Fold-and-thrust belts occur worldwide, have formed in all eras of
geological time, and are widely recognized as the most common mode in
which the crust accommodates shortening. Much current research on the
structure of fold-and-thrust belts is focused on structural studies of
regions or individual structures and on the geometry and evolution of
these regions employing kinematic, mechanical and experimental
modelling. In keeping with the main trends of current research, this
title is devoted to the kinematic evolution and structural styles of a
number of fold-and-thrust belts formed from Palaeozoic to Recent times.
The papers included in this book cover a broad range of different
topics, from modelling approaches to predict internal deformation of
single structures, 3D reconstructions to decipher the structural
evolution of groups of structures, palaeomagnetic studies of portions of
fold-and-thrust belts, geometrical and kinematical aspects of Coulomb
thrust wedges and structural analyses of fold-and-thrust belts to
unravel their sequence of deformations.
