Bed parallel slip and paleostress analysis of the Kodki fault zone, Kachchh, Western India
Quaternary Science Advances, 2023 The Kodki fault zone comprises a unique fault system along the Median High (MH) zone in the Kachchh Mainland Uplift (KMU) region of the Kachchh Rift Basin (KRB).

Morphological analysis of stylolites for paleostress estimation in limestones [PDF]
International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Minings Sciences, 2014 International audienceWe develop and test a methodology to infer paleostress from the morphology of stylolites within borehole cores. This non-destructive method is based on the analysis of the stylolite trace along the outer cylindrical surface of the ...

Stress dynamics associated with the Nyasa / Malawi rift: Implication for the present-day East African Rift System dynamics. [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 The Nyasa/Malawi rift (NMR), known for its poor magma and notable seismic activity, has sparked a debate regarding its stress kinematics. It is on one hand viewed as a transform fault, while on other hand as a rift structure characterized by normal ...

Minerals (Basel, Switzerland), 2022 This research assessed stress regimes and fields in eastern Iran using fault-slip data and the tectonic events associated with these changes. Our stress analysis of the brittle structures in the Shekarab Mountains revealed significant changes in stress regimes from the late Cretaceous to the Quaternary.

Post-Miocene tectonics of the Northern Calcareous Alps. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 The Late Cretaceous orogeny followed by the Eocene collision of the Adriatic with the European plate dissected the Northern Calcareous Alps (NCA) by a number of well-studied strike-slip fault systems accommodating N-S shortening and E-W stretching ...

Paleostress analysis of the volcanic margins of Yemen [PDF]
Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2010 The western part of Yemen is largely covered by Tertiary volcanics and is bounded by volcanic margins to the west (Red Sea) and the south (Gulf of Aden). The oligo-miocene evolution of Yemen results from the interaction between the emplacement of the Afar plume, the opening of the Red Sea and the westward propagation of the Gulf of Aden. Structural and
