Fault reactivation is a process that has long been described in nature and modelled in the
laboratory. Although many plate boundaries worldwide have undergone successive …

Faults are complex structures that substantially influence the mechanical behavior and
hydraulic connectivity of rock formations. Therefore, studying faults is important for a variety …

Unsupervised machine learning using an unsupervised vector quantization neural network
(UVQ-NN) integrated with meta-geometrical attributes as a novel computation process as …

Fault zones can often display a complex internal structure associated with antithetic faults,
branch and tip points, bed rotations, bed-parallel slip surfaces, and subordinate synthetic …

The structure of a caldera may influence its activity, making its understanding crucial for
hazard assessment. Here, we analysed high-resolution seismic profiles in the Campi Flegrei …

The impact of faults on the contemporary stress field in the upper crust has been discussed
in various studies. Data and models clearly show that there is an effect, but so far, a …

Contractional relay zones between pairs of normal faults are sometimes associated with
multiple antithetic faults in a geometry similar to that found in Riedel shear zones. Detailed …

Faults and fractures are a critical store and pathway for groundwater in Ireland's limestone
bedrock aquifers either directly as conductive structures or indirectly as the locus for the …

The Río Blanco-Los Bronces deposit is the largest Cu-Mo porphyry deposit in the world in
terms of contained Cu metal. It is the product of protracted superposed magmatic and …

Faults in volcanic areas can have different origins and can form due to several volcano-
tectonic processes. In this work, by means of detailed field observations, we analysed a fault …
