Experimental modelling applied to the study of orogenic wedge dynamics has been a
subject of fruitful research for more than 30years, although the technique dates back as far …

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

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

The mechanical behaviour of several dry granular materials is investigated through ring-
shear tests, grain characterisation, and simple analogue experiments analysed by X-ray …

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 …

In this paper a computational approach is presented that is able to forward model complex
structural evolution with multiple intersecting faults that exhibit large relative movement. The …

Scaled physical models of brittle–ductile thrust wedges investigated the causes leading to
the development of the various structural styles observed in fold-and-thrust belts and …

We report a direct comparison of scaled analogue experiments to test the reproducibility of
model results among ten different experimental modelling laboratories. We present results …

There is considerable variability in the thickness, structure, and macroscopic deformation
style within shale-prone major thrust zones, which also impacts the structural style in the …

Subduction erosion shapes at least half of the world's convergent margins. However, its
rates, and modes as well as spatial and temporal variation are poorly understood. Based on …
