Compressional inversion of former extensional sedimentary basins is a particularly common
phenomenon, given that passive margins share the same destiny of being subsequently …

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 …

Defining the structural style of fold–thrust belts and understanding the controlling factors are
necessary steps towards prediction of their long-term and short-term dynamics, including …

Inversion structures, associated with the compressional reactivation of moderate to steeply
dipping normal faults inherited from earlier crustal extension, form important structural traps …

The inversion of crustal‐scale basement grabens is studied here through laboratory
experiments on small‐scale models and available oil industry seismic lines from the …

Fold-and-thrust belts and accretionary wedges form by compression of sedimentary
sequences and basement rocks into forward and backward thrusts, folds, nappes, and …

We consider and discuss the presence of discontinuities in the crust as a major source of
stress perturbations. Based on 2-D distinct-element modelling, we reconstruct the local …

Field studies frequently emphasize how fault reactivation is involved in the deformation of
the upper crust. However, this phenomenon is generally neglected (except in inversion …

We report results of a study comparing numerical models of sandbox-type experiments. Two
experimental designs were examined:(1) A brittle shortening experiment in which a thrust …

New combined structural and seismotectonic analyses demonstrate basement‐involved
shortening in forelands of recent collisional orogens (Taiwan, Western Alps, Pyrenees) …
