This paper discusses the results of field-based geological investigations of exhumed rocks
exposed in the Musgrave Ranges (Central Australia) and in Nusfjord (Lofoten, Norway) that …

The mechanisms of earthquake rupture in lower continental crust, below the usual frictional‐
viscous transition, remain uncertain. In addressing this problem, the study of …

Abstract The Ramsay-Graham heterogeneous simple shear zone model revolutionized our
understanding of finite strain variation in orogenic belts. Many deeply exhumed (> 20 km …

Seismic activity below the standard seismogenic zone is difficult to investigate because the
geological records of such earthquakes, pseudotachylytes, are typically reacted and/or …

Mineral compositions are used to infer pressures, temperatures, and timescales of
geological processes. The thermodynamic techniques underlying these inferences assume …

Coseismic fracturing in the strong, dry, and metastable plagioclase‐rich lower‐crust is an
effective mechanism for creating pathways for fluids to infiltrate the host rock, kick‐start …

The thermal state of the lithosphere is often considered as the main factor controlling the
distribution of the structural and metamorphic features in tectonic systems (ancient versus …

Off-fault damage zones comprise highly fractured rocks surrounding the dynamic slip
surface of faults. These damage zones modify fault-zone rheology and rupture dynamics by …

Abstract The Intra Tantato shear zone (ITSZ), which occurs within the East Athabasca
mylonite triangle in the southern portion of the∼ 1.9 Ga Snowbird tectonic zone in northern …

Crustal-scale continental strike-slip fault systems are typically thought to be thermally
segregated into an upper seismogenic expression and a lower zone of ductile deformation …
