Strain in the lithosphere localizes into tabular zones known as shear zones that grow from
small outcrop-size individual zones to large composite structures. Nucleation is related to …

Normal fault relay structures form at all scales as faults interact or step out of their own plane
during growth, and their successive formation and destruction represent the most efficient …

This market-leading textbook has been fully updated in response to extensive user
feedback. It includes a new chapter on joints and veins, additional examples from around …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

Scaling in fracture systems has become an active field of research in the last 25 years
motivated by practical applications in hazardous waste disposal, hydrocarbon reservoir …

Increased interest in the two-and three-dimensional geometries and development of faults
and other types of fractures in rock has led to an increasingly bewildering terminology. Here …

Maximum displacement (D) and trace length (L) data for a population of 97 normal faults
from the Canyonlands Grabens region of SE Utah are presented. Values of L range from …

Large fault systems often result from the linkage of smaller faults. This produces an increase
in fault length, but a deviation from the simple displacement pattern observed for individual …

The interpretation of fault kinematics from geometric data is an essential step in developing
an understanding of the growth of fault systems. Constraints on fault geometry are, however …

The majority of folds in extensional tectonic settings are associated with normal fault systems
over a wide range of scales. The hinges of longitudinal folds are subparallel to associated …
