Compressional inversion of former extensional sedimentary basins is a particularly common
phenomenon, given that passive margins share the same destiny of being subsequently …

The Tertiary rift basins of Thailand have been previously interpreted in terms of strike-slip
faulting. However, many of the trends oblique to the N–S orientation of the rift system appear …

In this paper we determine the structure and evolution of a normal fault system by applying
qualitative and quantitative fault analysis techniques to a 3D seismic reflection dataset from …

Scaled experimental models show that the presence of a viscous layer, such as salt,
facilitates the development of extensional forced folds above active normal faults. The …

The Himalaya is the result of the on-going convergence and collision of India and Asia. The
internal configuration and processes that govern the rise of the Himalayan Mountains and …

Field studies frequently emphasize how fault reactivation is involved in the deformation of
the upper crust. However, this phenomenon is generally neglected (except in inversion …

Jurassic rifting in the Southern Alps and Northern Apennines occurred within a relatively
short (2–4 my) interval of tectonic activity (late Hettangian–early Sinemurian) in proximal …

The Aconcagua fold and thrust belt, located in the Andean mountains at 32° 30′ to 34° S,
has been described as a classic model of a thin-skinned thrust belt. However, new structural …

A series of analogue models have been performed to get insights into the relationships
between the reactivation of pre-existing normal faults and the orientation of a successive …

We interpret Cretaceous sedimentation in the Norwegian Sea, following the Jurassic rift
episode and until the onset of Campanian rifting, to represent a post-rift thermal subsidence …
