Convergent plate margin dynamics: New perspectives from structural geology, geophysics and geodynamic modelling

Introduction to the special issue on convergent plate margin dynamics

Convergent plate margins are arguably the most complicated and dynamic plate boundaries on Earth and have been the subject of many investigations and discussions since the advent of plate tectonic theory. Due to the varied, heterogeneous and complex structure of convergent plate margins, which arises from the multiple geological, physical and chemical processes operating at these zones, and bec...

Structural dynamics in northern Atlas of Tunisian, Jendouba area: insights from geology and gravity data

This paper presents a new interpretation of the geometry of Triassic alignment of J. Sidi Mahdi –J. Zitoun in Medjerda Valley Plain (Northern Tunisia) based on detailed analysis of gravity and seismic reflection data. The main results of gravity analysis do not show a distinguish gravity anomaly over Triassic evaporites bodies. The positive gravity anomaly seems to be related to the entire stru...

Groundwater Modelling: from Geology to Hydrogeology

Three-dimensional mapping has extensively developed in the last decade; geological mapping being the area where these developments are more striking. 3D geological mapping has a myriad of applications in the domains of basin analysis, geophysics, geostatistics, geothermal and energy resources, etc. A parallel domain of development has been three-dimensional groundwater modelling: regional groun...
