We present a discussion of the state-of-the-art on the use of discrete fracture networks
(DFNs) for modelling geometrical characteristics, geomechanical evolution and …

We discuss techniques to represent groundwater flow in carbonate aquifers using the three
existing modeling approaches: equivalent porous medium, conduit network, and discrete …

The thicknesses of fault rock and fault zones and the fault normal separations for breached
and intact relay zones each show a positive correlation with fault displacement. The …

Detailed kinematic analysis of a large (1800 m maximum displacement) reactivated normal
fault in the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand, has been conducted using high quality 3D seismic …

The increasing quality of geodetic data (synthetic aperture radar interferometry [insar] dense
Global Positioning System [gps] arrays) now available to geophysicists and geologists are …

Normal faults are often complex three-dimensional structures comprising multiple sub-
parallel segments separated by intact or breached relay zones. Relay zones are classified …

Vertical faults having both opening and vertical displacements are common in southwest
Iceland, and hypotheses vary regarding whether they propagated to the surface from below …

During the development of continental rifts, strain accommodation shifts from border faults to
intra-rift faults. This transition represents a critical process in the evolution of rift basins in the …

A methodology to assess the effects of structural heterogeneities below seismic resolution in
porous carbonate grainstones on reservoir performance during production is developed by …

Individual normal faults are rarely single planar surfaces and often comprise arrays of fault
segments arising from the earliest stages of fault propagation. Current models for the …
