DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adu4227
Abstract: The physical properties of subduction inputs profoundly influence megathrust slip behavior. Seismic data reveal extensive polygonal fault systems (PFSs) in the input sequences of the Hikurangi Margin and Nankai Trough. The mechanical and hydrological effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/g47221.1
Abstract: Polygonal fault systems (PFSs) are an enigmatic class of small nontectonic extensional faults. PFSs are predominantly hosted in fine-grained sedimentary tiers and are prevalent along many continental margin basins. The genesis of PFSs is widely… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cgj-2016-0436
Abstract: An extensive polygonal fault system (PFS) within fine-grained Upper Cretaceous sediments beneath the Great Plains of North America has implications for geotechnical engineering. Geological well control, outcrop, and three-dimensional seismic data from southeast Saskatchewan exemplify… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjes-2024-0088
Abstract: Borehole logs and 3-D seismic data are used to determine the characteristics of a polygonal fault system (PFS) in the Albian Westgate Formation in western Saskatchewan and eastern Alberta. The basal Upper Cretaceous formation is… read more here.
