The separation and characterisation of different deformation events in superimposed basins can be challenging due to the effects overprinting and/or fault reactivation, combined with a lack detailed geological or geophysical data. This paper shows how an onshore study enhanced using targeted interpretation contiguous structures offshore imaged by seismic reflection Two events, including evidenc...

CHAN, A.W. and ZOBACK, M.D., 2007. The role of hydrocarbon production on land subsidence and fault reactivation in the Louisiana coastal zone. Journal of Coastal Research, 23(3), 771–786. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 07490208. We use a simple analytical model of reservoir compaction and a numerical model incorporating both reservoir compaction and fault slip to investigate surface subsidence...

The Gafsa mining basin district in Southwestern Tunisia is one of the most important producers of phosphate in the world. The exploitation of this district started at the beginning of the twentieth century a few years after the first discovery of this valuable resource. The over-exploitation of groundwater to wash the phosphate caused water-level decline in the main aquifers and the corollaries...
