Unlocking the spatial dimension: digital technologies and the future of geoscience fieldwork (2005)
Journal Article
McCaffrey, K., Jones, R., Holdsworth, R., Wilson, R., Clegg, P., Imber, J., …Trinks, I. (2005). Unlocking the spatial dimension: digital technologies and the future of geoscience fieldwork. Journal of the Geological Society, 162(6), 927-938. https://doi.org/10.1144/0016-764905-017

The development of affordable digital technologies that allow the collection and analysis of georeferenced field data represents one of the most significant changes in field-based geoscientific study since the invention of the geological map. Digital... Read More about Unlocking the spatial dimension: digital technologies and the future of geoscience fieldwork.

Putting the geology back into Earth models (2005)
Journal Article
McCaffrey, K., Holdsworth, R., Imber, J., Clegg, P., De Paola, N., Jones, R., …Trinks, I. (2005). Putting the geology back into Earth models. Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 86(46), 461-466. https://doi.org/10.1029/2005eo460001

New digital methods for data capture can now provide photorealistic, spatially precise, and geometrically accurate three-dimensional (3-D) models of rocks exposed at the Earth's surface [Xu et al., 2000; Pringle et al., 2001; Clegg et al., 2005]. The... Read More about Putting the geology back into Earth models.

Early Tertiary sinistral transpression and fault reactivation in the western Vøring Basin, Norwegian Sea: implications for hydrocarbon exploration and pre-break up deformation in ocean margin basins (2005)
Journal Article
Imber, J., Holdsworth, R., McCaffrey, K., Wilson, R., Jones, R., England, R., & Gjeldvik, G. (2005). Early Tertiary sinistral transpression and fault reactivation in the western Vøring Basin, Norwegian Sea: implications for hydrocarbon exploration and pre-break up deformation in ocean margin basins. AAPG Bulletin, 89(8), 1043-1069. https://doi.org/10.1306/02240504043

The Nyk High is an approximately northeast-trending, Late Cretaceous to early Tertiary structural high situated in the western Vøring Basin, offshore Norway. It is defined by a thick sequence of Upper Cretaceous to lower Tertiary sediments that dip t...

Scale dependence, strain compatibility and heterogeneity of three-dimensional deformation during mountain building: a discussion (2005)
Journal Article
Jones, R., Holdsworth, R., McCaffrey, K., Clegg, P., & Tavarnelli, E. (2005). Scale dependence, strain compatibility and heterogeneity of three-dimensional deformation during mountain building: a discussion. Journal of Structural Geology, 27(7), 1190-1204. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsg.2005.04.001

Plate motion at convergent margins causes crustal shortening and orogenic thickening. Relative motion that is oblique to the plate margins is an inevitable consequence of plate kinematics on a sphere and results in non-coaxial three-dimensional defor...

Inclined transpression (2004)
Journal Article
Jones, R., Holdsworth, R., Clegg, P., McCaffrey, K., & Tavarnelli, E. (2004). Inclined transpression. Journal of Structural Geology, 26(8), 1531-1548. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsg.2004.01.004

Inclined transpression can be defined in terms of simultaneous contraction and strike-slip and dip-slip shearing, and is illustrated here using a strain triangle in which the apices represent the three strain components. Strain matrix modelling shows... Read More about Inclined transpression.

Domainal deformation patterns and strain partitioning during transpression: an example from the Southern Uplands terrane, Scotland (2002)
Journal Article
Holdsworth, R., Tavarnelli, E., Clegg, P., Pinheiro, R., Jones, R., & McCaffrey, K. (2002). Domainal deformation patterns and strain partitioning during transpression: an example from the Southern Uplands terrane, Scotland. Journal of the Geological Society, 159(4), 401-415. https://doi.org/10.1144/0016-764901-123

The partitioning of deformation into wrench- and contraction-dominated deformation domains is a widely reported but poorly described phenomenon in ancient transpression zones. This paper documents spectacularly exposed examples of such partitioning f...
