Complex strain partitioning and heterogeneous extension rates during early rifting in the East Shetland Basin, northern North Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The early stages of continental rifting are accommodated by the growth of upper crustal normal fault systems that are distributed relatively evenly across the rift width. Numerous fault systems define fault arrays, the ... -
Extensional Faulting Around Kolumbo Volcano, Aegean Sea—Relationships Between Local Stress Fields, Fault Relay Ramps, and Volcanism
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The Christiana-Santorini-Kolumbo (CSK) volcanic field has hosted more than 100 explosive eruptions in the past 250,000 years, including the 1650 CE eruption of Kolumbo Volcano. Previous studies have established a link ... -
From Caledonian collapse to North Sea Rift: The extended history of a metamorphic core complex
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Extensional systems evolve through different stages due to changes in the rheological state of the lithosphere. It is crucial to distinguish ductile structures formed before and during rifting, as both cases have important ... -
Influence of Zones of Pre-Existing Crustal Weakness on Strain Localization and Partitioning During Rifting: Insights From Analog Modeling Using High-Resolution 3D Digital Image Correlation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Pre-existing crustal structures are known to influence rifting, but the factors controlling their influence remain poorly understood. We present results of digital image correlation that allows for the surface strain ... -
Late-syn- to post-rift salt tectonics on wide rifted margins—Insights from geodynamic modeling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Rifted margins are often associated with widespread and thick evaporite (salt) deposits and pronounced salt tectonics. The largest salt basins formed during the latest stages of rifting, immediately prior to continental ... -
Mesozoic-Cenozoic regional stress field evolution in Svalbard
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Cooling fracture orientations in diabase sills associated with the Cretaceous High Arctic Large Igneous Province and syn‐sedimentary Triassic faults help constrain a model for Svalbard's (NE Barents Shelf) Mesozoic stress ... -
Normal Fault Kinematics and the Role of Lateral Tip Retreat: An Example From Offshore NW Australia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Understanding how normal faults grow is key to determining the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of rifts. According to recent studies, normal faults tend to grow in two temporally distinct stages: a lengthening stage, ... -
The Role of Subduction Interface and Upper Plate Strength on Back-Arc Extension: Application to Mediterranean Back-Arc Basins
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)While there has been a lot of work focusing on improving our understanding of divergent and convergent plate boundaries, the intricate nature of back-arc extension, where subduction and large-scale extension occur and ... -
Topological Characterization of a Fault Network Along the Northern North Sea Rift Margin
(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 ... -
Transition from Late-Miocene syn-orogenic extension to Plio-Pleistocene Corinth Rifting in the Southern Hellenides, Northern Peloponnese, Greece
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)This study investigates the Late Miocene to Pliocene transition from contractional to extensional tectonics in the upper plate of the Western Aegean retreating subduction system focusing on the Northern Peloponnese area, ... -
Wide Versus Narrow Back-Arc Rifting: Control of Subduction Velocity and Convective Back-Arc Thinning
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Back-arc basins such as the ones behind the island-arcs of the Western Pacific Ocean or the ones in the Mediterranean Sea are ubiquitous structures of the Earth. They are extensional basins forming in the overriding plate ...
