The Sulaiman Fold Thrust (SFT) in Central Pakistan formed during the India-Eurasia collision late Cenozoic. However, mechanics of shortening brittle crust at time scales seismic cycles is still poorly understood. Here, we use radar interferometry to analyze deformation associated with 2015 magnitude (Mw) 5.7 Dajal blind earthquake eastern boundary SFT. We kinematic inversions determine distribu...

The discipline of structural geology is taking an advantage compiling observations from multiple field sites to comprehend the bigger picture and constrain region's geological evolution. In this study we demonstrate how integration a range geospatial digital data sets that relate Paleogene fault thrust belt exposed in high Arctic Archipelago Svalbard, used teaching bachelor-level courses at Uni...

Abstract Cross sections carry information on the spatial distribution of rock strata and development geological structures, it is an important data source for three-dimensional (3D) modeling. However, interpretation mapping structures in by means manual are inefficient costly, performance varies greatly with experts’ ability experience. The objective this article to develop automatic recognitio...

The subsurface and surface structural geometries of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) fold-and-thrust belt (FTB) foreland basins are interpreted from seismic, well data, geology. Twelve horizons ranging in age Miocene to Lower Jurassic were mapped. Additionally, we outlined extent Sumeini Hawasina allochthonous nappes. tectonic subsidence curves suggest that final major passive margin rifting even...

This report presents the final results from this contract to analyze the seismicity of the Yakima Fold and Thrust Belt (YFTB) region, Washington (Figure 1). The contract work involved the following: Apply conventional seismic tomography, using the public domain code simul2000 (Thurber and Eberhart-Phillips, 1999), to the YFTB region (121.25°W to 117.5°W and 45.5°N to 47.5°N) dataset of approxim...

Abstract This study aims to analyze the lineaments using field data and a remote sensing approach, describe their relationship with folds, faults, regional tectonic stress of central Sulaiman Fold-Thrust Belt. Joint data, from nine anticlines, has been collected scanline method classified into three sets (JS1, JS2, JS3) based on geometrical relationships. Lineaments extracted 30 m digital eleva...
