Numerical analysis of fold curvature using data acquired by high-precision GPS (2006)
Journal Article
Pearce, M., Jones, R., Smith, S., McCaffrey, K., & Clegg, P. (2006). Numerical analysis of fold curvature using data acquired by high-precision GPS. Journal of Structural Geology, 28(9), 1640-1646. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsg.2006.05.010

The maximum, minimum, Gaussian, and mean curvatures of a folded bedding surface are calculated from a high resolution data set. These data were collected using real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS and processed using commercially available software. The cur...

Complex fault patterns, transtension and structural segmentation of the Lofoten Ridge, Norwegian Margin: using digital mapping to link onshore and offshore geology (2006)
Journal Article
Wilson, R., McCaffrey, K., Holdsworth, R., Imber, J., Jones, R., Welbon, A., & Roberts, D. (2006). Complex fault patterns, transtension and structural segmentation of the Lofoten Ridge, Norwegian Margin: using digital mapping to link onshore and offshore geology. Tectonics, 25(4), https://doi.org/10.1029/2005tc001895

An integrated onshore-offshore study involving regional to outcrop-scale fault analysis is used to develop a self-consistent structural model for transtension along the Lofoten Ridge. The Lofoten-Vesterålen archipelago (LVA) is a segmented basement h...

Three-Dimensional Brittle Shear Fracturing by Tensile Crack Interaction. (2006)
Journal Article
Healy, D., Jones, R., & Holdsworth, R. (2006). Three-Dimensional Brittle Shear Fracturing by Tensile Crack Interaction. Nature, 439, 64-67. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature04346

Faults in brittle rock are shear fractures formed through the interaction and coalescence of many tensile microcracks1,2,3. The geometry of these microcracks and their surrounding elastic stress fields control the orientation of the final shear fract...
