High-resolution investigations of fault architecture in space and time by Leonardo Del Sole, Giulio Viola, Luca Aldega, Vincenzo Moretto, Manuel Curzi, Ruikai Xie, Luigi Cantelli, Gianluca Vignaroli

“…Therefore, fault architectures shall be seen as dynamic features from which to extrapolate time-integrated comprehensive fault models accounting for the entire deformed rock volume and fault life span. We demonstrate that high-resolution studies of fault architectures are required to elucidate modes of fault growth and evolution, decipher long-lived, polyphase tectonic and thermal histories, and understand the influence of heterogenous fault architecture on hydraulic compartmentalization and earthquake rupture dynamics.…”
