Shear Zone Dynamics

Shear Zone Dynamics is a theoretical framework within structural geology that characterizes the mechanical and kinematic behavior of localized ductile to brittle deformation zones in the lithosphere, distinguished by its focus on strain partitioning, rheological evolution, and stress transfer along transform tectonic boundaries.
