Journal ArticleDOI
Finite-element modelling of pull-apart basin formation
TL;DR: In this article, a finite-element modeling study of pull-apart basin formation related to left-stepping left lateral strike-slip faults is presented, which quantifies the relationship between fault geometry (i.e., fault overlap and separation) and basin formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scales of Heterogeneities in the Continental Crust and Upper Mantle
TL;DR: A seismological characterization of crust and upper mantle can refer to large-scale averages of seismic velocities or to fluctuations of elastic parameters as mentioned in this paper, and large is understood here relative to the wavelength used to probe the earth.
Journal ArticleDOI
The transfer function for P-waves for a system consisting of a point source in a layered medium
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of a point source in a layered crust on the spectrum of P-waves observed at large distances in the half space is studied. But the authors focus on the transfer function of point sources in a multilayered medium over a homogeneous half-space.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical evaluation of deep crustal reflections in Germany
Gerhard P. Dohr,Karl Fuchs +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the appearance of deep crustal reflections differs considerably from that of reflections from shallow sedimentary beds, and the reflection times display quite a scatter, even over small areas, and in many cases the reflected signal is typically broadened to continue over a few cycles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress maps in a minute: The 2004 world stress map release
Oliver Heidbach,Andreas Barth,Peter Connolly,Karl Fuchs,Brigit Müller,Mark Tingay,John Reinecker,Blanka Spencer,F. Wenzel +8 more
TL;DR: The World Stress Map (WSM) project as mentioned in this paper has been compiling a free and public database of contemporary crustal stress information since 1986, which is used for understanding geodynamic processes, seismic hazard assessment, the stability of tunnels, improving hydrocarbon production, safe subsurface disposal of waste and greenhouse gases, and geothermal power production.
