A structural model is developed for the south-central Taiwan fold-and-thrust belt that shows consistency across an array of data types and marks important step forward in consideration geological hazards risks. Although there general agreement about regional scale geology Taiwan, are considerable differences interpretations its western belt. In this paper, we bring together results our previous...

Spring water geochemistry is applied here to evaluate the geothermal potential in Rhenohercynian fold and thrust belt around deepest borehole Belgium (Havelange borehole: 5648 m MD). Fifty springs (few) wells Havelange were chosen according a multicriteria approach including hydrothermal source of “Chaudfontaine” (T ? 36 °C) taken as reference for area. The waters sampled, except Chaudfontaine ...

Abstract Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility can provide insights into strain distribution in models simulating fold-and-thrust belts. Models with layers sand and magnetite mixture shortened above adjacent decollements high low friction, are used to study the effect decollement friction on fabric. Above high-friction decollement, an imbricate stack produced a ‘tectonic’ fabric foliation paral...

[1] The southern Canadian foreland fold-and-thrust belt (FFTB) (SW Alberta–SE British Columbia) records the interplay between foreland basin evolution with the deformingwedge and thus controls the regionalscale overburden and exhumation history. Overburden estimates are typically based on the assumption that peak burials were reached by sedimentary burial prior to the emplacement of thrust shee...
