DOI: 10.1007/s00024-020-02521-0
Abstract: The Zagros Belt has examples of strike-slip faults affected by precursor Hormuz Salt bodies. We attempted to examine the role of salt walls in localizing the strike-slip faults using field observations, seismic profiles and understandings… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jseaes.2019.104091
Abstract: Abstract Controversy remains over when present-day configuration of the Anatolia boundary faults came into existence, and the issue of what are the driving forces of the Anatolian westward motion. The NW-striking dextral and NE-striking sinistral… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020tc006091
Abstract: Late Jurassic‐Early Cretaceous strike‐slip faults play an important role in basin formation and igneous activities in eastern China and the adjacent areas. Because of the lack of seismic data, their distribution and effect on the… read more here.
