Experimental modelling applied to the study of orogenic wedge dynamics has been a
subject of fruitful research for more than 30years, although the technique dates back as far …

We present a review of the analogue modelling method, which has been used for 200 years,
and continues to be used, to investigate geological phenomena and geodynamic processes …

Analog sandbox models have been set up to study the impact of syntectonic erosion on
thrust wedges with one and two décollement levels. Different accretion mechanisms are …

The deformed margin of the Laurentian craton, preserved within the Appalachian-
Caledonide Orogen, is one of Earth's best studied ancient continental margins. Within the …

The Zagros fold-thrust belt in the Kurdistan region of Iraq encroached southward toward a
rapidly subsiding Neogene foreland basin and was later partitioned by out-of-sequence …

This study provides new insight for kinematic restoration in the thrust nappe and the effect of
tectonic evolution on shale gas preservation was demonstrated in a case study from the …

Contractional deformation in the outer parts of fold‐and‐thrust belts is in part controlled by
the presence of syntectonic sediments and multiple décollements (eg, the Apennines, the …

Due to the unique location of the Quebec Appalachians in a re-entrant of the paleo-North
American margin and to the fact that the area largely escaped late Paleozoic deformation …

Indian basement faults, which bound three orogen-perpendicular palaeotopographic ridges
of Precambrian Indian basement south of the Himalaya, extend to the base of the Indian …

Particle‐based numerical simulations of cohesive contractional wedges can yield important
perspectives on the formation and evolution of fold and thrust belts, offering particular …
