Metamorphic core complexes are products of normal-fault displacements sufficient to
exhume rocks from below the brittle–ductile transition. These faults (detachments) may …

The Daguangbao landslide was the most catastrophic mass movement triggered by the
2008 Wenchuan earthquake with a magnitude scale of Ms. 8.0. The landslide, which was …

Thirty years of research, and especially the refinements of many geological, geochemical
and geophysical techniques, have uncovered many new facets of the geology of the …

Smeaheia, a prominent fault block located on the Horda Platform, northern North Sea is
identified as a potential subsurface CO 2 storage site. We utilise the GN1101 3D seismic …

Extensional structures characterize significant parts of the North Atlantic Caledonides.
Silurian extensional deformation took place, particularly in the heated crust in the southern …

Previously hypothesized fault weakening mechanisms include faults lined by low-friction
clay gouges, elevated pore pressures within fault cores and/or the operation of dynamic …

Anticipated frictional dissipation during seismic rupture is such (10–100 MW/m2) that melting
on fault planes should be widespread provided slip is well-localized. However, despite …

The concept of fault facies is a novel approach to fault description adapted to three-
dimensional reservoir modeling purposes. Faults are considered strained volumes of rock …

Detachment fault systems typically record displacements in the order of 10s of kilometers.
The principles that control the growth of smaller magnitude normal faults are not fully …

Based on observations from the Mid-Norwegian extensional system, we describe how, when
and where the post-Caledonian continental crust evolved from a context of orogenic …
