Mesozoic strike-slip faults in the northern Dutch offshore; new insights from seismic- and anlalogue modelling data

Abstract

Mesozoic Strike-slip features in the northern Dutch offshore that occurred under regional extensional and compressional tectonics are often not recognised as such and even when they are, they often remain poorly understood. This study provides new insights into various strike-slip faults in the Northern Dutch Offshore in terms of location, timing, sense- and amount of displacement and fault salt interaction. These insights are gained by combining several detailed seismic analyses with an analogue modelling study.
