Compressional inversion of former extensional sedimentary basins is a particularly common
phenomenon, given that passive margins share the same destiny of being subsequently …

Abstract The Himalayan Orogen consists of two rock packages that parallel the topographic
trend of the mountain belt between the eastern and western syntaxes. To avoid confusion …

Salt tectonics is the study of how and why salt structures evolve and the three-dimensional
forms that result. A fascinating branch of geology in itself, salt tectonics is also vitally …

Field studies frequently emphasize how fault reactivation is involved in the deformation of
the upper crust. However, this phenomenon is generally neglected (except in inversion …

We use scaled experimental (analog) models to investigate how the properties of a
population of pre-existing normal faults influence fault development during a subsequent …

Basin inversion involves the reversal of subsidence in a basin due to compressional tectonic
forces, leading to uplift of the basin's sedimentary infill. A thorough understanding of basin …

Tectonic inheritance deals with the influence of pre-existing or pre-rift elements on the
geometry, genesis and propagation of rift-related faults. Inheritance strongly controls the …

A series of analogue models have been performed to get insights into the relationships
between the reactivation of pre-existing normal faults and the orientation of a successive …

La dorsal neuquina es un lineamiento estructural de escala regional desarrollado a los
39ºS, que se extiende por más de 270 km con orientación EO, marcando el límite natural …

One of the long-standing enigmas for lunar tectonic-thermal evolution is the spatiotemporal
association of contractional wrinkle ridges and basaltic volcanism in a compressional …
