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 …

Abstract The North Atlantic, extending from the Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone to the north
Norway-Greenland-Svalbard margins, is regarded as both a classic case of structural …

Defining the structural style of fold–thrust belts and understanding the controlling factors are
necessary steps towards prediction of their long-term and short-term dynamics, including …

Metamorphic core complexes are products of normal-fault displacements sufficient to
exhume rocks from below the brittle–ductile transition. These faults (detachments) may …

Low-angle normal faults, LANF,(dip< 30°) have been proposed as key-structures for
accommodating crustal extension. In contrast, frictional fault reactivation theory predicts that …

Previous rotary shear experiments, performed on a halite‐muscovite fault gouge analogue
system have shown that the presence of phyllosilicates, under conditions favoring the …

A seismically active low-angle normal fault is recognized at depth in the Northern
Apennines, Italy, where recent exhumation has also exposed ancient examples at the …

Anticipated frictional dissipation during seismic rupture is such (10–100 MW/m2) that melting
on fault planes should be widespread provided slip is well-localized. However, despite …

Mineralisation associated with fault, vein and shear zone systems can be related to
processes that operated when those systems were active. Despite the complexity of …

An extensive uniaxial and triaxial compression testing programme was performed on
Indiana Limestone to assess its behaviour across the brittle–ductile transition. Particular …
