DOI: 10.1016/j.jsg.2019.103895
Abstract: Abstract Individual normal faults are rarely single planar surfaces and often comprise arrays of fault segments arising from the earliest stages of fault propagation. Current models for the geometry and formation of relay zones between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2021.105263
Abstract: Abstract Normal faults border many a continental shelf, but have only been considered to play a subordinate role to basin-controlling faults in previous studies. Their detailed geometries and kinematic histories are still poorly known. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0016756819000207
Abstract: Abstract Metamorphic core complexes (MCCs) are interpreted as domal structures exposing ductile deformed high-grade metamorphic rocks in the core underlying a ductile-to-brittle high-strain detachment that experienced tens of kilometres of normal sense displacement in response… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/iar.12511
Abstract: Paleogene surface tectonics in Japan is not well understood because of the paucity of onshore Paleogene stratigraphic records except for those from accretionary complexes. Paralic Paleogene formations remaining in SW Japan are usually so thin… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/ges02707.1
Abstract: Mapping of rock types, structural geology, and hydrothermal alteration, supported by geochronology and thermochronology, sheds light on the original spatial relationships of hydrothermal systems to intrusions in the northern Shoshone Range in north-central Nevada. Rocks… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/se-11-935-2020
Abstract: Abstract. Normal faults have irregular geometries on a range of scales arising from different processes including refraction and segmentation. A fault with constant dip and displacement on a large-scale will have irregular geometries on smaller… read more here.
