Variability in the three-dimensional geometry of segmented normal fault surfaces

Vincent Roche et al.

Summary: Normal faults typically consist of multiple sub-parallel segments separated by intact or breached relay zones, which can be classified based on their orientations and connections in 3D space. A large database of fault surfaces generated from 3D seismic reflection surveys highlights the diversity in fault geometry and demonstrates that geological controls play a significant role in the observed fault geometries. The presence of a variety of relay zone geometries on a single fault suggests that individual faults can contain both bifurcating and unconnected segments in three dimensions.

Along-strike permeability variation in carbonate-hosted fault zones

E. A. H. Michie et al.

Summary: The study found that the juxtaposition of different lithofacies can cause a highly variable microstructure and permeability in fault cores, while juxtaposition of the same or similar lithofacies can result in increased microstructural homogeneity and lower variability in permeability values.

Fault-controlled upwelling of low-T hydrothermal fluids tracked by travertines in a fold-and-thrust belt, Monte Alpi, southern apennines, Italy

L. Smeraglia et al.

Summary: Active faults within the southern Apennines fold-and-thrust belt control the upwelling of hydrothermal fluids at surface. The study in the Monte Alpi area reveals that travertines formed in a paleo-fluvial environment precipitated from CO2-rich meteoric-derived fluids. High-permeability fluid conduits localized along fault zones at fault intersections, while low-permeability fault zones were observed in clay smeared fault segments in shales and metapelites.
