Full textThis study investigates the relationship between faulting, subsidence, and land loss in coastal Louisiana. A methodology that integrates 3D seismic data, well logs, high-resolution topographic mapping (LIDAR), and historical aerial photography is successfully developed to identify fault-related geomorphic changes in southwestern Louisiana’s Chenier Plain. Analysis of a 3D seismic survey and well logs reveals the presence of 10 normal faults that form an east-west graben in the middle of the study area. Well logs were used to further constrain the geometry of the faults. Shallow water well logs were used to map the faults at shallow depth, below the resolution of the seismic survey. Fault traces were extrapolated to the surface by maintaining constant dip, and projected on LIDAR data. Elevation profiles derived from the LIDAR were conducted across the different faults, and results show that there is a distinct difference between the upthrown and downthrown sides of the faults. Historical aerial photographs were used to investigate any change in geomorphology from 1953 to 2017 within the study area. Results reveal the occurrence of water bodies on the immediate downthrown sides of suspected fault traces. Our findings suggest that faulting influences and focuses areas where subsidence is happening and subsequent land loss may occur and detailed understanding of active shallow faulting in coastal area can be used to identify regions that are at risk of land loss.

Full textBased on the review of micromammals associations (Soricomorphs, Erinaceomorphs, Chiropters and Rodents) from several sites in southern France (Arago Cave, Lazaret Cave, Moula-Guercy cave) and from the study of an original deposit in south-west of the Iberian Peninsula (Maltravieso cave), the main aim of this work is to reconstruct the evolution of palaeoenvironments and palaeoclimates in southern Europe, during Middle Pleistocene between 600 and 130 ka BP. In order to assess the reliability of palaeoecological reconstructions, taphonomic analysis have been performed on micromammals bones, and have allowed to highlight the involvement of opportunistic and specialized owls in the originof accumulations. Palaeoecological analysis, based on the use of different types of methods, showed that the alternating glacial cycles, characterized by cold or cool climates and open spaces, and interglacial, more temperate with closed environments, had an essential impact on the distribution of micromammals species in southern Europe, in relation to geography and topography of each site. “Non-analogue” communities are identified, combining temperate and cold zones taxa, reflecting the role of refugia area of these regions. They also show that dispersal events have affected palaeobiodiversity during the Middle Pleistocene, particularly in the areas of maximum expansion of species during the glacial phases

Full textProminent growth faulting and sediment bypass influenced the thickness of Sherbrook Supersequence sediments south of the Mussel Fault Zone in the Voluta Trough. This study quantifies the geometry and kinematics of faults and sediment dispersal in the deep-water province of the Otway Basin, offshore Victoria. A 3D seismic reflection survey was used to investigate the geometries and origin of complex linked growth fault arrays present within the Upper Cretaceous Sherbrook Supersequence in the Voluta Trough area. Five horizons and 46 faults were mapped within the confines of the OS2-3D seismic reflection survey which encompasses a 773 km² area along the present-day shelf edge in the central Otway Basin, Victoria. The resulting geological framework consists of two NW striking listric hard-linked fault arrays, as well as two NNE striking fault arrays that are crosscut by the identified NW striking fault arrays. Isopach maps of four Upper Cretaceous stratal units indicate growth of all studied faults has controlled distribution of sediments temporally throughout the study area since the Turonian or earlier. Episodes of growth faulting created scoop shaped hanging-wall depocentres and caused SW-SE basinward thickening of stratal units. Isolated hanging-wall depocentres coalesced to form large combined depocentres in subsequent strata. Growth faults overlying basement faults underwent multiple separate phases of displacement and may have been activated preferentially. Cumulative displacement of major NW-SE striking fault arrays increases SE along strike, where growth strata reach thicknesses >1500 m. Lateral throw variations along strike of fault arrays imply fault arrays once consisted of individual faults that grew independently prior to linkage. Throw variations along depth of faults reveals up to 722 m of throw present within Turonian-Santonian and age strata, and suggests faults nucleated in response to an Upper Cretaceous phase of rifting proposed by previous studies of the Otway Basin. Differential compaction of sediment above basement-related topography may be an important factor influencing fault distribution within the study area.

A fault slip can cause the deformation of shallow soil layers and destroy infrastructures. The Shanchiao Fault on the west side of the Taipei Basin is one such fault. The activities of the Shanchiao Fault have caused the quaternary sediment beneath the Taipei Basin to become deformed, damaging structures, traffic construction, and utility lines in the area. Data on geological drilling and dating have been used to determine that a growth fault exists in the Shanchiao Fault. In an experiment, a sandbox model was built using noncohesive sandy soil to simulate the existence of a growth fault in the Shanchiao Fault and forecast the effect of the growth fault on shear-band development and ground differential deformation. The experimental results indicated that when a normal fault contains a growth fault at the offset of the base rock, the shear band develops upward beside the weak side of the shear band of the original-topped soil layer, and surfaces considerably faster than that of the single-topped layer. The offset ratio required is approximately one-third that of the single-cover soil layer. In this study, a numerical simulation of the sandbox experiment was conducted using a discrete element method program, PFC2D, to simulate the upper-covering sand layer shear-band development pace and the scope of a growth normal fault slip. The simulation results indicated an outcome similar to that of the sandbox experiment. According to the above test results, the Wuku profile geometric simulation model established in this study, the new hanging wall thickness H is 5/16 of the original thickness in every sedimentary strata of the growth normal fault. The simulation results show that the more average offset will lead the shear-band propagation reached close to the ground surface. The PCF2D program was used to create a model for simulating SCF-2 and WK-1E profiles and the shear-band propagation reached the particle surface in the final 2.5-m slip of this growth normal fault numerical model. The simulation results can be applied to the design of construction projects near fault zones.
