Faults play a crucial role in controlling strain accumulation in the Earth’s crust. At the largest scale they control the form and evolution of sedimentary basins and at the smallest scale, the development of fault zones results in a change in the mechanical and hydrological properties of the fault rocks, thereby impacting on their mechanical strength and permeability. With recent advances in subsurface, modelling and field-based studies, this conference aims to bring together a diverse range of scientists interested in fault growth, fault zone properties and their effects on other processes such as fluid flow and earthquake processes.
Specific themes include (but are not restricted to):
