Recent advances are reviewed in the understanding of the geometry and development of
steep, planar normal faults with up to hundreds of meters throw in multilayered sedimentary …

Integration of new data with existing information indicates that the tectonic development of
the passive margin of eastern North America between the Carolina Trough and Scotian …

In this paper we determine the structure and evolution of a normal fault system by applying
qualitative and quantitative fault analysis techniques to a 3D seismic reflection dataset from …

Abstract The China–Mongolia border region contains many late Mesozoic extensional
basins that together constitute a regionally extensive basin system. Individual basins within …

Rift-basin stratigraphy commonly records an early stage of slow subsidence followed by an
abrupt increase in subsidence rate. The physical basis for this transition is not well …

Rift basins are complex features defined by several large-scale structural components
including faulted margins, the border faults of the faulted margins, the uplifted flanks of the …

The Fucino Basin was the greatest lake of the central Italy, which was completely drained at
the end of 19th century. The basin is an intramontane half-graben filled by Plio–Quaternary …

We use clay models to simulate how fault population systematics vary as a function of rift
obliquity. Rift obliquity is related to the acute angle, α, between the rift trend and the …

Seismic reflection data across six boundary faults from east Africa have revealed information
about the way boundary faults develop with respect to the synkinematic basin fill. Previous …

Depth-uniform stretching is not the dominant deformation process for thinning continental
lithosphere leading to breakup; it cannot explain the observed depth-dependent lithosphere …
