Deformation of continental crust along a transform boundary, Coast Mountains, British Columbia [PDF]
, 2010 New structural, paleomagnetic, and apatite (U-Th)/He results from the continental margin inboard of the Queen Charlotte fault (~54°N) delineate patterns of brittle faulting linked to transform development since ~50 Ma.

Episodic Lithospheric Deformation in Eastern Tibet Inferred From Seismic Anisotropy
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Mechanisms for uplift and deformation of the Tibetan Plateau remain vigorously debated; hypotheses include stepwise growth, distributed thickening, and crustal channel flow, each with a distinct anisotropic signature.

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

Deep ductile shear localization facilitates near-orthogonal strike-slip faulting in a thin brittle lithosphere [PDF]
, 2020 Some active fault systems comprise near-orthogonal conjugate strike-slip faults, as highlighted by the 2019 Ridgecrest and the 2012 Indian Ocean earthquake sequences.

Determination of surface shear stress with the naphthalene sublimation technique [PDF]
Aeolian entrainment and transport are functions of surface shear stress and particle characteristics. Measuring surface shear stress is difficult, however, where logarithmic wind profiles are not found, such as regions around large roughness elements. An

Simulating spatial and temporal evolution of multiple wing cracks around faults in crystalline basement rocks [PDF]
, 2007 Fault zones are structurally highly spatially heterogeneous and hence extremely complex. Observations of fluid flow through fault zones over several scales show that this structural complexity is reflected in the hydrogeological properties of faults ...

Frictional behavior of talc-calcite mixtures [PDF]
, 2015 Faults involving phyllosilicates appear weak when compared to the laboratory-derived strength of most crustal rocks. Among phyllosilicates, talc, with very low friction, is one of the weakest minerals involved in various tectonic settings.
