The Earth's continental skin has been cracked many times in many places during the last
several billion years. The resulting rifts number in the hundreds (Burke 1978, Ramberg & …

Recent advances are reviewed in the understanding of the geometry and development of
steep, planar normal faults with up to hundreds of meters throw in multilayered sedimentary …

An array of graphical and numerical techniques facilitate qualitative and quantitative
kinematic analysis of fault-slip data. Graphical contouring and Bingham statistics of the …

Brittle microtectonics as defined here is the application of mesofracture analysis to the
solution of tectonic problems. For the determination of regionally significant stress or strain …

Fluid redistribution in the crust is influenced by hydraulic gradient, by existing permeability
anisotropy arising from bedding and other forms of layering, and by structural permeability …

Detailed mapping of throw variations and deformation along twokm-scale normal faults in
the high-porosity Navajo sandstone, Utah, has been used to investigate fault growth in this …

We present a conceptual model to explain the development of damage zones around faults
in high-porosity sandstones. Damage zone deformation has been particularly well …

We present a formulation for mechanical modeling of geological processes in the
seismogenic crust using damage rheology. The seismogenic layer is treated as an elastic …

Transprcssional strain acting upon structurally anisotropic rocks can be partitioned into
separate deformational domains of pure shear and simple shear. This contrasts with …
