Abstract: Abstract Strike-slip shear zones with sub-parallel arrays of evenly-spaced faults are widely observed in nature, but the controls on the spacing between major faults are unclear. We analyze a 2-D model and develop a scaling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023tc007864
Abstract: Continental‐scale strike‐slip shear zones often record significant tectono‐magmatism and dynamic deformation processes of the crustal lithosphere. However, the genetic relationships and timing among the anatexis, deformation, and initial shearing along a strike‐slip shear zone have… read more here.
