Influence of stratigraphic setting and simple shear on layer-bound compaction faults offshore Mauritania (2011)
Journal Article
Ireland, M., Goulty, N., & Davies, R. (2011). Influence of stratigraphic setting and simple shear on layer-bound compaction faults offshore Mauritania. Journal of Structural Geology, 33(4), 487-499. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsg.2010.11.005

We have used three-dimensional seismic data to examine the geometry of layer-bound compaction faults on the Mauritanian continental margin. The faults deform a fine-grained Neogene unit which mantles buried canyons. Above the canyons, most layer-boun...

Influence of pore water chemistry on silica diagenesis: evidence from the interaction of diagenetic reaction zones with polygonal fault systems (2010)
Journal Article
Ireland, M., Goulty, N., & Davies, R. (2010). Influence of pore water chemistry on silica diagenesis: evidence from the interaction of diagenetic reaction zones with polygonal fault systems. Journal of the Geological Society, 167(2), 273-279. https://doi.org/10.1144/0016-76492009-049

Three-dimensional seismic data from the NE Atlantic margin have revealed opal-A to opal-CT reaction zones hosted in Oligo-Pliocene strata as bright reflection events that cross-cut stratigraphic reflections. In some areas, the topographic relief at t...
