    • Grain-Size Analysis of the Late Pleistocene Sediments in the Corinth Rift: Insights into Strait Influenced Hydrodynamics and Provenance of an Active Rift Basin 

      Kang, Wenjun; Li, Shunli; Gawthorpe, Rob; Ford, Mary; Collier, Richard E. Ll.; Yu, Xinghe; Janikian, Liliane; Nixon, Casey William; Hemelsdaël, Romain; Sergiou, Spyros; Gillespie, Jack; Pechlivanidou, Sofia; De Gelder, Gino (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Grain-size analysis of the sediments in borehole M0079A, which is located in the Corinth Rift, was used to explore hydrodynamic conditions and provenance in the Late Pleistcene Corinth Rift. Grain-size populations that ...

    • High-resolution record revealsclimate-driven environmental andsedimentary changes in an active rift 

      McNeill, Lisa C.; Shillington, D.J; Carter, Gareth; Everest, J.D.; Gawthorpe, Rob; Miller, C; Phillips, M.P.; Collier, Richard E.L.I.; Le Ber, E; Cvetkoska, A; De Gelder, G; Diz, P; Doan, M-L; Ford, Mary; Geraga, M; Gillespie, J; Hemelsdael, Romain; Herrero-Bervera, Emilio; Ismaiel, M; Janikian, L; Kouli, K.; Machlus, M.L; Maffione, Marco; Mahoney, C; Michas, G; Nixon, Casey William; Oflaz, S.A.; Omale, A.P.; Panagiotopoulos, K; Pechlivanidou, Sofia; Sauer, Simone; Seguin, Joana; Zakharova, N.V.; Green, S (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-28)
      Young rifts are shaped by combined tectonic and surface processes and climate, yet few records exist to evaluate the interplay of these processes over an extended period of early rift-basin development. Here, we present ...

    • Quantifying structural controls on fluid flow: Insights from carbonate-hosted fault damage zones on the Maltese Islands 

      Dimmen, Vilde; Rotevatn, Atle; Peacock, David; Nixon, Casey William; Nærland, Kari (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08)
      Structural complexity along faults (e.g., relay zones, fault intersections and jogs) exert strong controls on fluid flow, yet few attempts have been made to quantify and visualise such relationships. This paper does that ...

    • The relationship between fluid flow, structures, and depositional architecture in sedimentary rocks: An example-based overview 

      Dimmen, Vilde; Rotevatn, Atle; Nixon, Casey William (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Fluid flow in the subsurface is fundamental in a variety of geological processes including volcanism, metamorphism, and mineral dissolution and precipitation. It is also of economic and societal significance given its ...

    • Room-Scale CO2 Injections in a Physical Reservoir Model with Faults 

      Fernø, Martin; Haugen, Malin; Eikehaug, Kristoffer; Folkvord, Olav Parelius; Benali, Benyamine; Both, Jakub Wiktor; Storvik, Erlend; Nixon, Casey William; Gawthrope, R.L.; Nordbotten, Jan Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      We perform a series of repeated CO2 injections in a room-scale physical model of a faulted geological cross-section. Relevant parameters for subsurface carbon storage, including multiphase flows, capillary CO2 trapping, ...

    • Straight from the source's mouth: controls on field-constrained sediment export across the entire active Corinth Rift, central Greece 

      Watkins, Stephen; Whittaker, Alexander C.; Bell, Rebecca E.; Brooke, Sam; Ganti, Vamsi; Gawthorpe, Robert; McNeill, Lisa C.; Nixon, Casey William (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The volume and grain‐size of sediment supplied from catchments fundamentally control basin stratigraphy. Despite their importance, few studies have constrained sediment budgets and grain‐size exported into an active rift ...

    • Tipping the balance: Shifts in sediment production in an active rift setting 

      Pechlivanidou, Sofia; Cowie, Patience; Duclaux, Guillaume; Nixon, Casey William; Gawthorpe, Robert; Salles, Tristan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-06)
      Landscapes in actively developing rifts respond to tectonic forcing over a similar time scale to that of fault array evolution (i.e., 10^5–10^6 yr). Consequently transient landscapes (i.e., not in topographic steady state) ...

    • Topological Characterization of a Fault Network Along the Northern North Sea Rift Margin 

      Osagiede, Edoseghe Edwin; Nixon, Casey William; Gawthorpe, Rob; Rotevatn, Atle; Fossen, Haakon; Jackson, Christopher A.-L.; Tillmans, Fabian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The factors that control the spatial variation of the topological characteristics of normal fault networks at the rift-scale are poorly understood. Here, we use 3D seismic reflection data from the northern North Sea to ...
