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 …

Abstract The North Atlantic, extending from the Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone to the north
Norway-Greenland-Svalbard margins, is regarded as both a classic case of structural …

Seismic interpretations are, by definition, subjective and often require significant time and
expertise from the interpreter. We are convinced that machine-learning techniques can help …

Abstract The northern North Sea rift evolved through multiple rift phases within a highly
heterogeneous crystalline basement. The geometry and evolution of syn‐rift depocenters …

Improvements in seismic imaging, computing capabilities, and analytical methods, as well
as a number of industry deep-water wells sampling distal offshore settings, have …

Abstract The northern North Sea rift basin developed on a heterogeneous crust comprising
structures inherited from the Caledonian orogeny and Devonian postorogenic extension …

In the context of rift basin formation, structural inheritance describes the influence of pre-
existing structures on new rift-related structures, including faults. Pre-existing structures in …

The boundary between the Helvetic and the Penninic (= Briançonnais) Zones has long been
recognized as a major fault (“Penninic Front”) in the Western Alps. A narrow oceanic domain …

Detachment fault systems typically record displacements in the order of 10s of kilometers.
The principles that control the growth of smaller magnitude normal faults are not fully …

During lithospheric extension, localization of deformation often occurs along structural
weaknesses inherited from previous tectonic phases. Such weaknesses may occur in both …
