32 Orogenic systems, including their external fold-and-thrust belts and foreland basin 33
systems, generally evolve from the inversion and imbrication of former continental margins …

Defining the structural style of fold–thrust belts and understanding the controlling factors are
necessary steps towards prediction of their long-term and short-term dynamics, including …

Fold-and-thrust belts are structural features that accommodate upper-crustal shortening by
the growth of a series of thrust faults and folds. Recent studies show that a better …

Defining the structural style of fold-and-thrust belts is an important step for understanding the
factors that control their long-and short-term dynamics, for comprehending seismic hazard …

The four‐part districting scheme (wedge‐top, foredeep, forebulge, and backbulge
depozones) applies to many foreland basin systems worldwide, but significant variations …

The presence of pre-existing rheological heterogeneities in the lithosphere plays a
significant role during subsequent stages of deformation in essentially every geological …

Aesthetically appealing thrust systems and related large-scale anticlines, in both active and
fossil foreland fold-and-thrust belts, and the economic potential associated with them, have …

The link between orogenic activity and foreland basin stratigraphy is well established;
however, potential controls by foreland basin stratigraphy on thrust belt architecture have not …

Abstract Fold-and-thrust (FAT) belts occur worldwide and have long been the focus of
research of structural geologists who have devised a variety of techniques to image …
