A thin-shell program for modeling neotectonics of regional or global lithosphere with faults. Influence of fore-arc structure on the extent of great subduction zone earthquakes. 1994: Effects of multiple phase transitions in a three-dimensional spherical model of convection in Earth's mantle. 2000: Role of temperaturedependent viscosity and surface plates in spherical shell models of mantle con...

During the last stages of the Weichselian glaciation (ca. 9,000–15,000 years B.P.), reduced ice loads and glacially affected stress fields resulted in active faulting in Fennoscandia with fault scarps up to 160 km long and up to 30m high. These postglacial (PG) faults are usually SE dipping, SW–NE oriented thrusts, and represent reactivated, pre-existing crustal discontinuities. Postglacial fau...

We present the effect of neotectonics in intracratonic settings as revealed by surface, brittle deformation associated to a regionally-sized shear corridor, which affects Southeastern Brazil. The zone is characterized presence nearly orthogonal fracture sets, interpreted systematic and non-systematic joints often cutting Quaternary deposits. An original methodology fault joint inversion Monte C...

The basement of southeast Brazil is traditionally interpreted as the result Neoproterozoic and early Paleozoic orogenic cycles. Wide regions Atlantic Plateau (southeast Brazil) are characterized by rocks tectonic structures Precambrian age. According to classical literature, these have not been affected tectonics since Miocene, despite fact that they rest close Cenozoic basins, which suffered r...
