Subglacial deformation is by now a well established process. However, recognition of this
process in Pleistocene tills is not always clear. Studies of thin sections of Pleistocene tills …

Folds are spectacular geological structures that are seen in layered rock on many different
scales. To mark 30 years of the Journal of Structural Geology, we review the information that …

Microtectonics deals with the interpretation of microstructures, small-scale deformation
structures in rocks that yield abundant information on the history and type of deformation and …

The Red River Fault zone (RRF) is the major geological discontinuity that separates South
China from Indochina. Today it corresponds to a great right-lateral fault, following for over …

New structural, petrographic, and 40Ar/39Ar data constrain the kinematics of the ASRR
(Ailao Shan‐Red River shear zone). In the XueLong Shan (XLS), geochronological data …

Most plutons have widespread magmatic fabrics, the interpretation of which remains
controversial. We propose a method to constrain likely causes of fabric patterns, the …

We present a unifying theory for the development and distribution of strain markers and
kinematic indicators in zones of general shear, and thus provide a framework in which data …

An inverted metamorphic field gradient associated with a crustal-scale south-vergent thrust
fault, the Main Central Thrust, has been recognized along the Himalaya for over 100 years …

Ductile shear zones and associated stretching lineations are generally considered to be the
result of two-dimensional, simple shear deformations, with stretching lineations interpreted …

This book is a systematic guide to the recognition and interpretation of deformation
microstructures and mechanisms in minerals and rocks at the scale of a thin section …
