Quantification of mass transfers and mineralogical transformations in a thrust fault (Monte Perdido thrust unit, southern Pyrenees, Spain) [PDF]

Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2014
In fold-and-thrust belts, shortening is mainly accommodated by thrust faults which are preferential zones for recrystallisation and mass transfer. This study focuses on a detachment fault related to the emplacement of the Monte Perdido thrust unit in ...

Southwest extension of dextral transpression along the Burnsville fault into the Clyde 7.5-minute quadrangle, western North Carolina, USA

Journal of Maps, 2020
The Neoacadian Burnsville fault is a dextral transpressional structure exposed in western North Carolina. Bedrock geologic mapping in the Clyde 7.5-minute quadrangle documents the fault an additional ∼40 km southwest than previously mapped.

Fluid Dynamics in a Thrust Fault Inferred from Petrology and Geochemistry of Calcite Veins: An Example from the Southern Pyrenees

Geofluids, 2020
Petrographic and geochemical analyses (δ18O, δ13C, 87Sr/86Sr, clumped isotopes, and elemental composition) coupled with field structural data of synkinematic calcite veins, fault rocks, and host rocks are used to reconstruct the episodic evolution of an ...

Active folding of fluvial terraces across the Siwaliks Hills, Himalayas of central Nepal [PDF]

, 2000
We analyze geomorphic evidence of recent crustal deformation in the sub-Himalaya of central Nepal, south of the Kathmandu Basin. The Main Frontal Thrust fault (MFT), which marks the southern edge of the sub-Himalayan fold belt, is the only active ...

Study of overthrust nappe structure and its geodynamic mechanism along the southeastern margin of Nansha Trough

China Geology, 2018
: On the basis of interpretation of comprehensive geophysical data and foreign data analysis, there existed a lot of overburden detachment shear thrust faults along the southeastern margin of Nansha Trough, which composed imbricated overthrust nappe ...

On the growth of normal faults and the existence of flats and ramps along the El Asnam active fold and thrust system [PDF]

, 1992
The combination of detailed topographic leveling on the southwest segment of the El Asnam thrust fault with existing seismic and geologic data implies that the geometry of this fault involves shallow dipping flats and steep ramps. The fault appears to be

Fault Slip and Exhumation History of the Willard Thrust Sheet, Sevier Fold‐Thrust Belt, Utah: Relations to Wedge Propagation, Hinterland Uplift, and Foreland Basin Sedimentation [PDF]

, 2019
Zircon (U‐Th)/He (ZHe) and zircon fission track thermochronometric data for 47 samples spanning the areally extensive Willard thrust sheet within the western part of the Sevier fold‐thrust belt record enhanced cooling and exhumation during major thrust ...

Geological Structure of the Sylmar Basin: Implications for Slip Distribution Along the Santa Susana/Hospital and Mission Hills Fault System in the San Fernando Valley, CA, U.S.A.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
We developed a forward model using the Trishear module in MOVE to better understand the structure of the northwestern San Fernando Valley and the relationship among the Santa Susana, Hospital, Mission Hills and Northridge Hills faults.

Estimation of the Rupture History of the 2008 Mw8.0 Wenchuan Earthquake by Joint Inversion of Teleseismic and Strong-Motion Records

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020
In order to reproduce the rupture history of the 2008 Mw8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, the teleseismic and strong-motion records are adopted. Based on a multiple-segment, variable-slip model, the finite fault inversion method is utilized to recover the rupture

Research on the Ability of Geodetic Records to Explain the Slip Distribution of Wenchuan, China, Earthquake

Geofluids, 2022
We establish a reasonable 3D complex fault model. The Global Positioning System (GPS) data is adopted to reproduce the slip distribution of the 2008 Mw7.9 Wenchuan earthquake.
