Understanding the manner and degree to which topography in active mountain ranges
reflects deformation of the Earth's surface remains a first order goal of tectonic�…

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�…

The interpretation of fault kinematics from geometric data is an essential step in developing
an understanding of the growth of fault systems. Constraints on fault geometry are, however�…

Pre-existing structures within crystalline basement may exert a significant influence over the
evolution of rifts. However, the exact manner in which these structures reactivate and thus�…

We argue that by fracturing rock, not by raising it relative to base level, tectonics plays its
most important role in causing rapid incision of valleys and rapid erosion of hillslopes�…

The geometry, kinematics and rates of active extension in Lazio–Abruzzo, Italian Apennines,
have been measured in order to gain a better understanding of the spatial and temporal�…

Recent earthquakes have shown that fault interaction can affect rupture sequences.
However, few criteria are currently available to determine which fault segments are strongly�…

Normal faults grow via synchronous increase in displacement and length ('propagating fault
model', also known as the 'isolated fault model'), or by rapid length establishment and�…

Abstract The Lower Jurassic–Cenomanian successions of Mexico can be grouped into two
different tectono-stratigraphic systems that were developed under the influence of two�…

Abstract The Permian to early Triassic terrestrial successions in the Mahu sag constrain the
tectonic evolution of northwestern edge of the Junggar basin. This study analyzes the�…
