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: 10.5194/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.
