In the context of rift basin formation, structural inheritance describes the influence of pre-
existing structures on new rift-related structures, including faults. Pre-existing structures in …

In the Main Ethiopian Rift (East Africa) a complex tectonic history preceded Tertiary rifting
creating pre-existing discontinuities that influenced extension-related deformation …

Abstract The northern North Sea rift evolved through multiple rift phases within a highly
heterogeneous crystalline basement. The geometry and evolution of syn‐rift depocenters …

We present crustal scale physical analogue models of multiphase rifting to provide new
constraints on the role exerted by faults formed during early extension on structures …

The role of inherited structures during the development of normal faults in continental rifts
and proximal domains of passive margins have been extensively studied. Few studies …

The groundwork for the northeast Atlantic opening was laid during the latest Jurassic to mid-
Cenozoic. The period is well-investigated on the Norwegian and UK continental margins at …

The origin of the Exmouth and Dampier Sub-basins in the inner rift system of the North West
Shelf, Australia, remain poorly understood, despite intensive industrial exploration for more …

In multi-phase rift basins, the links between fault activities and sequence stratigraphic
architectures are still poorly understood compared to single-rift basins. The purpose of this …

Compared to first rift phase (RP1) or single rift basins, the relationship between fault
behaviours and depositional architecture during the second rift phase (RP2) remains …

Mesoscale (tens of kilometers) curved faults are a common fault geometry in plan view.
These types of faults are commonly hydrocarbon traps or sand body controlling faults that …
