Deformation along faults in the shallow crust (< 1 km) introduces permeability heterogeneity
and anisotropy, which has an important impact on processes such as regional groundwater …

The permeability structure of a fault zone in granitic rocks has been investigated by
laboratory testing of intact core samples from the unfaulted protolith and the two principal …

The hydrogeology of the Roer Valley Rift System is strongly influenced by the hydraulic
properties of faults. The hydrogeological impact of faults is illustrated by examples from the …

In semiarid climates, a significant component of recharge to basin aquifers occurs along the
mountain front. Traditionally called" mountain-front recharge"(MFR), this process has been …

We argue that the observed conduit‐barrier behavior of fault zones in siliciclastic
sedimentary aquifer systems can be understood by considering a strongly anisotropic …

102 FAULT ZONE ARCHITECTURE AND FLUID FLOW magnitude and patterns of fluid flux
and solute transport both within and near the fault zone. Inferences derived from the model …

Abstract The Sand Hill fault is a steeply dipping, large-displacement normal fault that cuts
poorly lithified Tertiary sediments of the Albuquerque basin, New Mexico, United States. The …

Influences of hydraulic conductivity (K) heterogeneities on bedrock groundwater (BG) flow
systems in mountainous topography are investigated using a conceptual 2D numerical …

We examine the distribution, density, and orientation of outcrop-scale structures related to
the Punchbowl Fault, an exhumed ancient trace of the San Andreas Fault, southern …

The role of horizontal deformation caused by pumping of confined-aquifer systems is
recognized as contributing to the development of earth fissures in semiarid regions …
