Abstract:
Late Pleistocene displacement along the Lone Mountain fault suggests the Silver Peak-Lone Mountain (SPLM) extensional complex is an important structure in accommodating and transferring strain within the eastern California shear zone (ECSZ) and Walker Lane. Using geologic and geomorphic mapping, differential global positioning system surveys, and terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide (TCN) geochronology, we determined rates of extension across the Lone Mountain fault in western Nevada. The Lone Mountain fault is the northeastern component of the SPLM extensional complex, and is characterized by a ser

Abstract:
<p> The activity of the Ereen Uul fault and the Sanglin Dalai Nurr fault in central Mongolia has not been studied in detail. The Erren Uul fault is a normal fault located 45 km southeast from Harhorin and the Sanglin Dalai Nurr fault is a right-lateral strike-slip fault located 30 km south of Harhorin next to the Hangay Mountains. Remote sensing and field observations were used to refine a map by the Mongolian Geologic Survey at a scale of 1:1,000,000 to a scale of 1:100,000. This new map covers an area of 8,072 km<sup>2 </sup>. The basin asymmetry factor, stream length-gradient index, and

Abstract:
This research is an investigation into two different aspects of the faulting process. The first part of the study focuses on the initial stages of fault formation, while the second analyzes the deformation produced by an existing fault. The section on fault formation is an attempt to determine whether slip on an existing fault has a significant effect on the formation of subsequent faults. A two-dimensional elastic finite element technique is used to examine the system of stresses produced by slip on an initial fault, assuming that deformation occurs either elastically or by brittle failure.

Abstract:
Seismic-scale faults are generally associated with clusters of subresolution faults, and the issue of how to predict the latter's numbers and distribution has been the subject of much recent debate due to its bearing on accurate fault seal evalution. One important class of subseismic-scale faults are deformation bands, which are tabular shear zones commonly formed in reservoir-quality aeolian and fluvial sandstone successions. Relevant outcrop and oil field case studies suggest such structures can reduce host rock permeability by up to four orders of magnitude, yet there is little published in
