Mechanisms of overburden deformation associated with the emplacement of the Tulipan sill, mid-Norwegian margin
The emplacement of igneous intrusions into sedimentary basins mechanically deforms the
host rocks and causes hydrocarbon maturation. Existing models of host-rock deformation …

Forced folding above shallow magma intrusions: Insights on supercritical fluid flow from analogue modelling
Magma emplacing at shallow crustal levels may cause significant deformation in the
overlying country rock (ie, forced folding, fracturing and faulting), both at a local and/or …

An inside perspective on magma intrusion: Quantifying 3D displacement and strain in laboratory experiments by dynamic X-ray computed tomography
Magma intrusions grow to their final geometries by deforming the Earth's crust internally and
by displacing the Earth's surface. Interpreting the related displacements in terms of intrusion …

Dynamics of sill and laccolith emplacement in the brittle crust: role of host rock strength and deformation mode
T Schmiedel, O Galland… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Igneous intrusions in sedimentary basins exhibit a great diversity of shapes from thin sheets
(eg, dikes, sills and cone sheets) to massive intrusions (eg, laccoliths and plugs). Presently …

The use of empirical methods for testing granular materials in analogue modelling
The behaviour of a granular material is mainly dependent on its frictional properties, angle of
internal friction, and cohesion, which, together with material density, are the key factors to be …
