retinal detachment surgery has been considered an inpatient hospital procedure requiring preoperative and postoperative hospitalization. in this pilot study, outpatient retinal detachment surgery was performed on sixteen patients and the results (100% success rate after an average follow-up of 8.3 months) were comparable or better than reported overall success rates for retinal detachment in th...

effective approach to defining additional resources using 3-D seismic as the sole data source. Although this example is from a densely drilled province, such a seismic-based approach is often used in frontier areas with sparse well coverage, in step-out regions around known production, can be used for a “quick look” evaluation of existing properties, and for real-time interpretation of newly ac...

Subduction initiation is a critical link in the plate tectonic cycle. Intraoceanic subduction zones can form along transform faults and fracture zones, but how subduction nucleates parallel to mid-ocean ridges, as in e.g., the Neotethys Ocean during the Jurassic, remains a matter of debate. In recent years, extensional detachment faults have been widely documented adjacent to slow-spreading and...

Three devastating earthquakes of MW ≥ 5.9 activated a complex system high-angle normal, antithetic, and sub-horizontal detachment faults during the 2016–2017 central Italy seismic sequence. Waveform cross-correlation based double-difference location nearly 400,000 aftershocks illuminate complex, fine-scale structures interacting fault zones. The Mt. Vettore–Mt. Bove (VB) normal exhibits wide da...

Coogan and DeCelles (1996) provided a welcome addition to the debate on the Sevier Desert reflection. The evidence and arguments presented on the nature of this subsurface feature merit particular scrutiny, as they bear directly on a firstorder issue in tectonics: the mechanical paradox of low-angle normal faults. Field geologists have argued that in some cases such faults must have moved at di...
