Abstract Brittle reactivation of plastic shear zones is frequently observed in geologically old terranes. To better understand such deformation zones, we have studied the >700 Ma long structural history Himdalen–Ørje Deformation Zone (HØDZ) SE Norway by K–Ar and 40 Ar– 39 Ar geochronology, characterization. Several generations mylonites make up ductile part HØDZ, Ørje Shear Zone. A white mic...

Sleep is known to support the consolidation of newly encoded and initially labile memories. Once consolidated, remote memories can return to a labile state upon reactivation and need to become reconsolidated in order to persist. Here we asked whether sleep also benefits the reconsolidation of remote memories after their reactivation and how reconsolidation during sleep compares to sleep-depende...

According to current models of episodic memory, the hippocampus binds together the neural representation of an experience during encoding such that it can be reinstated in cortex during subsequent retrieval. However, direct evidence linking hippocampal engagement during encoding with subsequent cortical reinstatement during retrieval is lacking. In this study, we aim to directly test the relati...

We used scaled experimental (analog) models with wet clay to investigate how conjugate sets of steeply dipping strike-slip faults affect deformation patterns during a subsequent phase of extension. In all twophase experiments, an initial phase of strike-slip deformation produces a long, wide deformation zone consisting of subvertical Riedel shears; synthetic R-shears and antithetic R'-shears tr...

Exposed in large, continuous outcrops Provence, southern France, the Castellas fault formed as a normal Upper Cretaceous and was reactivated left-lateral Eocene. Structural, petrographical, isotopic, geochronological analyses shed light on sequence of deformational-diagenetic stages zone help identify properties that controlled fluid-flow behavior through time. Abrupt contrasts fracture abundan...

The Campos and Santos Basins have been a focus of subsurface studies since the discovery in 2006 large accumulations hydrocarbons Early Cretaceous rift post-rift strata below Aptian evaporites. In this study, regional 2D seismic lines, 3D survey well data were interpreted to reconstruct tectono-stratigraphic evolution stages northern sector Basin. Detailed interpretation geological modelling us...

The control exerted by the Mesozoic basin configuration on Cenozoic tectonic evolution of Catalan Coastal Ranges has been frequently recognized as a key factor to explain its present-day structure. However, details this structural inheritance and through geological time is still under discussion. In work we present two cross-sections based fieldwork, well magnetotelluric data in order illustrat...
