We present a new digital crustal model for Moho depth and crustal structure in Europe,
Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard, European Arctic shelf, and the North Atlantic Ocean (72W …

Continental transform faults are dominantly highly localized strike-slip shear zones
hundreds of kilometers long that accumulate tens to hundreds of kilometers of displacement …

Movements of tectonic plates often induce oblique deformation at divergent plate
boundaries. This is in striking contrast with traditional conceptual models of rifting and rifted …

Strain modeling shows that folds can form in transtension, particularly in simple shear-
dominated transtension. Folds that develop in transtension do not rotate toward the shear …

Sedimentary basins host, among others, most of our energy and fresh-water resources: they
can be regarded as large geo-reactors in which many physical and chemical processes …

The giant natural gas accumulation recently discovered within the (Neoproterozoic)
Dengying Formation in the Sichuan Basin of southwestern China represents a new and …

TOPO-EUROPE addresses the 4-D topographic evolution of the orogens and intra-plate
regions of Europe through a multidisciplinary approach linking geology, geophysics …

This chapter introduces the geodynamic processes that influence tectonic rift evolution and
rifted margin architecture. Continental rifts result from geodynamic processes that …

We describe 18 experiments on the formation of strike-slip fault systems in sand. All models
were in a rectangular box. A piston imparted strike-slip motion along a basal cut. In some …

The left-lateral strike–slip Dead Sea Fault Zone (DSFZ) extends from the Red Sea in the
south to the East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) in the north. This study examines the northern …
