Brittle faults and fault zones are important fluid flow conduits through the upper part of Earth’s crust that are involved in many well-known phenomena (e.g. earthquakes, thermal water and gas transport, or water leakage to underground tunnels). The permeability property, or the ability of po...
The Balcones Fault Zone consists of mostly normal en-echelon faults with as much as 300m of displacement striking northeast鈥搒outhwest and dipping down toward the Gulf of Mexico. It forms the Contributing, Recharge, and Artesian zones of the aquifer. Karst characteristics of the Edwards ...

The fault zones in the Shunbei and Tuofutai regions were interpreted based on a 3-D seismic dataset. The Shunbei and Tuofutai regions of the central Tarim Basin have more than 50 wells in a 2500 km2 area. Our synthesis and interpretation have important implications in terms of understanding...
Indeed, with the burgeoning presence of human settlements in historically disaster-prone zones, such as floodplains, coastal areas and on geological faults (so-called earthquake “hot-spots”), the risks of loss and destruction have increased commensurately. 的确,随着人类居住点在历史上自然灾害易发...
The Euphrates fault zone is one of the most noticeable fault zones in Iraq formed by the Najdorogeny(Pre-Cambrian). It runs from the Rutba area in west Iraq and continues south along the Euphrates River. It forms an expressive linear feature across Iraqi territory for ∼600km and is clear...
the Salt Wells Valley and Paxton Ranch fault zones, located north of the Garlock Fault and east of the Sierra Nevada where the southern Walker Lane meets the Eastern California Shear Zone28(ECSZ; Fig.1). Right-lateral shear deformation likely initiated in the Walker Lane and ECSZ ~6–12 ...
The locking degree and slip deficit are higher in the western segment (with an average of about 0.74 and 1.1 mm/a) and lower in the eastern segment. Then, we construct a strain rate field using GPS observations to analyze the regional strain characteristics. The results indicate that along ...
Furthermore, each AHU serves five thermal zones that have dedicated thermal units that use the hot water produced by the boiler plant. Sensors and valves are also utilized to control water flow. This dataset contains 17 subsets, of which one is fault-free and 16 faulty variants. Each subset...
exhumed brittle–ductile shear zones. A range of seismological observations in compressional–transpressional settings are compatible with this hypothesis. There is a tendency for large crustal earthquakes to be associated with extensive (L ~ 100–200 km) low-velocity zones in the lower ...
