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

Opposite shear sense (OSS) is manifested by the presence of conflicting shear sense
indicators in a portion of a rock body, a shear/fault zone or across several parallel shear/fault …

Basement inherited structures represent a significant factor affecting thrust propagation
dynamics during the growth of fold-and-thrust belts. In this study inspirited from seismic data …

The Mesozoic sediments of the Araripe Basin peak at ca. 1000 m, more than 500 m above
the host Precambrian basement. This means that an intracontinental graben has been …

Common basin models assume that the post‐rift tectonic evolution of most basins is usually
associated with tectonic quiescence. However, tectonic inversion during the post‐rift phase …

Most intraplate areas worldwide are under compression characterized by thrust and strike-
slip deformations. The sources of the stresses in these regions are a combination of far-field …

Abstract We use the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia as an example in early stages of
inversion orogen showing still modest values of shortening. The style of deformation …

The Andes are the classic example of a subduction-related orogen. Segmentation of the
orogenic belt is related to dynamics of the subduction zone and to upper plate …

Basin inversion involves the reversal of subsidence in a basin due to compressional tectonic
forces, leading to uplift of the basin's sedimentary infill. A thorough understanding of basin …

The West Spitsbergen fold‐and‐thrust belt formed along the transform plate boundary
between Greenland and the western Barents Sea during Paleocene‐Eocene breakup in the …
