Normal fault relay structures form at all scales as faults interact or step out of their own plane
during growth, and their successive formation and destruction represent the most efficient …

A continental rift is a nascent plate boundary where the lithosphere is thinned by tectonic
activity. Some continental rifts undergo extension to the point that they generate a new …

Fault zones and fault systems have a key role in the development of the Earth's crust. They
control the mechanics and fluid flow properties of the crust, and the architecture of …

Traditionally, fresh water carbonate research has focused on the sedimentology and
palaeontology of ancient lacustrine deposits. Lithofacies in such low‐energy deposits are …

There now exist about three dozen historical earthquakes for which investigators have
constructed maps of earthquake rupture traces accompanied by descriptions of the …

Geothermal energy can be used to produce electricity, heat or cool buildings, and other
industrial uses. It is a clean and sustainable energy source. It has generated a lot of interest …

We recently completed a comprehensive inventory of the structural settings of known
geothermal systems (426 total,≥ 37° C) in the extensional to transtensional terrane of the …

Geologic controls on development of high-flux hydrothermal conduits that promote
epithermal ore formation are evaluated at large and small scales for geothermal systems of …

Mechanical characterization of hydrothermally altered rocks from geothermal reservoirs will
lead to an improved understanding of rock mechanics in a geothermal environment. To …

Abstract The Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ) in the North Island of New Zealand is one of the
world's most spectacular and productive areas of Quaternary silicic volcanism and …
