Fault Kinematics Along the Coastal Plain of South Louisiana: Implications for Tectono-Climatic-Induced Deformation Along a Passive Continental Margin

Kinematic analysis of faults along the northern coastal plain of the Gulf of Mexico shows a correlation between pulses of faulting during the late Cenozoic and changes in the tectonic and climatic settings acting on the source areas which provide sediments to the Gulf. Pulses of faulting during the...
