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 …

Normal faults grow via synchronous increase in displacement and length ('propagating fault
model', also known as the 'isolated fault model'), or by rapid length establishment and …

Normal faults grow via a sympathetic increase in their displacement and length ('isolated
model') or by rapid establishment of their near-final length prior to significant displacement …

We investigate (i) margin‐scale structural inheritance in rifts and (ii) the time scales of rift
propagation and rift length establishment, using the East Greenland rift system (EGR) as an …

The study of coseismic surface ruptures provides insights into earthquakes dynamics and
fault growth processes. We analyze the surface faulting related to the seismic sequence that …

Normal faults are the dominant structures found in extensional sedimentary basins
developed in continental rifts and passive margins. The geometry and growth of faults are …

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 …

Fault zones can often display a complex internal structure associated with antithetic faults,
branch and tip points, bed rotations, bed-parallel slip surfaces, and subordinate synthetic …

Analyzing the factors that affect the fault damage zone parameters and the impact of
deformation on host rock permeability is fundamental for predicting the fluid flow behavior in …

Based on comparisons between fault growth histories and the distributions of paleo-oil and
existing oil accumulations, the fault growth and linkage processes have been proposed as …
