1. Quantifying strain in analogue models simulating fold-and-thrust belts using magnetic fabric analysis
Sammanfattning : Applying the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility to analogue models provides detailed insights into the strain distribution and quantification of deformation within contractional tectonic settings like fold-and-thrust belts (FTBs). Shortening in FTBs is accommodated by layer-parallel shortening, folding, and thrusting. LÄS MER
2. Superimposition of Contractional Structures in Models and Nature
Sammanfattning : Superimposition of contractional structures is widely observed in different scales in the world. Superimposed structures form due to different processes: change in strain accommodation from one type of structure to another during a single progressive shortening; successive coaxial shortening phases separated by an unconformity; superimposition of different non-coaxial shortening phases.

3. Tectonic Evolution of the Zagros Suture-and Imbricate Zones in Iraq
Sammanfattning : Orogenic belts are expressions of tectonic activity, often host various natural resources (e.g. petroleum and minerals reserves), and influence the society and environment through hazards (e.g. LÄS MER
4. Revealing invisible strain : Magnetic Fabric Analysis as Strain Indicator in Analogue Models and Nature
Sammanfattning : Strain is accommodated by folding, thrusting and an “invisible” component, known as penetrative strain. Magnetic fabric analysis allows for identification and quantification of this imperceivable strain. In this thesis, magnetic fabric analysis is applied to quantify strain in analogue sandbox models.
