Basement structure and its influence on the structural configuration of the northern North Sea rift
Fazli Khani, Hamed; Fossen, Haakon; Gawthorpe, Robert; Faleide, Jan Inge; Bell, Rebecca E. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-06)The northern North Sea rift basin developed on a heterogeneous crust comprising structures inherited from the Caledonian orogeny and Devonian postorogenic extension. Integrating two‐dimensional regional seismic reflection ... -
Complex strain partitioning and heterogeneous extension rates during early rifting in the East Shetland Basin, northern North Sea
Claringbould, Johan S; Bell, Rebecca E.; Jackson, Christopher A.L.; Gawthorpe, Robert; Odinsen, Tore (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 ... -
Direct image-to-geometry registration using mobile sensor data
Kehl, Christian; Buckley, Simon John; Gawthorpe, Robert; Viola, Ivan; Howell, John Anthony (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Adding supplementary texture and 2D image-based annotations to 3D surface models is a useful next step for domain specialists to make use of photorealistic products of laser scanning and photogrammetry. This requires a ... -
Sediment dispersal and redistributive processes in axial and transverse deep-time source-to-sink systems of marine rift basins: Dampier Sub-basin, Northwest Shelf, Australia
Chen, Hehe; Wood, Lesli J.; Gawthorpe, Robert (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Morphological scaling relationships between source‐to‐sink segments have been widely explored in modern settings, however, deep‐time systems remain difficult to assess due to limited preservation of drainage basins and ... -
Spatial and temporal variations in minibasin geometry and evolution in salt tectonic provinces: Lower Congo Basin, offshore Angola
Ge, Zhiyuan; Gawthorpe, Robert; Zijerveld, Leo; Oluboyo, Ayodeji P. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In passive margin salt basins, the distinct kinematic domains of thin‐skinned extension, translation and contraction exert important controls on minibasin evolution. However, the relationship between various salt minibasin ... -
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 ... -
Structural evolution of sheared margin basins: the role of strain partitioning. Sørvestsnaget Basin, Norwegian Barents Sea
Kristensen, Thomas Berg; Rotevatn, Atle; Marvik, Maria; Henstra, Gijs Allard; Gawthorpe, Robert; Ravnås, Rodmar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Spatio-temporal analysis of basins formed along sheared margins has received much less attention than those formed along orthogonally extended margins. Knowledge about the structural evolution of such basins is important ... -
Structure and kinematics of an extensional growth fold, Hadahid Fault System, Suez Rift, Egypt
Jackson, Christopher A.-L.; Whipp, Paul S.; Gawthorpe, Robert; Lewis, Matthew M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Normal faulting drives extensional growth folding of the Earth's upper crust during continental extension, yet we know little of how fold geometry relates to the structural segmentation of the underlying fault. We use field ... -
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) ... -
Transient landscape and stratigraphic responses to drainage integration in the actively extending central Italian Apennines
Geurts, Anna Helena; Whittaker, Alexander C.; Gawthorpe, Robert; Cowie, Patience (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Drainage networks in continental rifts are generally reported as dynamic features that produce transitions between endorheic and exorheic conditions. While this is of major importance for landscape development, sediment ...
