HOW DOES A VISCOUS LAYER AFFECT THE MECHANICS AND KINEMATICS OF ACCRETIONARY WEDGES?Pas to quantify their influence on the wedge kinematics and the development of the detachment.WENK, LindaOpen Session Structural Geology & Tectonics
Consequently, accurate laboratory simulations of the energetics of deformation within crustal accretionary wedges require careful scaling of the stiffness and slip weakening distance. Preceding thrust fault development at both the laboratory and crustal scale, the internal work consumes the largest portion ...
