Scale-dependent influence of pre-existing basement shear zones on rift faulting : a case study from NE Brazil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Rifting of continental crust initiates faults that are commonly influenced by pre-existing structures. We document newly identified faults cutting Precambrian units in the interior of the NE Brazilian margin to assess the effects of structural ...

Strike-slip fault terminations at seismogenic depths : the structure and kinematics of the Glacier Lakes fault, Sierra Nevada United States [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Structural complexity is common at the terminations of earthquake surface ruptures; similar deformation may therefore be expected at the end zones of earthquake ruptures at depth.

RECENT GEODYNAMICS OF FAULT ZONES: FAULTING IN REAL TIME SCALE

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
Recent deformation processes taking place in real time are analyzed on the basis of data on fault zones which were collected by long-term detailed geodetic survey studies with application of field methods and satellite monitoring.A new category of recent

Paleoearthquakes of the Düzce fault (North Anatolian Fault Zone): Insights for large surface faulting earthquake recurrence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Copyright 2008 by the American Geophysical Union.The 12 November 1999 Mw 7.1 earthquake ruptured the Düzce segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone and produced a ∼40-km-long surface rupture.

The Internal Structural Evolution of Calderas: Results from 3D Discrete Element Simulations

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
The structural evolution of calderas is a key issue in volcanology and has profound implications for hazard analysis and the exploitation of geothermal energy and hydrothermal ores.

Fault and magmatic interaction within Iceland's western rift over the last 9kyr [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We present high-resolution 'Chirp' sub-bottom profiler data from Thingvallavatn, a lake in Iceland's western rift zone. These data are combined with stratigraphic constraints from sediment cores to show that movement on normal faults since 9 ka are ...

Weak, Seismogenic Faults Inherited From Mesozoic Rifts Control Mountain Building in the Andean Foreland

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
New earthquake focal mechanism and centroid depth estimates show that the deformation style in the forelands of the Andes is spatially correlated with rift systems that stretched the South American lithosphere in the Mesozoic.

Modelling the effects of normal faulting on alluvial river meandering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The meandering of alluvial rivers may be forced by normal faulting due to tectonically altered topographic gradients of the river valley and channel at and near the fault zone.

Geomorphological insight into changing tectonic regime, Pasinler Basin, Turkey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The Pasinler Basin, in the East Anatolian Contractional Province, features a suite of geomorphological zones, visible in the field, air photographs and Landsat and SRTM DEM imagery. These zones reflect past and current tectonically influenced processes.

Predictive Faulting Models in Jointed Concrete Pavement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Faulting is a major and commonplace distress in Jointed Concrete Pavement (JCP), which can directly cause pavement roughness and adversely influence the ride quality of a vehicle.
