Cenozoic structural characteristics and petroleum geological significance of the Qaidam Basin
The Qaidam Basin is a Cenozoic continental basin formed by the subduction and collision between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate. It is the only large oil- and gas-bearing basin in China on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau.

Tectonic dynamics of the Zhongjiannan Basin in the western South China Sea since the late Miocene
The Zhongjiannan Basin is located west of the South China Sea (SCS) and was affected by the left-lateral strike-slip of the Red River Fault (RRF), the West Edge Fault of the South China Sea (WEFSCS) and the continental rifting of the South China Sea in ...

Fractal and Wada escape basins in the chaotic particle drift motion in tokamaks [PDF]
The ${\bf E}\times{\bf B}$ drift motion of particles in tokamaks provides valuable information on the turbulence-driven anomalous transport. One of the characteristic features of the drift motion dynamics is the presence of chaotic orbits for which the guiding center can experience large-scale drifts. If one or more exits are placed within that chaotic

Seismic characteristics of polygonal fault systems in the Great South Basin, New Zealand
A well-developed multi-tier polygonal fault system is located in the Great South Basin offshore New Zealand’s South Island. The system has been characterised using a high-quality three-dimensional seismic survey tied to available exploration boreholes ...

Structure of the western Somali Basin [PDF]
The western Somali Basin in the northwestern Indian Ocean is covered by thick deposits of terrigenous sediments. Seismic reflection profiles show, however, the northern and southern parts to be very different. The northern sections is a deep basin filled with thick uniformly stratified sediments. It is enclosed by the continental margin to the west and

Multiscale structure in sedimentary basins [PDF]
AbstractHierarchies of superimposed structures are found in maps of geological horizons in sedimentary basins. Mapping based on three‐dimensional (3D) seismic data includes structures that range in scale from tens of metres to hundreds of kilometres. Extraction of structures from these maps without a priori knowledge of scale and shape is analogous to ...

Base‐salt relief controls salt‐tectonic structural style, São Paulo Plateau, Santos Basin, Brazil
Base‐salt relief influences salt flow, producing three‐dimensionally complex strains and multiphase deformation within the salt and its overburden. Understanding how base‐salt relief influences salt‐related deformation is important to correctly interpret

The Laga basin: Stratigraphic and Structural Setting
Most of the ancient turbidite systems are known being deposited in foredeep basins at the front of active thrust belt. Differently from fluvio-deltaic systems generally lacated in the more internal portion of these basins, the turbidite systems occur at different depth in the more deeper portions of these basins (foredeep turbidite systems) or in the ...

On the structure of the Lofoten Basin Eddy [PDF]
A small anticyclonic eddy of extraordinary intensity sits in the center of the Lofoten Basin near 69°40′N, 3°E. This paper gives a first detailed description of its kinematics and lowest‐order dynamic balances. Using a 75 kHz vessel‐mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler, hydrography, and six RAFOS floats to probe the eddy, we document a solid body ...
