Fault damage zones width: Implications for the tectonic evolution of the northern border of the Araripe Basin, Brazil, NE Brazil
Fault zones commonly have spatially variable fault rocks and brittle structures. Differing fault-
rock attributes may retard or increase cross-and along-fault permeability. Our work analyzed …
