DOI: 10.1002/2017tc004476
Abstract: Oblique plate convergence is common, but it is not clear how the obliquity is achieved by continental fold-and-thrust belts. We address this problem in the Qilian Shan, northeastern Tibetan Plateau, using fieldwork observations, geomorphic analysis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jsg.2020.104012
Abstract: Abstract Fold and thrust belts (FTBs) accommodate tectonic convergence through folding and faulting of crustal rocks during a collisional event between two continental plates. Although evidence of distributed deformation is common in FTBs that usually… read more here.

Variation in structural styles within fold-and-thrust belts: Insights from field mapping, cross-sections balancing, and 2D-kinematic modelling in the Jura mountains (Eastern France)

DOI: 10.1016/j.jsg.2021.104381
Abstract: Abstract Fold-and-thrust belts developed above evaporite decollement host structural traps where geofluids, including hydrocarbons, can accumulate. A valid and accurate three-dimensional geometry interpretation is therefore crucial to understand the structural styles, in order to better… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2017.01.013
Abstract: Abstract Deep water fold and thrust belts (DWFTBs) are sedimentary wedges that accommodate plate-scale deformation on both active and passive continental margins. Internally, these wedges consist of individual structures that strongly influence sediment dispersal, bathymetry… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2019.03.012
Abstract: Abstract Kinematic restorations in fold and thrust belts, which are a valuable tool for studying the deformational history of fold and thrust belts, have been poorly used to understand erosion rates. In this contribution, we… read more here.
