Deconvoluting complex structural histories archived in brittle fault zones
Brittle deformation can saturate the Earth's crust with faults and fractures in an apparently
chaotic fashion. The details of brittle deformational histories and implications on, for …

Constraints upon fault zone properties by combined structural analysis of virtual outcrop models and discrete fracture network modelling
The permeability structure of a fault zone is strongly dependent on the occurrence of meso-
scale fracture patterns within the damage zone. Here, structural analyses of Virtual Outcrop …

Hot versus cold orogenic behavior: Comparing the Araçuaí‐West Congo and the Caledonian orogens
Observations and modeling show that temperature controls crustal rheology and therefore
also the orogenic evolution of continent‐continent collision zones and the associated …

Multiscale lineament analysis and permeability heterogeneity of fractured crystalline basement blocks
The multiscale analysis of lineament patterns helps define the geometric scaling laws and

The inheritance of a Mesozoic landscape in western Scandinavia
In-situ weathered bedrock, saprolite, is locally found in Scandinavia, where it is commonly
thought to represent pre-Pleistocene weathering possibly associated with landscape …
