We present a review of the analogue modelling method, which has been used for 200 years,
and continues to be used, to investigate geological phenomena and geodynamic processes …

Normal faults are often complex three-dimensional structures comprising multiple sub-
parallel segments separated by intact or breached relay zones. Relay zones are classified …

In this paper we determine the structure and evolution of a normal fault system by applying
qualitative and quantitative fault analysis techniques to a 3D seismic reflection dataset from …

The presence of fluid within a fault zone can cause overpressure and trigger earthquakes. In
this work, we study the influence of fault‐zone architecture on pore pressure distribution and …

Even when geologically based methods are used to determine fault rock permeabilities and
thicknesses for input into flow simulators, a wide range of simplifying assumptions regarding …

Individual normal faults are rarely single planar surfaces and often comprise arrays of fault
segments arising from the earliest stages of fault propagation. Current models for the …

Normal faults on Malta were studied to analyse fault propagation and evolution in different
carbonate facies. Deformation of carbonate facies is controlled by strength, particle size and …

Faults are important structures in the formation of many mineral deposits, often acting as
conduits for ore-forming fluids and sometimes providing, or generating, the bounding …

Fracture prediction in subsurface reservoirs is critical for exploration through exploitation of
hydrocarbons. Methods of predicting fractures commonly neglect to include the stratigraphic …

We present analogue models of the formation of dilatant normal faults and fractures in
carbonate fault zones, using cohesive hemihydrate powder (CaSO4· ½H2O). The evolution …
