrane may be significantly deficient due to neglect of" small" faults (ie …

A tectonostratigraphic model for the evolution of rift basins has been built, involving three
distinct stages of basin development separated by key unconformities or unconformity …

The occurrence of Triassic to early Jurassic mudstone and sandstone sequences in the
northern North Sea basin, and their possible significance in terms of basinal subsidence …

Analogue models are a powerful tool for investigating progressive deformation in
extensional fault systems. This paper presents exciting new insights into the progressive …

Plots of extension versus maximum synrift sediment thickness for rifts display a wide range
of values. Some rifts display almost equal amounts of vertical displacement and horizontal …
