Inversion tectonics of the Variscan foreland of the British Isles

Journal of the Geological Society, 1996
Late Westphalian inversion structures on the Variscan foreland display wide variations in orientation that are the product of the underlying basement grain. The orientation of the major basement lineaments in relation to the direction of maximum shortening also determined the severity of deformation of the inverted basins.

Role of inversion tectonics in structural development of the Himalaya

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2010
Abstract Analysis of surface and subsurface structures, variation of shortening amounts obtained by restoration of deformed cross-sections, and occurrence of younger hangingwall rocks over the older footwall rocks across the Vaikrita Thrust in the Higher Himalaya suggests reactivation of early normal faults as thrusts.

Present-day stress field and tectonic inversion in the Pannonian basin

Global and Planetary Change, 2007
This paper presents a latest compilation of data on the present-day stress pattern in the Pannonian basin, and its tectonic environment, the Alpine-Dinaric orogens. Extensional formation of the basin system commenced in the early Miocene, whereas its structural reactivation, in the form of gradual basin inversion, has been taking place since Pliocene ...

A short note on the inversion of tectonic stress fields

Tectonophysics, 1983
Abstract Works on global and regional stress fields are briefly reviewed. Questions encountered in computing tectonic stress fields are listed as: the earth model, driving forces, distinguishing criteria and residual stress. For the linear elastic case, a scheme making use of the superposition principle and the method of least squares is described in

(Un)certainties in tectonic stylolite stress inversion

Over the last two decades application of stylolite roughness inversion has become a common tool to reconstruct paleostress-fields, stress magnitudes and burial depth. While the orientation of the highest principal stress is free of any doubt, there are uncertainties coming along with tectonic stylolite inversion that require a differentiated debate ...

Inversion tectonics on the continental margin east of Newfoundland

Geology, 1987
Industrial multichannel seismic data show a series of elongate sedimentary basins beneath the outer continental shelf east of Newfoundland. The basin sediments range in age from Carboniferous to Early Cretaceous; regional subsidence since the Late Cretaceous buried these basins under Cenozoic sediments.
