Insights into Contractional Fault-Related Folding Processes Based on Mechanical, Kinematic, and Empirical Studies
This dissertation investigates contractional fault-related folding, an important mechanism of deformation in the brittle crust, using a range of kinematic and mechanical models and data from natural structures. Fault-related folds are found in a wide range of tectonic settings, including mountain b...
