Quantifying the slip rates, spatial distribution and evolution of active normal faults from geomorphic analysis: Field examples from an oblique-extensional graben, southern Turkey [PDF]
Quantifying the extent to which geomorphic features can be used to extract tectonic signals is a key challenge in the Earth Sciences. Here we analyse the drainage patterns, geomorphic impact, and long profiles of bedrock rivers that drain across and ...

Kinematics of Post-obduction Deformation of the Tertiary Ridge at Al-Khod Village (Muscat, Oman)
Structural investigations in post-obductional Paleocene to Eocene limestones of the Tertiary Ridge reveal a ~1 km long WNW-ESE striking strike-slip fault system within the ridge, consisting of two main sub-parallel, strike-slip faults.

Pull-apart basin formation and development in narrow transform zones with application to the Dead Sea Basin [PDF]
Contrary to other examples, like Death Valley, California, and the Sea of Marmara, Turkey, the Dead Sea-type pull-apart basins form within a narrow transform corridor between strike-slip faults that are less than 10 km apart, much smaller than the ...

Neotectonics of the Sumatran fault, Indonesia [PDF]
The 1900-km-long, trench-parallel Sumatran fault accommodates a significant amount of the right-lateral component of oblique convergence between the Eurasian and Indian/Australian plates from 10°N to 7°S.

Origin of gas condensate reservoir in Fuman Oilfield, Tarim Basin, NW China
To understand the reservoir property and hydrocarbon accumulation conditions of the Middle and Upper Ordovician intraplatform shoal between ultra-deep main strike-slip faults in Fuman Oilfield of the Tarim Basin, China, the main strike-slip faults in and

Kinematic and dynamic array of the alpine deformations in alto Tajo area (Guadalajara) [PDF]
The geological macrostructure of Alto Tajo is defined by several N1500E dextral strike-slip faults with related secundary structures. The former set of faults together with others N-S sinistral strike-slip faults delimited areas in transtension and ...

The 11 May 2011 earthquake at Lorca (SE Spain) viewed in a structural-tectonic context [PDF]
The Lorca earthquake of 11 May 2011 in the Betic Cordillera of SE Spain occurred almost exactly on the Alhama de Murcia fault, a marked fault that forms part of a NE-SW trending belt of faults and thrusts.
