Mélanges represent a significant component of collisional and accretionary orogenic belts.
We present a comparison of subduction-accretion mélanges of different ages to test how …

During the past five decades, numerical modeling of subduction, one of the most
challenging and captivating geodynamic processes, remained in the core of geodynamic …

Seamounts or submarine volcanoes frequently collide with the overriding crust along
presently active subduction zones locally modifying stress and permanent deformation …

There is considerable variability in the thickness, structure, and macroscopic deformation
style within shale-prone major thrust zones, which also impacts the structural style in the …

Fold-and-thrust belts (FTBs) can be segmented both across and along strike because of
various factors including tectonic and stratigraphic inheritance. In this study, we investigated …

To understand the effects of substantial topographic relief on deformation localization in the
seismically active mountains, like the Longmen Shan thrust belt in the eastern Tibet …

This work presents numerical experiments of inversion of rift basins and consequent sub-
thrust imbrication in tectonic wedges. Half-graben basins initially develop and then are …

A fold-and-thrust belt (FTB) characterized by a basement high and detachment layer was
developed beneath the South Yellow Sea Basin, an important petroleum exploration target …

A numerical granular rock box experiment based on the Discrete Element Method (DEM)
was performed in thin 3D geometry to investigate the role of granularity in thrust formation …

Most natural examples of transpression zones developed at oblique convergence regime
are inherently 3D and have inclined boundaries. A 3D finite element model with an elasto …
