The relation between tectonics and sedimentation along the 'Sillaro line' (Northern Apennines, Italy) [PDF]
The transverse 'Sillaro line' is merely the outcrop line of the north-west dipping overthrust plane of the Liguride Complex. The anti-Apenninic strike of this overthrust plane is the result of the 'Sillaro flexure', a large synsedimentarily developed ...

Tertiary tectonics and sedimentation history of the Sarawak basin, east Malaysia [PDF]
A seismic stratigraphic study of the regional lines for the offshore Sarawak area was undertaken with the aim of understanding the tectonics and sedimentation history of the hydrocarbon prolific Sarawak Basin.

Lithospheric strength variations in Mainland China: Tectonic implications [PDF]
We present a new thermal and strength model for the lithosphere of Mainland China. To this purpose, we integrate a thermal model for the crust, using a 3-D steady state heat conduction equation, with estimates for the upper mantle thermal structure ...

New Technology, New Tectonics? - On Architectural and Structural Expressions with Digital Tools [Elektronisk resurs] [PDF]
New digital tools are influencing the working methods and means of expression for architects and engineers. New technologies have made it possible to generate, handle and realise other kinds of forms and structures, and also started to change notions and

Exploration for Late Cretaceous turbidites in the Equatorial African and northeast South American margins [PDF]
The Suriname-Guyana and Ghana-Ivorian Basins exhibit strong geological similarities which are of interest from a petroleum exploration point of view. These include (1) a well-developed system of Late Cretaceous erosional canyons allowing coarse-grained ...

On the origin of the North Pacific arcs [PDF]
We present a new hypothesis that relates global plate tectonics to the formation of marginal basins, island arcs, spreading ridges and arc-shaped mountain belts around the North Pacific Ocean.

Present-day stress orientations and tectonic provinces of the NW Borneo collisional margin [PDF]
Extent: 15p.Borehole failure observed on image and dipmeter logs from 55 petroleum wells across the NW Borneo collisional margin were used to determine maximum horizontal stress (σH) orientations; combined with seismic and outcrop data, they define seven

Salt tectonics in pull-apart basins with application to the Dead Sea Basin [PDF]
The Dead Sea Basin displays a broad range of salt-related structures that developed in a sinistral strike-slip tectonic environment: en échelon salt ridges, large salt diapirs, transverse oblique normal faults, salt walls and rollovers.

Basin evolution and shale tectonics on an obliquely convergent margin: the Bahia Basin, offshore Colombian Caribbean [PDF]
Oblique convergent margins accumulate strike‐slip deformation that controls basin formation and evolution. The Bahia Basin is located offshore, proximal to major strike‐slip fault systems that affect northern Colombia.

Seismicity in strike-slip foreland faults (Central Betic Cordillera front): evidence of indentation tectonics [PDF]
Unexpected seismicity has been detected in the past few years along the northern Guadiana Menor River (Guadalquivir foreland basin) at the northern boundary of the Betic Cordillera.
