Normal faults are often complex three-dimensional structures comprising multiple sub-
parallel segments separated by intact or breached relay zones. Relay zones are classified …

Increased interest in the two-and three-dimensional geometries and development of faults
and other types of fractures in rock has led to an increasingly bewildering terminology. Here …

The same sense movement on any given fault plane occurs much more frequently
compared to the cases when the sense reverses. Therefore, positive or negative structural …

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 …

Smeaheia, a prominent fault block located on the Horda Platform, northern North Sea is
identified as a potential subsurface CO 2 storage site. We utilise the GN1101 3D seismic …

Integrated geological-geophysical methods have been used to depict the geometric
characteristics and kinematic evolution of the Shunbei 5 (SB5) and adjacent Shunbei1 (SB1) …

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 …

Pre-existing intra-basement shear zones can induce mechanical and rheological
heterogeneities that may influence rifting and the overall geometry of rift-related normal …

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 …

Extensional faults and folds exert a fundamental control on the location, thickness and
partitioning of sedimentary deposits on rift basins. The connection between the mode of …
