A thirsty fault: prolonged fluid flow along the Helmsdale Fault Matteo Demurtas Within syn-rift basins, the juxtaposition of rift-related clastic deposits in the hanging wall of basin-bounding normal faults against crystalline basement is a recurrent structural setting where plays can …
Taking a Closer Look at Mass-transport complexes (MTCs): Their Dynamics and Architecture Harya Nugraha Mass-transport complexes (MTCs) are common features in deep-marine environments. Their emplacement can catastrophically displace sediment to continental slope and basin floor, and have a direct impact …
