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.

The influence of lithology and pre-existing structures on reservoir-scale faulting patterns in transtensional rift zones (2005)
Journal Article
De Paola, N., Holdsworth, R., & McCaffrey, K. (2005). The influence of lithology and pre-existing structures on reservoir-scale faulting patterns in transtensional rift zones. Journal of the Geological Society, 162(3), 471-480. https://doi.org/10.1144/0016-764904-043

In transtensional and transpressional deformation zones, bulk 3D strains are often kinematically partitioned into regions of wrench- and extension- or shortening-dominated faulting. Most strain models assume ideal incompressible materials with a Pois...

Partitioned transtension: an alternative to basin inversion models (2005)
Journal Article
De Paola, N., Holdsworth, R., McCaffrey, K., & Barchi, M. (2005). Partitioned transtension: an alternative to basin inversion models. Journal of Structural Geology, 27(4), 607-625. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsg.2005.01.006

‘Inversion structures’ (e.g. folds, reverse faults) spatially associated with basin-bounding faults are very widely recognised in rift basins in both onshore and offshore settings worldwide. The great majority of such structures are attributed to loc... Read More about Partitioned transtension: an alternative to basin inversion models.
