Complex fault system revealed by 3-D seismic reflection data with deep learning and fault network analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Understanding where normal faults are located is critical for an accurate assessment of seismic hazard; the successful exploration for, and production of, natural (including low-carbon) resources; and the safe subsurface ... -
Control of increased sedimentation on orogenic fold-and-thrust belt structure-insights into the evolution of the Western Alps
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-13)We use two-dimensional thermomechanical models to investigate the potential role of rapid filling of foreland basins in the development of orogenic foreland fold-and-thrust belts. We focus on the extensively studied example ... -
Fault-controlled fluid circulation and diagenesis along basin-bounding fault systems in rifts - Insights from the East Greenland rift system
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-05)In marine rift basins, deep-water clastics (>200 m) in the hanging wall of rift- or basin-bounding fault systems are commonly juxtaposed against crystalline “basement” rocks in the footwall. A distinct feature of such fault ... -
Frictional properties and microstructural evolution of dry and wet calcite-dolomite gouges
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Calcite and dolomite are the two most common minerals in carbonate-bearing faults and shear zones. Motivated by observations of exhumed seismogenic faults in the Italian Central Apennines, we used a rotary-shear apparatus ... -
Overprinting translational domains in passive margin salt basins: insights from analogue modelling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-02)Current models of gravitational tectonics on the structural styles of salt-influenced passive margins typically depict domains of upslope extension and corresponding downslope contraction separated by a mid-slope domain ... -
Structure and kinematics of an extensional growth fold, Hadahid Fault System, Suez Rift, Egypt
(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 ...
