Timing and rate of global contraction on Mercury
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 Impact bombardment and global contraction due to planetary cooling have both shaped the surface of Mercury over very long time scales. Landforms associated with these processes, i.e., impact craters and thrust fault‐related escarpments, and their mutual ...

Contractional kink bands formed by stress deflection along pre-existing anisotropies? Examples from the Anglo-Brabant Deformation Belt (Belgium) and the North Dobrogea Orogen (Romania) [PDF]
, 2008 Kink bands within two slate belts, the Anglo-Brabant Deformation Belt (Belgium) and the North Dobrogea Orogen (Romania), reveal similar problems with respect to linking kink band geometries to expected palaeostress directions.

Processing seismic data with used geographical information systems in Jelšava. [PDF]
Acta Montanistica Slovaca, 2005 Computer based data processing and interpretation become an essential part of present-days. Geographic information systems (GIS) should be taken as one of the most significant part of human activity control process and should be accepted as a base of ...

Structural Geology of the Škocjan Caves
Acta Carsologica, 2009 The Škocjan Caves are developed inside 300 m thick column of Cretaceous and Paleocene limestones. Most of the underground Reka River flows within the 130 m thick Lipica Formation (K2 4-5).

Evidence from Rb–Sr mineral ages for multiple orogenic events in the Caledonides of Shetland, Scotland [PDF]
, 2015 Shetland occupies a unique central location within the North Atlantic Caledonides. Thirty-three new high-precision Rb–Sr mineral ages indicate a polyorogenic history.

Dilatant normal faulting in jointed cohesive rocks: a physical model study [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2016 Dilatant faults often form in rocks containing pre-existing joints, but the effects of joints on fault segment linkage and fracture connectivity are not well understood.

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2011 Structural geology and continental tectonics were ushered in to the modern quantitative age of geosciences with the arrival of the global plate tectonics paradigm (circa 1968), derived using new data from the oceans' depths, and John Ramsay's 1967 seminal work, Folding and Fracturing of Rocks.

Earthquake geology: science, society and critical facilities
Annals of Geophysics, 2014 Earthquake geology studies the effects, the mechanics and the impacts of earthquakes in the geological environment. Its role is also to decode the fault history, therefore its approach is fault specific and its outcomes are of decisive value for seismic ...
