Our understanding of folds and folding builds on detailed geometrical analysis. Proper
description of folds and their relation to other structures such as fractures, cleavage and …

Folds are spectacular geological structures that are seen in layered rock on many different
scales. To mark 30 years of the Journal of Structural Geology, we review the information that …

Numerically modelling the dynamics of a self-consistently subducting lithosphere is a
challenging task because of the decoupling problems of the slab from the free surface. We …

Abstract The Late Pleistocene Lisan Formation contains superb examples of soft-sediment
deformation generated during gravity-driven slum** and failure down extremely gentle (< …

Gravity and magnetic studies have been carried out over a non-volcanic hot spring zone
consisting of Atri and Tarabalo hot springs along the intracontinental Mahanadi rift basin to …

The eastern and western Himalayan syntaxes are crustal-scale antiforms whose
metamorphic evolution is coeval in the India–Asia collisional history. Finite element …

The shortening and extension of mechanically layered ductile rock generates folds and
pinch-and-swell structures (also referred to as necks or continuous boudins), which result …

Rockglaciers often feature a prominent furrow‐and‐ridge topography. Previous studies
suggest that this morphology develops due to longitudinal compressive flow during …

We study high-amplitude folding in layered rocks with two-dimensional numerical
simulations. We employ the finite-element method to model shortening of an incompressible …

Tectonic fractures are otherwise known as joints or fissures. The density of tectonic fractures
is governed by the lithology, layer thickness and structures. The distribution and density of …
