We examine the role of basin-shortening on the development of structural compartments in passive margin basins. A coupled flow-deformation model is used to follow the evolution of an idealized prismatic basin during lateral shortening. This includes

We use a new, mechanically based volumetric structural restoration tool to investigate the mechanics of fault-related folding using natural examples imaged in three-dimensional (3-D) seismic data. The restoration technique is based on a finite elemen

We use critical-taper wedge mechanics theory to show that the Niger Delta toe-thrust system deforms above a very weak basal detachment induced by high pore-fluid pressure. The Niger Delta exhibits similar rock properties but an anomalously low taper

The deep-water Niger Delta includes two large fold and thrust belts, products of contraction caused by gravity-driven extension on the shelf that exhibit complex styles of thrusting. These contractional structures formed above multiple detachment lev

Through the use of seismic reflection profiles, satellite images, and balanced kinematic models, we describe patterns that help to identify imbricate structures and define the sequence of thrusting in fold-and-thrust belts. Measures of folding shear

New digital mapping of over 65,000 wrinkle ridges of the plains of Venus shows a strong correlation between the location and orientation of these long, low-amplitude compressive anticlines and major features of the geoid and long-wavelength topograph

The very high correlation of geoid height and topography on Venus, along with the high geoid topography ratio, can be interpreted as local isostatic compensation and/or dynamic compensation of topography at depths ranging from 50 to 350 km. For local

We employ powerful stereoscopic methods with satellite imagery to obtain surface bedding attitude measurements. These data are used to constrain geologic structures in three dimensions using quantitative structural models. We document a numerical met
